How To Rotate In Freestyle

and freestyle we need to be rotating from side to side to swim efficiently let's take a look at how we can do this when we're swimming freestyle it is best to swim in the water not trying to saw on top of the water the reason we want to swim in the water is that this is where we are more neutrally buoyant if you try to swim on top of the water you will waste lots of energy and effort trying to keep yourself up instead of using their energy to drive yourself forward through the water the best and easiest way to swim in the water going forward as a post is swimming on top of the water going up and forward is to be rotated on your side each stroke this is why rotation and freestyle is so important to understand and get the feel of rotating when swimming freestyle you need to first change the way you think start visualizing your freestyle is swimming in the water and going through the water like a fish not flapping around on the surface trying to stay afloat at the same time as swimming freestyle let's take a look at how we rotate during freestyle if you are not used to rotating your body during freestyle then it may seem awkward when you first try to rotate more use the drive of your arm pulling back to rotate your body to the other side while your other arm reaches toward the end of the pull try to maintain the streamline body during your rotation pause and glide on the side until you have reached as far as you can out in front once you get used to this and become more fluid your pause and glide will morph into your reach which will not look much like a pause but instead a continuous side-to-side freestyle practice swimming freestyle slow and controlled focusing on your rotation once this becomes a habit you can speed it up and you will be faster than ever thanks for watching and make sure to subscribe to our channel to get our latest somehing tips to help make you a faster and better swimmer [Applause]
