As an adult that learned how to swim only a few years ago, I have learned to appreciate the way Brenton can motivate me to improve as a swimmer and an athlete by explaining things in ways I can clearly understand, and also by having a lot of great guests on this podcast. The topics have included...Read full review »

One of my favorite podcasts, love interviews with all kinds of swimmers, from Olympians to folks teaching adults to swim for the first time! I also get a lot of tips on technique and training from this podcast—also recommend checking out videos from the host.

Ok
Too many adverts throughout the show for me

Great consistent message to focus on improving yourself.
jobu26 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/25/23
Brenton explains things so clearly and simply and covers such a broad range of topics. In every episode I get at least one takeaway that I can apply to my own training. 💎💎💎

Brenton’s information is incredibly easy to understand and follow. It has made a big difference to my swimming and meet times. Would definitely recommend to my fellow competitive swimmers🤩🥳😃

I love the variety of topics Brenton covers. He features real swimming stars, coaches and the regular average swimmer. The mix of speakers is always fabulous and I learn or/and get inspired to do more. As a coach, I often refer my swimmers to Brenton’s site for more information.

So I am a swimmer myself, and ever since I heard all this advice, I tried it at practice, then a big meet, it worked and my worst stroke became my best! This is one of my MOST RECOMMENDED swimming podcasts ever! 🏊‍♀️

Loadsa info and ideas shared - in short episodes - Thank you!

Brenton’s information is useful and easy to understand. Mastering the skills will be an ongoing challenge but with the videos to fall back on I’ve found it a must to watch over again.

Used to be good now it just seems to be more about random clients promoting his 5 day catch challenge.
Nim Chimsky via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 08/14/22
Brenton knows how to break it down ! Keeps it relavant for all levels.
Raytheswimmer via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/09/22
Since finding the ES podcast, my feel and flow has become a very satisfying outcome! I’m on a waiting list for a clinic with BF in Tas and wish to pass on in person how generous you are with your insights and positivity! The podcast mixed with some breath work makes for a very acceptable commute...Read full review »

As a newcomer to swimming I’m keen to learn as much as I can and this podcast has been an invaluable resource. Found my way here through the YouTube channel (which is also amazing), and enjoy the different range of guests on here. It’s motivating to hear stories of how other people have gone...Read full review »

I started swimming 6months ago from ditching it at around 11, YouTube has supported my swim training groups advice and formed the primary source of information, until I decided to type ‘swimming’ into the podcast and found this. Such great info and I’m able to listen on route to work, as I don’t...Read full review »

Brenton Ford offers something for everyone with Effortless Swimming, including tips on entry, catch and pull, breathing, body and head position, and how to get back into the water after spending some time out of the water.

Highly recommend, always interesting interviews and the subjects are always wide ranging (but linked back to swimming).

As a relatively new adult swimmer, I love listening to Brenton’s Effortless Swimming podcasts to learn how to become a better, faster swimmer.

e135790 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/05/20
It’s goon but it is a little hard to understand.
Preetha77 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 11/22/19
I have done over 10 open water swims in excess of 20 miles but almost always check something that Brenton is suggesting on his YouTube or Podcast channels. There’s always something to learn and I really like the functional way he delivers it. Highly recommended.

I love your youtube show, and great to find your podcast here. Its a valuable addition to my swimming practice.
tommyrru via Apple Podcasts · Kenya · 06/16/19
Gets right to the heart of how to swim better with solid information, well presented. Specifically, the difference in going from a 2-beat to a 4-beat kick brought a significant improvement in my times immediately. Tips on breathing technique have helped with big breakthroughs as well. My goal...Read full review »

It’s so exciting (and almost a relief) to find a podcast that covers such a broad range of subjects specific to swimming.

Fantastic to get access to a coach who understands what amateur swimmers want and need to know. Also, a great coach on pool deck. If you have a chance to go to one of his clinics, do it! Keeps things simple and you will get advice on things that really make a difference.

I love, love this podcast! The various subjects discussed are quality and useful, often motivational if you are in a slump.

These are brilliant podcasts. The small tips and mental imagery discussed in each episode will seriously aid your swimming. Today's gallop discussion (which I had just noticed at the Olympics) has led to a PB for me. I've been swimming for about a year and at 54 years old and having...Read full review »
