A comfortable and trusting relationship with water is the solid foundation for developing your swimming skill.

Swimming well seems difficult because we've adapted to life on dry land, where the laws of gravity apply. It is a great challlenge to move through a fluid environment, ruled by the laws of hydrodynamics. It is like fish being out of water.

Instinctively we lift our head, kick, splash and churn to struggle to the other side of the pool. This is very exhausting.

Traditional teaching with focus on pulling and kicking only makes these habits stronger. This leads to exhaustion and frustration.

This is the reason why we start with learning how to feel comfortable and safe in water.

Since water is appr. 900x denser than air, it si crucial to learn the body posture that creates the least resistance. Instincts tell us to keep our heads high where the air is. This causes our legs to sink down. We create more resistance and spend more energy.

Look at the photos below. I guess you know which posture is more suitable for efficient swimming.

As we master the optimal body posture, we will experience easier and faster swimming. You find your best body position by aligning your head and having your leading arm weightless until you feel the water supports you.

Have you ever been to your local swimming pool? Of course you have. You could see limbs churning, splashing, a lot of water moving around.

This is traditional instruction - swimmers have the “arms department” for pulling and the “legs department” for kicking. Trunk is just baggage we have to carry along.

Instead of your arms and legs, what if you could use your whole body for propulsion (same as fish do)? That's exactly what propulsion is all about - rolling from side to side and swimming with your whole body.

A baseball pitcher's power originates in the legs and gradually grows as it travels up to his pitching arm to catapult a ball with a monumental speed.

You can either inefficiently use your tiring arms and shoulders to do most of the work or you can learn how to engage your torso and use your arms and shoulders mainly to transmit this force to the water.

Look what it looks like when you master the Comfort-Posture-Propulsion Swimming Pyramid:

Clear, simple and succinct instructions teach you how to move through the water with ease, coordination and flow. Forget about struggle, pain and frustration.

In 6 brief videos I will show you how to master freestyle.

In the introductory video I will present the whole system. It consists of simple skill drills that will guide you step by step to the wholestroke freestyle. I will tell you what the critical elements are (remember  Comfort - Posture - Propulsion?) And of course I will also mention proper Breathing.

I will show you what is essential and what almost every swim coach ignores - Comfort in the Water. Very simple but crucial skills to build a foundation for your subsequent skills. If this is missing, swimming will always be a struggle.

Moving effortlessly through the water is not easy as you've already realized. I’ll show you exactly what works to allow you to swim with the least resistance,  keep hydrodynamic posture and float with ease. Literally you will become fishlike.

Power from your core - that's what's this lesson is about. I will teach you how to propel yourself with coordinated and integrated whole-body movement. Similar to pitchers or golfers - they do not only use their arms but their whole body.

When I talk to my swimming clients, breathing is their most common issue. And nothing is more important than having enough air. That is the reason why we will focus on proper breathing during all the drills in the previous videos. In this lesson I will teach you how to coordinate breathing with your body movement and to integrate breathing seamlessly with the stroke.

I will summarize all drills and skills and show you how to put it all together. It is important to go through the Mini-course at your own pace. Try to find your Flow Channel - the right balance between a challenge being too easy (leads to boredom) and too hard (leads to anxiety).

Maybe you don't. You have tried many times, spent a lot of time, money and energy and the result was just more frustration.

What if this can change? What if you can break the chain of struggle, pain and discomfort? And it does not have to cost a fortune. You don't have to hire a private coach you pay $100 per hour and see no result. You don't have to visit group lessons with other 15 swimmers where the only advice you get is:  just keep swimming, you're doing a great job.

What if you can follow clear, brief and plain instructions, at your own pace and step-by-step transform your swimming? That's exactly what The Freestyle Mini-Course is about.
