This video was a question from a viewer that we decided to make into a video. The question was: "How do I get my legs to stop sinking?" - in this video, Adam demonstrates just how much of an effect your head position can have on your body position. Even the slightest head raise can cause your legs to sink. This will increase drag on your body through the water and affect your ability to float across the top.

Have you ever wondered why swimmers breathe to the side when swimming front crawl (freestyle)? In this video, Adam explains why we want to breathe to the side to help our body position, reduce water resistance, and speed up our swimming. Breathing to the side will help you swim for longer as it is more efficient and causes less strain on your body during your swimming workout. Adam also talks about the difference in breathing every 2 or 3 strokes and which could work best for you. Or why you might want to do one or the other in certain scenarios, for example, sighting when outdoor swimming (open water) or swimming in a pool for exercise. This video is part of our swimming basics playlist, please take a look at our other videos to see if we can help you improve or learn swimming.
