A refreshing take on "self-help swim-improvement," the Easy Freestyle DVD offers a practical progression of instructions, leading you through concrete steps towards minimizing energy waste before focusing on increasing fitness or power, and emphasizes minimizing drag in every aspect of the stroke,  including pulling, kicking and breathing. Providing a coordinated guide to stroke development, Easy Freestyle also offers enhanced presentation tools for learning each step and answering every question, including: clear links between every lesson and the full stroke; side-by-side comparisons of correct and incorrect techniques; graphic enhancements to clarify every critical position and movement path; and a review/practice segment for each lesson.

Great instruction to help rewire your freestyle
By PK from Framingham, MA on 3/2/2013
In triathlons, the swim has always been my slowest event, so I''m using this DVD to improve my stroke, increase my swim confidence, and hopefully gain some speed. It shows a step by step breakdown of the stroke to practice in increments.

Good Training Aid
By Ronnie G. from Corinth, Texas on 2/20/2013
I view this CD frequently---at least weekly prior to my first workout.  It''s a great way to refresh on fundamentals with emphasis on good techniques.  There are language ques in the DVD that serve as reminders of the proper swim techniques.

Learn to swim the Free style video
By Earl from New Orleans on 8/23/2010
This is my first swim video.  I selected it because all the others advertised seem to be about swimming faster.  This video starts with basics to help someone like me who can swim but never was taught to swim with proper techniques.  I look at the video the day before I swim, most of the time just before I leave home to go to the athletic club.  The instructions are terrific because you can do what you see on the video as instructed and see that it works.  The instructions are simple to understand.  Getting the technique right is up to the swimmer.
