 Christian from swimfrey.com. Today we're gonna learn how to swim the freestyle in three steps and I'm gonna remind you what are the simple way to learn how to swim freestyle. So we have a lot of beginners who ask on the YouTube channel how to swim the freestyle or to master it and things. So remember guys the first thing for freestyle is to be comfortable, relaxed and to feel and the intention is to glide forward and to stretch your muscles. It's not a fight it's all about sensation and enjoying the movement and the glide. So step number one very simple you know to blow your bubbles you know how to stretch your arms forward we'll just learn how to do the streamline so you can be here over there. Edgar over there is the cameraman for today. Say hi Edgar. Okay so step one you just need to learn how to do your streamline. Learn how to glide on the surface, put your chin down your head under your arms. So I take a big breath, I push and I glide. Okay I will do it again. So we just did it for four meters. Very simple, your hands forward, your chin down, you blow your bubbles on the surface, very simple to master. Okay step two it's time to learn how to use your arms, the stroke. So when you pull remember to keep your elbows up so you push in the water with your hands so the pressure will be over there and on your forearms. So you need to learn how to pull in the water with your arms until the end, bring back your arms on the front and then glide. So for this very easy. Let's take the board. Okay so I have my board here. I'm a beginner you can take any board you want remember the board don't push the board. You need to push the board forward don't push the board down. Come again you know. So learn how to pull and pull and pull. Feel the movement, same distance just do your streamline our position and start to pull with your hands. So you need to feel it, you feel the pressure on your hands and you feel it helps you to move forward. Okay so now we can do the same without the board. Now freestyle when you would swim your freestyle it's with no board so I'll put the board there and I will learn how to do it with my hands on the surface. So it's the same things you will try to learn your freestyle with your hands gliding forward. Okay be careful don't fall in the water okay try to keep your hands gliding on the front on the surface so I can see your skin on the surface. So I take a big breath, I blow my bubbles and I will pull three times. Okay no need to worry about how to breathe for now just three stroke without breathing out just go your bubbles. Okay so I can move forward. Okay after a certain point of time you need to breathe because you cannot keep going like this forever. We need some air. So you need to learn how to breathe so let's say we're gonna breathe after the third stroke. So we do the same things one and touch, two and touch and now I want to breathe so turn your head on the side pull with your hands and turn your head in the same time on the side you are pulling so turn and pull breathe remember when you breathe right don't go up if you go up your legs behind you will sink so try to stay as close then you can from the water surface and keep your eye in the water when you breathe. Don't use your arms as a pillow try to put your head inside the hole over there but not on your skin. So it looks like one pull bubbles touch your hands, two pull bubbles touch your hands turn on the side breathe ice in the water go back inside the water before your hands and okay let's try slowly the idea is to be relaxed guys so no need to put pressure super slowly. Okay so I can do it one time and then after you continue on the other side so one two turn on the right one two turn on the left okay my hair easier with this right? Okay so let's try for maybe eight meters a little bit more same things touch touch turn on the right ice in the water touch touch turn on the left and touch don't forget when you turn your head don't sink your hands that time keep your hands gliding forward slowly try to feel you are gliding forward. Okay so that's for the freestyle touch so the real freestyle guys this is the step number three I will put a step one streamline step two learn how to pull with a board in your hands step three learn how to do the freestyle without the board but with your hands touching each other the real freestyle is not like touching your hands each other the real freestyle is actually gliding with your hands one by one so it will be like you're here instead of touching and touching learn how to relax shoulders elbows try to feel it the idea right is to glide on the surface don't go sinking glide on the surface open your hands like your shoulders wide you're here instead of being like this we're gonna open and from that open position after my pull to the end lift up your elbows relax your hands and try to throw your hands as far as possible to touch the surface of the water as fast as possible if you eat the surface with your hand after this don't sink glide underwater and stretch with your shoulders and your nails okay so you will look like I finish my stroke lift up your elbows relax your arms try to drop your hand as fast as possible touch the water and glide on the water as fast as possible same with your other hand so we look like one stretch and glide to stretch and glide then the other hand can go when this one is coming back stretch and like you know they work together this one's glide this one pull pull stretch relax elbows pull and stretch and this on the side back back back avoid to fight avoid to be like a robot he has to be smooth okay so let's try slowly I open the difference is not like this anymore it's open and touch glide pull touch pull and glide my hands go back touch pull and glide all right very slowly same same turn at number three on the turning is the same turn at number three breathe go back stretch and pull okay guys so you can download on learn to swim up on your smartphone we have an application for iPhone and for Android have a look you can also check the website swimflight.com if you would like to have some class with us or have some tips additional and keep us dropping some comments we're very happy to keep helping you guys hope this video help you this is Christian from subscribe.com see you again bye bye
