@wolfman62527 years ago Thanks, I am always searching for videos and swim technique tips that benefit myself and stroke. These are simply reminders but very important tips to make the swim more efficient and enjoyable. I have been swimming for a number of years but came to the sport later in life. Nothing seems natural so I am always working on technique. Swim Well. ... 3

@brigitt81494 years ago Most of the time our pool is too crowded for fins, so can you break down the steps even more - without those gadgets? Simply by using our bodies? Would be very nice. I appreciate you thinking about our neck and lower back, which are my problem areas. So many, many thanks for all your efforts ...

@easterneuropeaninmexico35544 years ago I get lower back pain when swimming and especially during breast stroke. Also, I get lower backache when walking and standing.

@brunellacarlberg62223 years ago When using a snorkel, I get water in my nose. I don't want to use a nose clip. I want to learn how to use it without one. Do you recommend exhaling through the mouth or through the nose? 1

@alij91677 years ago I enjoyed your video.thanks. but I don't understand why you are not so keen on engaging the core muscles. Or maybe I have misunderstood you.I think rotating and kicking from the core makes swimming a great core excercise. ...

@tejal26846 years ago I have neck herniated disc and one bulging disc in lower back. Trying to learn swimming specifically for rehabilitation. I just started back floating to relax the spine & also want to learn front float. Please suggest tips or video which will help me to relax and rehab the spine without hurting it. ...

@georgekhatiashvili66437 years ago Short version: How can former obese athlete turn back to the good swimming shape?
The Large version.
Thanks a lot for a brilliant explanation! Now my questions with short Bio. 44 year old former water polo player, obese (190cm/125kg). I turned back to the swimming pool after 20 year break in June 2016 because of herniation of my intervertebral discs C6 and L5 with indication for surgery. I began with 1km breaststroke and now I swim (3 times a week) 3-3.5km in 75 minutes session with very short break just to change swimming gears (power pads 500m+gearfree 500m, breaststroke fins 500m and all the same with snorkel). Now I forgot about my neck pain but lower back still hurts (maybe because of fins). Since March 2017 I'm trying to swim my favorite style – freestyle, but the legs are just going out of order, I thing now my "former outstanding technic is just horrible. :( IMHO the reason is spinal disorder... I really want to learn hi-elbow technic and the upper extremities are working well but the kicks are just piece of... the only way I found is fast kicks and in result after 50m I have painful cramps. What should I do for better recovery? ... 1
