Master crab-swimming skills with video guidance from a seasoned aquatic expert
Discover the secrets of mastering freestyle swimming with the help of professional swimmer and coach, Alexey Amosov. Based at Swim Joker, his swimming school offers courses for both children and adults, aiming to teach swimming and inspire students.
For beginners, learning freestyle can be challenging due to the lateral turn for breathing. However, Amosov suggests a simple solution: fully turning onto your back while breathing can help make inhalation easier and get used to the lateral turn. It's important to remember that breathing does not occur by lifting the head, but by a lateral turn.
One common mistake made by many beginners is lifting their head too high during the lateral turn, which can disrupt water balance. To avoid this, Alexey Amosov advises consciously exhaling through the nose while turning the head during freestyle swimming. This helps prevent water from entering the nose, ensuring a smoother and more efficient stroke.
Freestyle is one of the most technically demanding swimming styles, combining speed, endurance, and precise body control. For those interested in triathlons, the PDF library offered by Swim Joker provides training plans for marathons and getting started in cycling, allowing exploration of triathlon disciplines. However, it's important to note that these training plans do not replace specific triathlon training.
If you're looking for more guidance, the video guide on the health portal 24vita.de demonstrates the correct execution of the freestyle stroke and how to avoid common mistakes. Alexey Amosov's YouTube channel is also filled with numerous videos offering expert swimming tips.
