Extend your stroke as you go to air to achieve greater distance per stroke, which is what elite swimmers do.

  • even this super fuckin old coach can do it.. lol :d

  • watching this video, i have noticed that during the extension the swimmer in the video is moving his shoulder to the surface which is faulty. You are supposed to catch deep which means enter so when extending your hand is underneath your shoulder. This will help with rotation and create a more powerful pull. There are some elite swimmers that do what is done in the video such as Ian Thorpe, however he drops his arm while extending so he could rotate. Great video otherwise.

  • daghan kau swimmimg lesson

  • why do you kjeep your head down while doing this? i learned swimming when i was 4 and i just swim by instincts but when i swim like this i dont put my head on the water , i just breath normally like walking and swimming lol

  • diving school playuh!

  • I noticed this in the pool today, that when I extend my opposite arm and hand while turning up to breathe it was easier to keep my balance and stroke and breathe.

    This was the first hit I got when I googels 'Proper Freestyle Swimming Techinique.

    Good video and thanks for taking the time to put this out there. I will help a lot of people like me.

    Just what I was looking for.

    Now I need the 20 or so other little tips to keep swimming right.

    Thanks.
