How to basic swimming strokes Videos

+Rahul Sarangdhar exhale through the nose

Breathe through mouth never breathe through the nose

+Chekwattooh tseh a pool might be better than a lake or river

+Chekwattooh tseh If you are worried about bacteria in the pool then why are you in there in the first place.

+skedtm you don't choke having your mouth open underwater but you´ll end up getting water inn your mouth. eww! with all those unknown bacteria on the pool, I would rather close my mouth.

A hundred meter lane I meant, I don't know the length of Olympic pools. Slow swimming, I think 3 to 4 breaths per stroke. But its still difficult I reckon. I believe that breathing every 1 stroke shuld lessen the exhaustion. eg Breath then stroke.  like phelps does in the Olympics. I think that's how all of  them olimpic  swimmers swim. Breath after  one stroke. 

When you say slow swimming is difficult, are you talking in regards to not going all out in stroking fast? Such as a runner going for long distance, a swimmer going at a more slower pace to get more laps? If so how many breaths are normal in more slow, long distance type of swimming? And were you talking about 3-4 breaths for a Olympic style pool?

+Slenderman No when you're breathing the correct method is just to kick hrder to keep afloat

+Slenderman Definitely trying this! Thank you!

+Chew Rui Lin Me too!!!! :-(

When swimming try to use the dog paddle to breath and continue regular swimming, it's what I do

Now I can swim when I go to the pool or beach

s and can I learn swimming

5-7? BUT I'M 8

Huh

+The Cookie Ironically increasing your chances of actually drowning lol...

+Alan Rai try to attempt a 500 freestyle and come to me

+billy smith Bitch is such a baby word… yawn

+Jennifer Moran shut up bitch

no

+jennifer Campos you're gonna drown cunt?

okay

COOL

how'd it go

oh

ME TOO TBH

try closing your mouth when swimming remain calm and breath through your nose.That's how i did

Same here

Close your mouth tightly, if it gets in your nose its normal, just don't breathe in

Lol

Wannabe weak butterfly

They are other strokes out there, don't lose hope..

+Dylan Hermann you're hopeless.

+Mystic Wolfs I know that is like totally wrong!!!

I know right

She's not that good

She is not fine because her technique is off, and if you practice wrong technique for a long time it will be hard to revert to proper technique. So I recommend after watching this video to watch another more advanced one just to get a better image of what proper technique looks like.

She is fine. They should compare her to an advanced swimmer though.

Thanks, I need to teach me 12 year old these strokes. Any thoughts?

don't do hand entry at centerline like in the vid. you will waste energy on lateral force and cause wagging.

Wow thankx this help me out a lot

How to swim underwater?

didn't work for me

Is it hard?

Nice

+Fabi Araujo Try working on a back float first. Here's a link to a video that does a nice job explaining the back float (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sS0PZSrI-GI).  Also, I discuss back floats in my “Backstroke for Beginners” video (https://youtu.be/nbG7uKqo2CA).  For front floats, head position is very important.  Generally, the higher you hold your head, the more your feet will sink.  You need to learn to hold your breath and put your face in.  My “Preparing Beginning Swimmers for Freestyle” video (https://youtu.be/2XQy3pfniKk) covers floats, as well as glides.  I hope this helps.  Don’t give up!

+Vandana Suresh While some coaches preach to exhale out your nose, I wouldn't teach a student to inhale exclusively through their nose. Here are some other videos for you to review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCDRmpS8N5s, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cO-4HzHsAsw, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLC_xA07taM, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIbSsad0z9U

+Chris Burton my coach insists that breathing thru mouth is not correct technique and one should inhale thru nose during freestyle swimming. For me it seems practically impossible to inhale thru nose .pls advise

Is it possible to inhale through nose. Bcoz my coach keeps insisting that inhaling through mouth is wrong technique. And it seems impracticable for me to inhale through nose.

+Vandana Suresh Inhale through your mouth. Use a nice open AHHH don't sip the air through a straw.

+Chris Burton Thank you very much. 

+Maxwell Havins 1) Check your head position. If you have your head arched back too far or tucked in too much, this could lead you to drift in the direction that your head is pointing. 2) Check your rotation. If you over-roatate towards your back or under-rotate towards your stomach, this could affect your ability to swim straight as well.

i can swim too and im here to feel better because I feel bad that I can't play football or anything involving a ball (well i have not tried football but im pretty sure im not good at it) so ppl at my school think they are superior for being good at it but most of them don't know how to swim so i feel better xD i know i sound crazy but i really feel bad :( i'll have p.e next semester so im going to be embarrased

We have to think about how to develop a swimmer from a "train to train", "train to compete" to "train to win" levels. My knowledge is up to train to win level. Lastly, the guy also did a good job by starting his kicks from his hips on the video. So, he said this, he did it. Good demon! Even though, I don't like his kicks, he demonstrates it correctly for beginners. I think he does a good job.

@ayzhdizzle Arrington ya you are thinking of the right kick :) it starts in your abs and back muscles and flows down your body, when at race pace your kicks will be medium with your toes braking the surface when you recoil your legs. I think his kicks were just really exadurated just to help people learn how to do it :)

yup, i think it really helps. i am getting better at timing my gaseous releases with my kicks and my lap times are improving. i found that instead of beans, the best combination is single malt scotch and braised squash (eggplant, zuccini) - that makes for the most gaseous releases

The scissor kick. Thats what you use for backstroke and freestyle. Dolphin can be used for the beginning of freestyle and backstroke but when you come out, you must be doing scissor kick. In breaststroke, doing dolphin kicks is illegal. You use dolphin for all of fly.

Thank you. I've been swimming 3-4X a week now for several months and finally have enough strength to attempt the butterfly, but it was so awkward. It's been so long that I'd forgotten how. So that's why I'm here, to relearn how to do the butterfly.

my arm used to be weak, until i done my exercise at gym center for a period of time, now i feel my arms power is getting bigger, i can try the butterfly stroke, but still long steps to be done to be able to perfect the style.

Don't worry I'm already 20 (and almost drowned thrice) and I learned to swim breast stroke, freestyle and backstroke in 2 months with a proper coach. Moving on to the butterfly now (which is why I'm here, of course)!

Good Lord... I've been doing competitive swimming for 9 years, almost 10. I had to substitute when our butterfly swimmer got sick & missed a meet... I've never had a more humiliating experience in my life. o.O

I got taught my Michael Phelps to swim butterfly at his practices , and im not lying , he taught me and 15 other people how to swim , im training for the U.S. Olympic team im 16 years old.

I have a semester long class... they taught us this one weeks ago. I can't get it!! I'm sure I look like a flailing fish, but two kicks for each stroke... this might help me.

would farting in rhythm with the kick give you some additional propulsion? i got the kick and the arm motion down, now just trying to time my farts to help push me along

u just swim, lol, don't try this style yet if u don't know how to swim, this is the most advance and hardest style to learn it should be the last one to learn

this guy is wrong you dont start the kick with the hips you start with the chest and the kicks arnt suppoed to be big they are suppoed to be mall and fast.

ugghh this looks so hard!! D: ..im trying out for the swim team at my highschool and they said u need to know how to do all 4 strokes...im so screwd :(

And once more, don't be show-off -..- because it makes me want to puke on it !!! And if you say you're not show-off then who ask out that question ?

WOW! shit ! i do this haha u need to practise for a last breath before doing this just feeel the air so u can swim really long breathing

like if you came hear cause its the olympics and ye kinda wanna like learn so you can become an athlete o_0 Anyway u know what i mean

How is it taking people over a week to learn the stroke? I'm only here to get faster, but jeez people... A month to learn butterfly?
