Swimming is a low impact and non-weight-bearing sport. You don’t have the constant weight of you body pushing down on your bones or joints. You don’t constantly crash into the ground either, the way you do when you are running. This is obviously good for your bones. Or is it?

Swimming attracts a specific kind of naturally flexible people. Being flexible helps swimmers get into the positions that other normal people cannot get to. That is called having full range of motion. Flexible joints allow for better more efficient angles for the hands and feet. These angles create strategic pressure in the water to move forward faster.

One of the main problems I have while swimming breaststroke is that I do a very wide kick. On this video I will show you some exercises I worked on to get better at kicking in breaststroke.
The most common way fo practicing the kick is with a board. But I really don’t like this method because of the posture of the head and chest. This is not a natural swimming position. That is why I like kicking on my back even for breaststroke kick. Try this exercises and use your core to stay afloat and make sure your knees are not coming out of the surface too much.
The next exercise is breaststroke with three kicks. After you do a normal breaststroke stroke just dive deeper with your hands and kick three times. This will help you to kick faster. If you don’t kick fast enough you will start going up to the surface. This will also help you find your balance. Use your core muscles to keep a good horizontal direction while you do this drill.
Finally, what has helped me the most is putting a pull bouy between my legs and doing breaststroke kick like this. This is very useful because if you open your knees the pull bouy will fall off. You have no option but to kick in a narrow tube. You won’t be swimming like this during your normal breaststroke swim but sometimes it is good to exaggerate the movement to fix a mistake in your technique.
Just look at my kick before and after I tried this kick. now the challenge is to do that drill often until it becomes natural to do a narrow kick, even during a swim meet.

Have you ever wondered, during practice, what is the point of swimming all of these laps. To do repetitive boring drills, or pointless sets over and over again. Sometimes you don’t even get tired, but coach insists that it is the only way to get better. On this video I will explain why repetition is essential to improvement and in the next video I will explain why it might be bad for you.
All of our muscles are moved by nerves. These nerves carry mini electric charges that make our body move and therefore swim. These nerves are connected to your spine and brain. So if the brain processes all the information, why is it so difficult to change your swimming technique once you understand how you are supposed to move. Your brain gets it, but your muscles don’t seem to get it. The answer is Neural Pathways. These are like the roads for those electric charges of the nerves. The first time you do something new, these pathways are like dirt roads. The brain struggles to send the signals to your muscles in time and with the right amount of force. The more you do that activity, the bigger the roads get, until they are like highways and then like high speed trains and your brain has no problem sending the signals on time, and suddenly it all feels easy.
The same is true when you swim, with every lap you are making those neural pathways a bigger smoother lane. This is called muscle memory. The problem is that if you miss practice a few times, those pathways will not be as smooth, until you start doing laps again. Think about that the next time you get bored during practice, you are just exercising the memory of the muscle.
In the next video I will tell you why you won’t get better every time you practice. In fact, sometimes practice will make you worse. Stay tuned.

Today’s tip is called PDF, short for push down - float. As we saw on the second episode of freestyle Friday a lot of swimmers have a problem with the position of their torso. Our chest floats because of our lungs and our legs naturally sink, so it is common to see people swim like this. It takes a lot of unnecessary effort to swim like this.
To fix it, try this. If we want to learn how to push our chest down and and let our hips float let’s do this. Kick with a kick board but go down as if there was a bug floating there and you wanted to go under it. This is a lot harder than just pushing your chest down because with a kick board you will have double floatability on the upper part of your body, but that is the exercise. If it’s too hard do it with a pull buoy or even an empty water bottle. Remember how it feel to press down and try it while you swim. It should put your body in a better position.

Today’s tip is called chest breathing. See beginners tend to turn their heads too far and it causes all sorts of problems as we saw on episode one of freestyle friday. But advanced swimmers don’t use their neck muscles to take a breathe. and that is the secret.
So if you do use your neck to breathe, try this. Picture a mouth on your chest that needs to take a breath. In reality you will not have to rotate that much for a normal freestyle swimming breath, but remember that while doing these exercise it is helpful to exaggerate and then go back and tone it down while swimming. So exaggerate the rotation and without moving your neck rotate until your chest is out of the water and take a breath there. You can pause your arms while you do this. Then go back to normal freestyle and try rotating your chest to breathe instead of your neck.

This video debunks common misconceptions about posture and provides simple solutions to improve it. Contrary to popular belief, maintaining a perfectly straight posture all the time is not healthy or sustainable. Additionally, the "texting posture" is not the cause of chronic pain in the neck and back, according to scientific data. Instead, spending too much time in the same posture can lead to acute and chronic pain. The video reveals that movement is essential to a healthy spine and presents a 4-minute routine to improve posture and decrease pain. It also discusses the relationship between posture and mental health, and the benefits of better posture, including improved breathing, mood, and reverse aging. Ultimately, the video encourages viewers to move more and be more childlike to slow down aging, improve focus, insomnia, and obesity.
