Freestyle reflection

Hello people, and welcome back to my blog about swimming. In this post we are going to be discussing about all the stuff we've learned over the past few (some other freestyle posts not exactly “past few”, since a few of the posts about freestyle were just posted way back a few weeks ago before I remembered that I forgot to do the rest of the freestyle posts), it really just serves as a “reflection”, since there is nothing else left to discuss about freestyle, except to look back at the things we've talked about, and how you guys can use these skills in swimming freestyle. So without further ado, let's just get straight to it!

Since this is pretty much just a reflection about all the things we've learned about freestyle this week (come to think of it, there were actually some posts about the freestyle that were posted way back a few weeks ago, but those count as well), I'm very and truly sorry to say this, but (takes in deep breath, exhales) unfortunately for you (the reader, and possibly me), I'm not going to supply you with a video for you to use in combination with today's post. Now don't go raging at me, because I have my own reasons for not providing you with a video for today's post.

The reason I didn't put a video link in this post (and as I have said, I truly apologize for that, I'm not trying to do this on purpose (OK, I AM doing this on purpose, but for a good reason, that's what I'm trying to say. I'm not trying to get you guys flying off the handle for not posting a video link on this post, that's what I meant), I have my own reasons to do this) was mainly because after all I've taught you in this “week's” worth of posts about freestyle and the tons of videos to help support the advice I've given to you, this is a reflection and honestly, it'd be a bit crazy if I went and put a link for a video that showed you guys a brief overview of the freestyle. No. I've already done that; that's old.

I also couldn't post multiple video links about the stuff we've learned in the freestyle (that basically means I'm going to have to paste EVERY SINGLE video in different links, and as you know, that's a bit “unprofessional” and not my style). So briefly in conclusion, I'm very sorry for not posting a video link for you to watch alongside the post, because that would be insensible and unnecessary (for those of you who don't watch my videos, take this lightly/don't accept it as an offense at all because you've never watched any of my videos anyway). So anyway, let's get straight down to it!

First, we had a brief “interlude” of what the freestyle was like. We also learned some basic movements to execute the freestyle and a few tips to help you swim freestyle faster. Then we learned about the breathing technique for the freestyle; how high you should tilt your head after completing a hand strike, and the recommended amount of hand strikes you should do before you take a breath. Then we learned about the right and monotonous methods to execute the freestyle hand and leg movement. Then for the “finale” (if that's the right word), we learned about the general tips in order to maximize the speed of your freestyle swimming speed.


Well ladies and gentlemen, that wraps up everything that we've learned this week (or at least, everything we've learned this week and the weeks before when I did the long-lost posts about freestyle), I hope that it was somehow useful to you. Pray for me to come up with more ideas on tips for swimming, because right now I've got to admit, I'm stuck. So anyway, see you until the next post! Bye!
