  1. Hello I’m from India and I’ll be trying this soon hope it works out for me because I always have problem
    breathing naturally and please make a video on floating .Thank you

  2. I am 40 year old and last year only I had learnt swimming a little bit.. my problem is that I am sinking quite low in water….when I turn my head sideways so as to breathe it is still inside water and I have to turn a bit more to breathe and as a result of breaks my momentum… Moreover I get tired too easily,, I can just swim 20 m at a stretch.. please advise..

  3. I find this super easy to do in the pool but it's significantly harder in open water. Not being able to see through the water makes it different for me-any suggestions? (I don't do much open water training because I live where it's cold!)

  4. the slow motion demonstration at the 1:00 mark – there is way too much exhale at the last second as the face is coming out of the water – you can see the splash created by it – you should be done exhaling by the time you are taking a breath stroke again

  5. Now that the season of duathlons and triathlons is starting, will you make a race news show as GCN is doing? Like so much your videos, keep going like this, you're doing great!

  6. I think this video clearly shows the 'bow wave' your head creates and into which you should be taking your breath. A shame it was not mentioned, but a good shot all the same 🙂 thx.

  7. If your local swimming pool is closed for the winter, I guess you could still do a simplified version of the "sinking mushroom" in your bathtub for now

  8. I think 1 arm drill is perhaps the best single drill for freestyle. It helps with so many things – breathing, hip position and rotation, catch, kicking… I think Andy Potts has said it's the only drill he uses!

  9. I am lucky enough to be on vacation right now and (aiming to switch from running to triathlon) did my first open water swim in about twenty years. During the swim it felt great and it seemed like the salt water was helping me to stay in a better body position. However, at the end of the (500m) swim I did feel nauseous and had trouble finding my balance when exiting the water. Never experienced that in a pool before. Any ideas what that might be?
