  1. Greetings from Ireland. Been swimming for 30 years now but have only really learnt to swim efficiently the last 5 years. All those years thinking I was a good swimmer until a decent swimming instructor showed me the error of my ways. It's very, very hard to learn to swim correctly. You have to think about every stroke and it takes more energy than an inefficient technique because when you swim correctly, you are using more muscle groups and therefore require more oxygen.

  2. After inhaling turn the face on the water before your hand pass your face as the voice on the video says (remember not to wait for you to see your hand passing your eyes), but not in the way shown by the swimmer on the video: he is often a bit late with that, I wonder because he has to exaggerate the movement for the footage.

  3. When I turn my head to breathe, I've noticed that my front arm starts sinking quicker, well before my recovery arm enters the water for the next stroke. My legs might be sinking too; I'm not sure. Any idea why this happens? Maybe I'm lifting my head rather than just rotating it like in the video?
