1
on this video I’ll show you set of exercises that take around 20 to 30 minutes and will help you start swimming like this.
2
By the end of the video you’ll know how to do at least one stroke that looks and feels like these ones.
3
This video has 5 parts: This 100 meters freestyle swimming demonstration.
4
5 key points of the theory of this freestyle swimming technique.
5
5 Common problems when trying to swim like this.
6
Exercises to help you swim smoother in 5 steps.
7
A Giveaway.
8
Theory Basics There are many ways to swim freestyle or front crawl.
9
This way is efficient and moderately fast.
10
From now on we will call it arrow freestyle.
11
The key of the technique is that there are not a lot of extra movements, the only movements there are, are optimized to help you move forward.
12
I did a total of 50 strokes in 100 meters.
13
It’s almost catch up swim.
14
(Catch up is a popular drill used by coaches to help swimmers glide and make their body longer.) The kick is a 2 beat kick.
15
Which means 1 kick per stroke.
16
This helps save up energy since the legs have big muscles that use a lot of energy and oxygen.
17
Advantages and disadvantages of the arrow freestyle technique: This is by no means the fastest way to swim but when you perfect it, it can be pretty fast.
18
Once you start swimming and practicing with this arrow freestyle technique you can build up a lot of endurance and you’ll be able to swim long distances at a constant pace.
19
That is why this technique is often used by open water swimmers and long distance pool swimmers in the middle part of their swim.
20
It may seem easy to swim like this but it does take effort, specially if you are not used to it.
21
Pros It can be pretty fast .
22
Build up endurance.
23
Constant pace over long distances.
24
Cons: - Not the fastest Not easy takes time and effort 5 Key points: The legs need to be synchronized with the arms.
25
You kick down with your right leg at the same time that your right arm is pulling.
26
The body needs to be as horizontal as possible.
27
Your legs need to be very straight.
28
Your breathing needs to be quick.
29
Breathe faster than me for optimal results.
30
Your arm should always wait for the opposite arm to almost finish before it starts moving.
31
Specially when you are breathing.
32
Since your arms are producing most of the forward movement, they should be very efficient- meaning: high elbow (vertical forearm as soon as possible), using the rotation to pull with bigger muscles and having barbie hands.
33
Common problems You should expect 5 things to be your main obstacles: Legs kicking fast instead of 2 beat kick.
34
Splashing water, instead of smooth swimming.
35
Not enough glide.
36
Balancing problems (difficulty maintaining a horizontal position).
37
Kick and pull not synchronized.
38
Exercises to help you fix them One stroke at a time.
39
If I told you to swim at this pace with this technique and you have never done it, you would probably think that I am asking too much.
40
But if instead I asked you to spend 20 to 30 minutes trying to do just one stroke that looked and felt like this, you’d probably be up for the challenge.
41
So let’s do that.
42
One arrow stroke.
43
Why only one stroke?
44
Many coaches try to correct technique while swimmers are at full speed swimming many laps.
45
This is probably the worst time to try and correct technique since you are tired, focused on other things and probably in autopilot.
46
At least in the beginning of changing your technique or trying out a new one, we believe that you need to slow things down and break things into manageable pieces.
47
Then build your technique while you put together those small pieces.
48
What does it take?
49
This arrow freestyle looks easy but you’ll actually need to master 5 things.
50
And you can improve 4 out of those 5 things in just 20 to 30 minutes with the exercises I am about to show you.
51
1 - Balance You need your body to be horizontal.
52
You need your legs not to sink.
53
This is a bit easier if you are moving, kind of like riding a bicycle.
54
Practice this: push off and stay still.
55
Keep gliding with that horizontal balance by pushing your chest down and having a tight core and tight legs.
56
2- Mobility This is unfortunately the one that you won’t be able to fix quickly.
57
In order to put your forearm like this you need to be able to move your shoulder like this and like this.
58
Stop this video and try to put your arms like this.
59
If you can’t you’ll need to do these stretches daily for a few weeks.
60
3- Control We naturally have a tendency to move our legs fast in order to move faster.
61
But for this technique you need to control that tendency.
62
You need very straight knees and pointing toes.
63
You only bend them when you kick down once every stroke, and you never stop the plantar flexion.
64
This is relatively easy to correct.
65
To force yourself to stop kicking like crazy put on a pullbouy between your feet, or a kickboard or wrap a stretch band around your ankles.
66
Anything that stops you from kicking.
67
And swim 4 x 25 like this.
68
4- Listenning A good hand entry should sound like this… one kick per stroke sound likes this … If you hear this instead … it means that you are doing something wrong.
69
Find out what it is and do 4 to 8 x 25 listening carefully to try and swim smoother.
70
Then listen to your sense of touch.
71
We have a lot of nerve ending in our skin, use them by feeling how the water moves around you.
72
Around your hands and around your torso.
73
Feel the pressure agains the top of your feet when you kick down.
74
Notice that feeling of knife through butter when you have pointing toes.
75
Feel how the forearm uses leverage to move you foreword when it is perpendicular to your body.
76
Do 2 x 25 focusing on one part of the body: hands, forearms, torso, feet - for a total of 8 x 25.
77
5- Coordination The final step is to coordinate the previous 4 steps.
78
One arrow freestyle stroke like this is all that we are going for right now, remember?
79
Push off as horizontal as possible and feel the water speeding up on your skin and then slowing down as you start to lose speed.
80
Before you stop moving pull water with your forearm trying to have it as perpendicular as possible and glide on the side of your torso.
81
At the same time that you are doing your powerful pull, your leg of the same side of your body should be kicking down quickly.
82
What’s next?
83
If you can coordinate at least one stroke and one kick on arrow freestyle, while the other side of your body doesn’t move, you’ve done the hard part.
84
The next time you practice you’ll try to go for two arrow strokes.
85
One on each side.
86
You may stop after each cycle.
87
Then you can start connecting them in a row.
88
After that your next challenge will be to learn when and how to breathe.
89
And if you want to swim 100 meters in 1:09 with this technique in a 25 meter pool, you’ll also need to learn underwater kicks and flip turns.

이 비디오로 말하기 연습을 해야 하는 이유는?

이 비디오에서는 수영 기술을 단계별로 배우는 것이 목표입니다. 물속에서의 동작을 배우는 것은 영어 말하기를 연습하는 것과 유사합니다. 유튜브 영어 공부를 통해 여러분은 기술적인 표현을 듣고 따라 말하는 능력을 키울 수 있습니다. 이 과정에서 'shadow speech' (그림자 말하기)를 활용하여 원어민의 발음과 억양을 쉽게 익힐 수 있습니다. 각 단계별 숙련도를 높이며 자연스럽게 말하기 실력을 향상시킬 수 있습니다.

문법 및 표현 구조 분석

영어 표현을 보다 효과적으로 이해하려면 문법적 구조와 자주 사용되는 표현을 알아야 합니다. 비디오에서 사용된 주요 구조는 다음과 같습니다:

  • “You will know how to…” - 미래 시제와 능력을 나타내는 표현으로, 학습의 확실성을 강조합니다.
  • “There are many ways to…” - ‘~하는 여러 가지 방법이 있다’라는 의미로, 다양한 선택지를 제시할 때 유용합니다.
  • “It may seem easy, but…” - 겉보기와 실질적 어려움의 대비를 보여주는 표현입니다. 이는 독자가 이해도를 높이는 데 도움을 줍니다.

이러한 문법 구조를 활용하여 자신의 생각을 영어로 표현해보는 연습을 하면 말하기 실력이 자연스럽게 향상됩니다.

일반적인 발음 함정

영상에서 자주 사용되는 단어 중 발음이 tricky한 부분이 있습니다. 예를 들어, "efficient"와 "technique"와 같은 단어는 비슷하게 발음되지 않으며, 특히 영어 발음 교정이 필요한 부분입니다. 'arrow freestyle'의 발음이나 'synchronize'와 같은 단어의 억양 또한 연습할 만한 요소입니다. 이러한 발음을 명확하게 하기 위해 일상 대화에서 자주 사용해보고, 비디오를 반복해서 듣고 따라 해보는 것이 좋습니다. 이렇게 하면 자신감을 가지고 영어를 말하는 데 크게 도움이 됩니다.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
