Sempre nadei torto e sem entender por quê, até fazer este curso. A forma como cada passo da braçada é explicado por escrito, com atenção ao posicionamento da mão e do cotovelo, mudou completamente minha percepção da técnica dentro d'água.

Endlich verstehe ich die Kraultechnik.
Zawsze pływałam byle jak, głównie żabką, bo kraul wydawał mi się zbyt skomplikowany do samodzielnej nauki. Ten kurs rozbija technikę na małe kroki opisane bardzo przystępnym językiem, więc mogłam czytać fragment, iść na basen i od razu to sprawdzać. Najbardziej pomógł mi opis rotacji tułowia, bo wcześniej w ogóle nie wiedziałam, że to ma znaczenie. Po kilku tygodniach faktycznie płynę szybciej i mniej się męczę. Polecam każdemu dorosłemu, który uczy się kraula od zera.
Aos quarenta anos finalmente entendi a mecânica da respiração lateral no crawl e parei de engolir água.
Отличный разбор техники кроля по шагам — особенно понравилось объяснение работы ног, которое раньше вообще не укладывалось в голове.
Comecei a nadar já adulto e sempre me sentia meio perdido na piscina. Esse curso explica a mecânica da braçada de crawl passo a passo de um jeito que faz sentido até para quem nunca teve aula nenhuma, e o ritmo das lições é bem gradual.
Penjelasan tertulis tentang teknik gaya bebas ini sangat detail, saya jadi paham kenapa napas saya selalu habis di tengah kolam.
ফ্রন্ট ক্রল স্ট্রোকের প্রতিটি ধাপ এত পরিষ্কারভাবে লেখা যে পুলে নেমেই পার্থক্যটা বুঝতে পারলাম।
Le spiegazioni scritte sulla bracciata dello stile libero sono chiarissime, anche se avrei apprezzato qualche video in più per vedere il movimento dal vivo.
شرح رائع لتقنية السباحة الحرة!
I've always been a decent doggy-paddler but never had proper front crawl technique until this course. The step-by-step written breakdowns of the arm pull and body rotation finally made the mechanics click for me, something years of just watching YouTube clips never did. I liked that each lesson built on the last instead of throwing everything at once, so my stroke actually felt different by the end of the second week. My breathing timing is still a work in progress but at least now I understand what I'm supposed to be fixing. Would genuinely go back and reread sections before my next pool session.
Finally nailed my front crawl technique.
Las instrucciones escritas sobre la mecánica del crol son tan detalladas que por primera vez entendí qué estaba haciendo mal con la rotación del cuerpo.
Наконец-то разобралась в технике гребка кролем благодаря пошаговым письменным инструкциям — раньше просто плюхалась в воде без понимания механики.
मुझे तैराकी में हमेशा से डर लगता था लेकिन इस कोर्स ने फ्रंट क्रॉल के हर स्टेप को इतनी आसानी से समझाया कि पूल में जाकर तुरंत फर्क महसूस हुआ। लिखित निर्देश इतने स्पष्ट हैं कि बार-बार पढ़कर याद रखना आसान हो गया। सांस लेने की टाइमिंग वाला हिस्सा खासतौर पर मददगार रहा।
Solid breakdown of the front crawl mechanics, especially the section on hand entry and catch which I'd never really understood before. The pacing is good for an adult beginner, though I found myself wishing there were a couple more diagrams alongside the text.
O curso explica muito bem a técnica do crawl, principalmente a parte da respiração lateral que sempre foi meu ponto fraco. Só senti falta de mais fotos ilustrando cada etapa, já que o texto sozinho às vezes exige um pouco de imaginação.
As explicações passo a passo sobre a mecânica da braçada de crawl são tão claras que finalmente entendi por que eu vivia me cansando tão rápido na piscina.
성인이 되어서 수영을 처음 배우는 거라 걱정이 많았는데, 이 강좌는 자유형 팔동작을 단계별로 아주 친절하게 글로 설명해줘서 이해가 훨씬 빨랐습니다. 특히 손이 물에 들어가는 각도와 몸의 롤링 타이밍을 따로 떼어 설명해준 부분이 큰 도움이 됐어요. 예전에는 그냥 팔을 휘젓기만 했는데 이제는 왜 그렇게 움직여야 하는지 이해가 됩니다. 글로만 되어 있어서 처음엔 좀 낯설었지만 읽고 나서 바로 풀장에서 시도해보니 확실히 자세가 좋아졌어요. 성인 초보자에게 정말 추천할 만한 구성입니다.
Mi sono iscritto da adulto senza saper nuotare un solo metro a stile libero, convinto che fosse troppo tardi per imparare. Le istruzioni scritte passo dopo passo mi hanno smentito alla grande, perché spiegano la bracciata in modo così chiaro che riesco a visualizzarla prima ancora di entrare in acqua. La sezione sulla respirazione laterale e sul rollio del corpo è stata la svolta, finalmente non bevo più mezza piscina a ogni vasca. Apprezzo tanto che tutto parta davvero da zero, senza dare nulla per scontato. Ora attraverso la vasca con una scioltezza che non credevo possibile. Consigliatissimo agli adulti come me.
