The swimmer makes it look "so" easy. Extremely skilled. I like the fact you allowed us to view his technique completely, for all that time. Plus the underwater camera shots are invaluable too. Thank you.
Yeah, you are correct. But for breathing he does not rotate the body more than for other strokes. I will make freestyle lesson, where will cover all freestyle technique elements
Awsome video and great a swimmer. There's just one thing I wanted to mention. I think the swimmer tends to elevate his fingertips up at the end of the reach phase. That will generate more drag. I hope he gets aware of it. I liked the video and the swimmer and I wish I could swim like he does.
Hey, guys you are doing a great job! Keep it up! I would love to see more videos from your channel, especially about breastroke, it always has been my weakest side...
Thank you so much for this an awesome video and agreat channel .......my question is what is the best rethm...... for breathing every third or five stroke such as Im abigener at free style and my goal to swim for long distances
Outstanding video I have enjoyed your series of videos on freestyle 😀do you have any videos on drills you can do to help you breathing? If you don't could you please do one😁
is the number of kicks is always 6? even for a 50m swimmer (3kicks-1strokes) and always synchronized (left arm - right leg/right arm - left leg). btw good job, I like your videos :)
Alex Vukovic number of kicks per stroke varies, it can be 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5. 50m swimmers do 4 or 5 kicks per stroke. Long distance swimmers do 1 or 2 kicks per stroke.
how would I look for obstacles from time to time in an optimal way? For the pool example that would be the approaching wall. How do you know it is approaching when facing down? But in my case it would be other people and boats while swimming in the ocean. My swimming feels disrupted because I am checking my surrounding quite often to not bump into other people.
thanks you bro, it's very helpful for me. I have a question, please reply me. Few days ago, I attempted one arm drill for breathing and this is what happened: my body straight , my head look forward, my arm straight, my body rotate enough but my legs is not often on the surface much although I straight my leg and knees slightly bent, is that normal?And when I put the other arm up the surface, my body start sink, is that normal too? why my body sink when I put arm on the sky?
Thanks for your sharing video. I try to learn swim the freestyle better but i always meet problem when i breath. I dont know breath out or in when i put the head above water
I struggle to keep my left hand straight on the surface of the water especially when I take a breath. While taking a breath my left hand including shoulder tends to go down under water which lands up giving me an ache on my left hand shoulder. How can I improve? Thanks
Many videos on freestyle swimming say to increase speed the and before pulling the water should be 15-30° from the body into the water is it a correct way?
notice the swimmer's hands? as if he's putting up a stop when they're extended outwards ----adds to resistance. Surprised to see such a good swimmer doing it. And during the relaxed phase of the arm stroke, it looks tense and not relaxed. nice summary though
It seems this swimmer is not very symmetric. His right (stronger) arm sculls in a straight line, while his left (weaker) arm sculls in a S-shape line. On 5:15, his left hand is a little far away from the middle line and then pulls inwards to near the middle line. Around 1:30, his left arm pull looks like a two-phase action, not as continuous as his right arm. It slows down (or even stops briefly) by the end of the catch, and then pushes backwards.
Happens to all beginners. The trick is finding the right time to open to the mouth and not to open too much. With practice you'll eventually get the rhythm.
That timing gets your head back in the correct position just as your opposite arm is initiating the catch. If the head is still up, the opposite shoulder is in a lower position, and it becomes impossible to execute an ideal high-elbow catch on that side. You end up with a good catch only on the non-breathing side. Also, good breath timing helps you to maintain a "front quadrant" stroke, which means that you always have at least one arm out front. This keeps the body long & streamlined, and it also makes it easier to keep the hips & legs elevated. If you focus on completing the breath before you let your opposite arm begin the pull, you'll feel a big difference.
