Learning how to swim freestyle

I like this website called Swim Smooth which provides resources to learn proper freestyle strokes, for swimmers at all levels.

Some of the resources are payable but there are quite a lot of good advice and tools which comes free, which is suitable for people like me because I do not have any intention to pay a single cent.

I like the free Mr Smooth Console whereby you can view Mr Smooth's 'ideal' stroke from any angle, at any speed, in amazing clarity.


If you are not confortable to download and install the file provided on the website, you can just view the freestyle strokes on the start page in flash format. Good enough for a beginner who are already comfortable with breast stroke and just started to learn freestyle.

I have seen many youtube video on learning how to swim freestyle and I think Mr Smooth Console is one of the better tool to help you learn and visualise freestyle, free of charge. Mr Smooth Console show you the proper strokes which is sometimes hard to learn and understand from your swimming teacher.

I have not tried the paid stuff, like DVD and if you have tried it, please let me know your review.

I constantly search for free and useful resources to improve on my training. Let me have your recommendations too, tell me via comments box below.
