  • why are his feet so low?

  • Matt should have focussed more on his core/leg lift, though this type of drill does make it hard to keep the legs high - much easier in the full stroke. Well spotted...first time the query has been raised!

  • the best best video i have ever seen for non-beginner !!

  • Thanks....... High praise indeed! Regards Nigel

  • @burtrumbean i now this is from a long time ago but he has his hand almost on the surface of the water making his legs go down, this also makes the muscles of the legs to work more for trying to mantain the balance of the body therefore, you are wasting energy, a good stroke should look for your hand entering the water and pointing inches down the surface, this way the legs go up naturally, and is less effort, this video shows the elbow technique buta good stroke is more than that

  • @mistersmith6000 I recommend the single arm freestyle drill and focus on the catch with the left hand. Do 25s at an easy pace at low intensity.

  • I can feel the catch with my right (strong) hand - it feels intuitively right and balanced, and I can vary the speed and keep control, but on my weak side, I just don't feel the catch and the control. Any suggestions? I do try to isolate the left and do just the left and just the right. Should I be doubling up on the isolation of the left laps?

  • why u call this silver bronze swimmer? lol, he must be competing with kids.

  • I have watched this countless times, and its really making a difference, thanks!

  • penis

  • You have been thanked a million times over for this but i need to say it again. Thank you so much. The sad thing is that if we were taught this as kids - 20 years ago, imagine the quality of swimmers we would be. Its taken alot of getting use to with the proper technique but i already feel quicker through the water.
