Hola, creo que eres mejicano, porque he visto otros vídeos tuyos hace tiempo. ¿por qué no los haces también en español? ¡És tu idioma!. Y ¡es el segundo idioma más hablado en el mundo! Estoy seguro que tendrías muchas más visitas. por cierto, tus videos son muy buenos. Un saludo desde España.
Today I tried the backstroke,I heard the kick must be powerful and hips must be,strong when I swim I swam halfway and stop on 50 m ,I drank two times of water.
Why RU-vid suggested this to me, I don't know, but I am utterly mesmerized by this! I'm not a strong swimmer, but just seeing this video was inspirational! The technique is so graceful! Thank you for sharing your skill! You absolutely gave me some ideas to try to become better!
jade baboolal for me when I’m at I meet and I do a backstroke and It’s last 25 I’m scared to hit my arm hard at the end cause I always do so I slow down and that’s why I’m extremely slow 😁
это видео мне сейчас очень и очень вовремя, все в деталях разобрано и сжато , спасибо! на 0:27 - подводный пешеход, на заднем плане, очень интересный .)
You know what’s funny? A couple weeks ago at a swim meet I swam a 36.12 in the 50 back as my backstroke wasn’t so good at the time, I got some advice from one of my older teammates and the next day I swam a 1:11.70 in the 100 back so my splits were under 36.12. I was just missing technique
Si, efectivamente el dorso es la patada de delfín y hacer que las piernas puedan hacer el resto. ¿Cómo mejorar la parte aeróbica en las vueltas para poder hacer 6-7 patadas y no 3-4? Saludos
Great video and fantastic instructions! However, as an official, I need to point out that it is not allowed to "adjust the distance to the wall by continue kicking". The rules (SW 6.4 ) state that the turn must be initiated with a single or double arm pull immediately after turning vertical to the breast. This must be one continuous motion. You are not allowed to adjust the distance to the wall by kicking. Doing this will result in a DQ.
Thanks for your input, I understand the rule, but I don't understand why it only seems to be enforced at a highschool level but at the Olympics everyone does flutter kicks after they turn and no one is disqualified. Maybe you can clarify what's going on.
@@SkillsNT I wish I could give you a straight answer to this question, but the truth is I can't. As you point out, this behaviour can be observed during pretty much every major swimming event, but the rule is rarely enforced. It's as if swimmers tip-toe the rule. It's not just backstroke - check any major event and you'll see a bunch of breaststrokers make a first dolphin kick as they dive in, hidden by the stream of bubbles, and then a second one during the pull-out. They all do that to gain an advantage. But no backstrokers turn too early to gain an advantage. Sadly, I suspect that reporting a high profile swimmer sometimes is a bit intimidating for a judge, even though the referee has pointed out during the briefing that he wants the inspector of turns and timekeepers to make sure they enforce this rule. But that's my personal opinion. In my opinion, the rule (SW 6.4) should be changed for one simple reason: If you rotate your body past vertical towards your breast too early you lose speed by only being able to kick, so you don't gain anything from turning too early. I want to make ONE more point. The difficulty of sensing/gauging the distance to the wall is typically somewhat more difficult in a race situation than during training. This highlights the need to train at race speed sometimes. And when I say race speed I mean ALL OUT! I loved this video and I am a big fan of all of your content. The focus on race speed in this video made it stand out even more. 🤘
Any tips on preventing slipping during the back start? We don't use the ledges in amateur races, and plenty of swimmers are struggling with slippery pool surfaces.
This is what I struggled with in the past and if there are no good sticky pads for the electronic touch then I don’t even do the backstroke start. I just go underwater and push off
I'm a backstroke swimmer and watching this will definitely help me improve because my rotations always let me down but with these drills it will definitely become better Thank you!!
Just got home from a big 50m pool meet, my 50 backstroke didnt go as well as i hoped and i've been going through the race like a hundred times.... I really appreciate you guys making videos for us younger swimmers. Now i know what i need to improve and work on
I’m a recreational swimmer & find the backstroke exhausting but exhilarating. I’ve certainly learnt some tips that I will put into practice today. Thank you for your content 🤩
I've been following you guys for a few years now, and this is one of the best instructional backstroke videos on the entire internet. Your content keeps getting better and better. Keep up the great work!
Those dolphin kicks are so pleasant to watch! I reckon the sharp-angled breakout is the reason why I keep having a bad start. As a heavily short-sighted person, it is quite hard to judge if I'm close to the water surface or not yet. Will keep practising. Thanks for the great and very educative video as always!
Well, perhaps only I would notice this and comment on it, and it might be worth another video eventually.... There are a number of subtle differences between the flutter kick used in freestyle, and in the backstroke. It seems to me that there is much less flexing at the hips, and more flexing at the knees. This would be because you are on your back rather than on your front, so you can drop your heel deeper into the water to get that 'most efficient' angle for your foot/oar to provide thrust than you can on freestyle since you don't want to lift your heel out of the water. Too much flex at the hip creates huge amounts of drag, especially when compared how much drag your heel and lower leg would make. Also, with my side stroke it is easy to observe other swimmers... For reasons not totally understood by me, many who have problems with plantar flexibility in freestyle, they all have much less of a problem with that when doing the back stroke flutter kick....
I'm obsessed with this video because I'm trying to master backstroke (which I swam back in high school). I'm a bit rusty though. Currently, I'm at at 1:40 so I have a ways to go to break 1:00. I'm also 5'8 and could gain some strength. Can you shed light on how height and BMI affect performance? Also, please come to the east coast! New York! :-D
Great video as usual, but do you have an explanation for: Why it is weigh more difficult and exhausting to do the flutter kicks on the back than doing it on the front crawl? BTW, you make ur vids in the same sequence that I think, and need.😉
Great technique! I was a backstroker myself ( 200m in 2m 14 seconds as a 14 year old ) and I can say your style is flawless. Only thing that I would change on yours is swimming a little bit less powerful and doing instead a little bit faster rotations :) But waaw, impressive!
As a teenage, i used to do 28" in 50m backstroke with a teeeeeeerrible start and underwater... I think i did some miracle in the swimming part. Lol... Amazing video as usual. Thnx ,🇧🇷
Renan Faraon e eu que assisto os vídeos dele e nem sei nadar kkkkkkk nem piscina acessível aqui tem. Eu só assisto para quando chegar numa piscina não morrer afogado e prq ele é gostoso. Somente kkkk 🇧🇷
Hi, this is Ed Accura , co-founder of the Black Swimming Association and producer of the film documentary A Film Called Blacks Can’t Swim. I personally believe that Black Youth Culture could be what breaks the cycle of the generation-long issue with a disproportionate amount of black people NOT swimming I would like to hear your views and comments on the 2 info videos I WON’T SWIM and THINK ABOUT IT. Let's change the narrative. I appreciate your support.
Thank you. I really enjoy your video. I have been trying to teach myself to swim for a few years now, and backstroke is the hardest to pull for me. But this vid has helped tremendously.
I have problem with backstroke underwaters and flip turns because I have to exhale a lot of air so that the water doesn’t get into my nose but it causes me to barely stay underwater because I run out of air in a few seconds Can someone tell me how to fix this?
the guy does 24 in 50 freestyle, but on 100 backstroke doensnt brake a minute. I was 17 when i broke 1 minute in my 100 backstroke. now im 22, and i want to get back to the sport (quit at 18) and didnt train for those years, what can i expect coming back, and should i continue with my main stroke (backstorke)?
Coming back to this one again, 2 years later.... I find it interesting that you link the pulling arm to the front side kick/power kick on the opposite side. With freestyle, it is the opposite way, which you do mention on your Arrow freestyle video, where the power kick links to the pulling arm, and not the recover arm. This is why I feel that the shoulders drive the hip and foot rotation, and not the other way around. Hips act more as a universal joint to transfer energy from one end of the body to the other. When standing on the ground, that is your anchor for land based sports that use rotational energy. The only anchor you have in the water is your pulling arm. 2 beat freestyle shows this pretty clearly. There is a 6/6 drill for freestyle, while on your side, 6 kicks, then a quick snap roll to the other side and 6 more kicks. If the hips drive the shoulder rotation, how come the shoulders, specifically low side, which is the pulling arm, rotates up slightly before the hips rotate?
Pls help me my tournament os held after 4days in 25m my time is 20sec i want my time decrease and less in 15sec my event is 50 and 100m back and 200m freestyle
I still do 36secs in backstroke i watched the video but my backstroke still sucks and still im feeling like a piece of shit , i dont know how to fix this mess :/
Can anyone tell me what is that movement called when he enters the pool. The arms are straight while legs flip until he starts swimming the backstroke, Thanks
i think am puting my head to far back water is coming over my face somethimes into my nose your heads not got lot water coming over into your face need to just look up and need to rowstated thanks thing i got better head looks thats my psroblem thanks.
To add to my previous comment, I have applied the 'Arrow' freestyle technique to my back stroke, swimming it with a 2 beat kick rather than the 6 beat kick. It feels like when in full stroke and kick that my timing isn't correct. Just have to practice the Arrow style a lot more so I can feel it without thinking...
