I dont know if you respond to old videos, but I just started TI because of them and have improved a lot my freestyle swim by learning from your videos.

I have a simple question: is your leg beat on open water the same as in the pool (2-beat)? Also, are you able to take a good breath right after sighting ? It seems like a very short breathing. Thanks !

@Swimbird82,

It is a good question. Since legs float more in the salt water, I try not to pick up my heels, but push down my insteps.

I take enough time for breathing. I roll up very quickly so I can start to breathe earlier than normal breathing.

Takeuchi Sensei, fabulous swim stroke in both pool and open water. You have inspired me to concentrate on the TI approach to swimming. It has helped me in the pool, but I am having trouble in the open water with this method. Could you please tell me some tips for open water swimming, with or without wetsuit. Thank you for your generosity in sharing videos and information. Iku zo!

1) Breathing

Since your head is submerged, you roll your head with the body more with the momentum you can get when you spear your hand.

2) Wider track

To stabilize your body, you enter your hands wider but extend them straight.

Do you recommend the finis freestyle paddle?

[tiswimjapan]

Yes. I sometime use junior paddles when I focus on hand entry. Senior paddles are too big for me since I do not intend to build muscles for pulling.

Magnificent.. just MAGNIFICENT! More videos like this one, please!

[budotri]

Thank you very much. I will work on it today. I have told all my swimmer friends to check out your videos: they are the best!

Hello Head Coach Takeuchi and TI Team

I am just a beginer to learn freestyle. So far, I can go 9 strokes but can not turn my body to side to get air in. Everytime I try to turn to side water go in to my nose and fill up my ear and I have to stop. Would you please show me how to balance the body to breath?

Thanks in advance!

wow this is real smooth. thanks for posting

[clusterbeam]

This guy surely has a wonderful, graceful style! He doesn't slash the water either with his hands or with his legs. Very nice!

Does this concept emphasis on hand power? You don't seem to be kicking
