Have you always wanted to swim freestyle (also known as front-crawl) but never managed to crack it? Struggled with breathing face down in the water or always felt like you're struggling and completely out of breath?

Don't worry you are not alone - most adults struggle with freestyle at first - there's lots of things to think about and coordinate which can make it very challenging. We need to break things down into different elements such as your breathing technique and your leg kick so you can practise one thing at a time before bringing them together and building up the stroke bit by bit.

We created the inspirational Swim Smooth Learn To Swim Freestyle Program to take you through Swim Smooth's unique method for teaching you to swim. The program comprises 12 easy to follow steps to developing your freestyle:

Through the program you can watch Paul teaching Sam to swim
freestyle - she's a complete beginner learning from scratch.

Learning to keep your head low to breathe is a critical skill
to stop your legs sinking.

Working on a good leg kick technique - a great energy saver.

See how the very best do it with brilliant footage of
elite swimmers such as Jono Van Hazel

Constructing the stroke slowly bit by bit.

Paul uses a little bit of Swim Smooth magic to get the
timing of your stroke right.

Sculling made easy - a key Swim Smooth drill for all levels of
swimmer to work on that all important "feel for the water".

Reach your goal like Sam - smooth relaxed freestyle!

The Learn To Swim Program is housed within the Guru coaching system
- available for you to watch and study any time, any place.

We've just released a video onto Youtube describing a new Swim Smooth visualisation to help improve your arm recovery over the surface of the water. If you have quite poor posture and feel your arms recover more around the side than over the top of the water when you swim then this for you!


The Press Stud Visualisation

The next time you swim, think about how your shoulder blade might be lifting away from your back as your shoulder rolls forwards. Imagine you have a Press-Stud (also known as a clothes popper or snap fastener) attached on the underside of your shoulder blade and on the other side to your spine:
As your arm recovers over the surface of the water, visualise retracting your shoulder blade down towards your spine by clipping the stud together. This will improve your posture and help the arm recover higher over the water.

Paul explains more:



A higher arm recovery means less chance of the hand catching on the surface and makes it less likely to cross the centre line in front of your head as you enter into the water. Your body roll should also be improved as the improved posture helps drive your rotation in your stroke along the long axis of your spine.

To get the most from the Press-Stud visualisation follow this simple training session in the Virtual Squad in The Guru (PRO subscription required):
