When I started to learn how to swim, the swimming instructor told me the correct technique for freestyle is very relaxed and not making a lot of water splash. But the problem with this style is hands and legs muz co-ordinate which I cannot. So in the end I focus on frog style cuz when I kick my legs my arms is straight no action. When my arms pull up to take a breather, my legs is stagnant. It is like when I use arms I no use legs. When I use legs, my arms is juz set straight. I find out I can last more laps this way.
Of cuz free style experts may differ. Those into competitive swimming is of a different genre as they focus on speed and breath which is out of we leisure swimmer league IMO

you must imagine you are a fish
your upper should be move freely in the water as a small propeller
most the strength to move forward comes from your arms ,not from your leg
observe how a fish move fast in the water -

Hmm my problem is opposite.. my hand like helicopter.. swim a few strokes drink water liao

what i can remember what i did that time during lessons, was to hold on to the swimming board and just simply kick. Kick in the water, kick straight. Try to use this kicking method and holding on the swimming board to swim and to train ur legs for like 10 rounds or more until u are confident that ur kicks are ok and powerful.
Train hard, swim well !

try to kick twice everytime u pull once. dont concentrate on speed and power first, concentrate on the technique.Originally posted by icYwATeR:i need help ok...

as for the kicking with swimming board,i dont even have one -
In general frog style are more relaxed and easier to master and hence most introductory swimming course teaches that. Only in the middle or advanced course does free style and butterfly style come in as those style require co-ordination and strength and breath too.
For ppl who don't like to use both arms and legs at same time, try frog style when the major thrust forward is using your legs as compared to free style using your upper to propel forward and same time use legs to kick abit
Use frog style to idle... imagine idling can last you more laps in the swimming pool so as to earn back your money you pay to swim mah. -
There is something seriously wrong with your front crawl (freestyle actually means any stroke, but most chose front crawl as it is the fastest and most efficient stroke) as there is no way a breas.t-stroker can be faster than you (unless the other swimmer is a master of breas.t stroke).Originally posted by icYwATeR:i need help ok...

In front crawl, pulling is the most important part of the stroke. The kicking simply keeps the body afloat and streamline, and giving it some forward propeling motion. Keep both hands (with fingers closed) straight in front of you. Pull with one hand straight downwards (some advocate a small "S" but not essential) until it becomes a push near your thigh. The way to practice is to feel your thumb touches your thigh with your arm fully extended. Bring your hand forward until it touches your other hand which is straight in front. Only then do you pull with your other hand. Do not start pulling your other hand when your hand is still in the air (which most do). ONLY do so when they are together in front.
Also as in all strokes, do not blow out most of your air when your head is immersed in water. Blow bubbles out slowly. With air in your lungs, you will be more buoyant and more streamline. Only blow whatever is comfortable out when your head breaks the water to take in your next breath.
If you have any doubts, I hope I could be of assistance. -
my freestyle is awful too, so i stick to breaststroke.
slow but it's good to train chest area.
