Freestyle Swimming Technique – Secrets To Perfect Your Technique

 

Are you faced with the problem of not getting the speed you need while swimming?  You may be surprised but the problem is not that you are not kicking fast enough but that your entire idea of what needs to take place while swimming is what is holding you back!

Join Hundreds Of Freestyle Swimmers Who’ve All Used Brenton Ford’s “Effortless Swimming” Program To Advance Their Freestyle Swimming Technique To New Levels Visit Effortless Swimming

Michael Phelps at the Olympic games looks like he can just effortlessly beat all the records while he has a calm, confident command of his body and you wonder why you can not do the same thing. 

There are a couple of things that you just need to know before you start looking into what you are doing wrong, or what you are not doing!  We will look at some of these and go from there.

A Few things that many Freestyle Swimming Technique training coaches do not know:

• Many coaches do not know how to teach beginners how to swim, they can only deal with people that are already used to swimming laps or other activities.
• Most of the coaches can only teach fairly good swimmers how to improve a little!  They can help these otherwise strong swimmers make small adjustments to their techniques which only improve them by fractions of seconds.
• When asked to help a swimmer decrease their times in whole seconds, they will usually have better things to do that day…

Getting back to the basics in Freestyle Swimming Technique

 
Some of the things to look for when attempting to correct your Freestyle Swimming Technique are:

• Do you drop your elbow in the recovery OR can you have a relaxed arm, as you should, which will conserve energy instead of expending it unnecessarily?
• Are you in the habit of choking on water after each breath OR can you breathe comfortably and not have to gasp for breath?
• Are you ‘fishtailing’ all over the pool OR can you swim straight which will actually cut seconds off your lap all by itself?
• Do you have a weak kick that athletes battle with constantly OR can you direct your kick to ensure you are moving forward and can pick up the pace whenever you want?
• Do your feet constantly sink, acting like an anchor on your body OR can you swim so high in the water that you experience no real resistance at all?
• Do you have a wide ‘S’ shaped pull that is inefficient OR can you adjust that by feeling, instead of guessing, the way the pulling should be?
• Do you have a marked lack of rotation in and from the hips and shoulders OR can you rotate easily, to move through the water more efficiently, from hips to shoulders?
• Are you struggling to catch your breath after just a few laps OR do you know that one thing you can change in your stroke that will enable you to not have to stop at the end of each lap?
• Are you confident, calm and relaxed when in the water?

Taking care of these Freestyle Swimming Technique issues will gain you speed and win races!

 
As was stated earlier, many coaches do not know about a great many of these.  They are not in the position to tell you about them or show you what is meant by them.  They will not be of particular help to you. 

There are not a lot of books written about these very critical elements of Freestyle Swimming Technique and those that are have been kept by the coaches to use with their own team of swimmers!

So, what are you to do about your Freestyle Swimming Technique?

 
There is a program, known as the Mastering Freestyle Program.  It was designed by an Australian National Swim coach named Brenton Ford. 

He has studied the problems that many people have in getting back to the basics that will allow them to gain the speed, confidence and the calm, relaxed demeanor they need to win any race they enter.

Along with his friend, Sam Ashby, he has developed the program that will help you take care of all of the above issues and many more and be on the top of your stroke within a very few weeks.

He does not claim that this is for everybody.  Indeed, you need to be able to swim a little bit and have the basic strokes down in order for this to be of the utmost help. 

After that, he claims he will be able to show you, through videos and prompted by a book, in PDF format, what, exactly is needed to get you where you want to go.

Brent claims that Lap swimmers can improve their Freestyle Swimming Technique following the program without needing any other coaches. 

Triathletes can use this program in the pool or on the open water with equal success.  Competitive pool swimmers can incorporate these drills with their normal training.  Even children, 12 and above, can use this program to give them a very good starting point in developing the best Freestyle Swimming Technique early on in their swimming career!

Brent and Sam have discovered that, with this program, they are finding that many professional swimmers have not been served very well by their coaches. 

They have been able to help many of these professionals break some of the personal records they had and have gotten testimonials from many of them to that effect!  That has to tell you something about the effectiveness of this program.

Where to go from here in working on your Freestyle Swimming Technique?
 
The Mastering Freestyle Program is available from Brent’s Web Site.  The cost is reasonable and it has a 60 day money back guarantee.
