    I’ve always been jealous of swimmers who can constantly move from one end of the pool to the other without stopping. This video will give me the tools I need to become a more efficient swimmer in the pool. Thanks!

    @nounever thanks anyway. There is this product named” helpo growth formula” that i ve been using it for weeks, and actually can see the difference when i look into the mirror. Hopefully i will get over 6ft

    @TheLeilisa makes you appear longer, leaner and you could say to some extent if you swim front crawl very intensively but going to the pool for 45 minutes of messing around 20 laps of half asked breast stroke won’t make you significantly taller.

    Does swimming regularly make you grow taller?

    What causes me disappointed with this video is just that it doesn’t give display and explanation of the other strokes : butterfly, breast and backstroke as mentioned in the video title. Mr. Brenton Ford, where can I see your video of these strokes other than freestyle, esp. butterfly and breaststroke ? Btw… thank you, I have downloaded almost all your videos of freestyle, including flip turn technique.

    Releasing the water from the hand is a small flick of the hands as they exit the water.

    @19990SAND i think that he is referring to the cutting of the water as your hand exits rather than to continue the pull as it exits.

    proper roll takes care of the elliptical…also as SAND unsure about the release the water tip…certainly appreciate the video though the swimming seems flat and not from side to side..I’ve observed there are many fast etc. swimmers who have flat form, and pay a price in shoulder injuries over time…any comments?

    could not understand what it means by “release the water from hand.”Aren’t we supposed to push water upto upper thigh and then recover?I was tatught to push parallel to wall one is coming from i.e thinking as if slapping the wall one is coming from.

    this video was done very well! I’m impressed.

    You don’t want to pull like an S shape pattern manually. When pulling water in straight line with bent elbow off course, your body will rotate and it will automatically create an S shape pattern. Body roll with steady head position is an essential part of freestyle.

    Thank you soo much for the AWESOME video. This gives me a much better mental image of how to swim the freestyle in the water. I never knew you were supposed to rotate the shoulders.

    fantastic! learn something new that was unclear in other videos

    very helpful, thanks! the internal shoulder rotation is not something that i was conscious of – i will be more aware of that now. regarding releasing the water, what exactly is the movement to do that?
