I tried these suggestions today with spectacular results. I've never had formal swim training since 5 y/o at the Y, so I've probably developed some bad form over the years. My shoulders don't have much space under the acromion, and the way I've been swimming freestyle, if I try to go hard I get a lot of pain in my shoulders.
Today I tried doing each stroke slowly, like a 3 count for each stroke. I whipped my hip around while stretching forward, it reminds me of striking in martial arts. Striking starts from the foot, rotates up through the hip, then to the shoulder, and ends with extension of the arm. So I focused on each portion of the movement while swimming. I did it slowly, back and forth a few times, and my shoulder impingement didn't seem to be activated.
So then I tried going fast, and still had no shoulder pain. Then I went really fast, faster than I've ever stroked before. It was amazing! And it was much easier than trying to go fast the way I was doing it before, and also easier to breathe. Hours later my shoulders still feel fine.

If I might make a constructively meant comment - the information quality of the video is absolutely superb, but the video starts too quickly and is too intense - hard to pay attention at all times (at least I had to replay some bits, despite it being very understandable, but too dense)

I am having the exact issue right now. I know my arm rotation is too fast thus I am learning to give it a pause. However my hip and kick dont coordinate with my arm swing to resemble Belakes demo. This video explains what I am doing wrong. I will try these tips to get to the right place.

Is he deliberately mispronouncing Aaron or what. I thought these videos were some kind of joke because of that but they clearly are technically correct so I'm not sure what's going on with the choice of names being mispronounced on purpose but it's weird.

This is a great video but like so many videos from the US it runs far too fast and the speaker is racing through the material so the message is lost.

When you say activate the hips or activate the glutes do you mean tense these muscles up when swimming? Thanks for helping.
