On this series of videos we will simulate swimming movements and engage the same muscles we use while we swim each stroke. We won't have an intro or a long outro. That is because we want you to be able to play the video whenever you are ready and start the workout. The disadvantage of this method is that you don't have a strong warm up routine structured. So if you feel like you need to warm up beforehand you can use this video: https://youtu.be/tsneJbHM8IM

What Ian Thorpe did in 2000s changed the swimming coaches' style of training, competing and technique forever. Before him, most swimmers focused on taking as many strokes as possible.
After the Thorpe era, we trained and swam very differently.

Swimming is complex, it’s like creating a sculpture, The more attention you pay t details the better it will look. But the details have a ranking of importance. There are some things you need to focus on before getting caught up in less important details.
The following is a list of skills in order of importance, so you can focus on the important details first:
breathing patterns
head movement
arms movement under water
legs general movement
core muscles and stability
feet positions
gliding through the water in breaststroke and butterfly
rotation in freestyle and backstroke
arms’ movement above the surface
knee joints and movement of the hips
tight streamline
flip turns and transitions
underwater dolphin kicks and breast pullout.
For all the things above I would recommend learning them in freestyle first then backstroke, then breaststroke and lastly butterfly. Once you master all the numbers above on all four strokes you can move on to the next set of skills.
Starts (dives)
breakouts
swimming at different speeds
Correct technique at higher speeds
endurance
strength -swimming with equipment - dry-land - gym
hypoxic training
mental training
racing strategies
outside factors
we have done videos on almost all of these details, and we will do in the future the ones that are missing. So if you want to learn or teach swimming in the order we think should be taught, click on this playlist and watch them in order:

What is a spirit animal? Well in a dictionary this is how they describe it: "In certain spiritual traditions or cultures, spirit animal refers to a spirit which helps guide or protect a person on a journey and whose characteristics that person shares or embodies. It is also metaphor, often humorous, for someone or something a person relates to or admires."
Having said that here are the spirit animals for swimmers...
IM - Dolphin
Butterfly - Flying fish
Backstroke - Otter
Breaststroke - Frog
Sprinter - Swordfish
Distance swimmer - Whale

On this video we will go over some drills to improve your arms technique while you swim breaststroke.
The main problem I see that swimmers have in breaststroke is that they open their arms too wide. Some of the best swimmers in the world have incredibly narrow stroke in breaststroke. This makes their movements very efficient. So if you have a wide stroke, the first step is to work on making it more narrower.
One exercise that I have seen worked is putting a pool worm under your armpits. This will prevent you from bringing your arms too far back and will also give you float-ability. If you don’t have access to this toy you can try laying on the edge of the pool and doing this exercise. This will show you how far your arms should go.
Now to have a more efficient stroke you must perfect the glide movement. To practice this you can swim breaststroke with an exaggerated glide. Keeping the glide for about 2 or 3 seconds. It might feel uncomfortable but you should focus on keep moving forward and keeping a good body position. The tighter your body is the easier it will be to glide.
When focusing on specific body parts, we like reducing complexity to make it easier to fix. Try swimming breaststroke but only moving one arm. Keep the other arm in front of you as still as you can.
The next exercise is a bit more difficult but it is similar. This time keep one of your arms down by your body. Focus on doing a fast narrow stroke with the other arm.
Sometimes what messes up our stroke is the timing. To fix this we need more body coordination. Try doing breaststroke with flutter kick. Once you manage to do this, you will be able to focus on your stroke on a constant speed, without slowing down for the kick.
The arms in breaststroke are like the point of an arrow. They cut the water for the rest of your body, and for that you need to practice shooting them forward with speed. Try doing breaststroke arms with dolphin kick. This will help both of your strokes, butterfly and breaststroke. Remember to shoot with your arms forward and by timing it with a butterfly kick you will create the aggressive momentum you need for the stroke.
