This Technique Beats Jan Frodeno 

Please make sure to do some kind of stretching and/or strength training, when u can’t swim. I did the mistake to do not so and now have back pain. It’s important to compensate sitting all day long, swimming is quite perfect for that

That would be pretty much world class level..

@@chmart those were paces I was holding in college. Wasn’t world class then

@@matthewbenton11 you're talking about distance swims and this video is about long distance triathlon. At that distance, this IS world class

Lay the crown of your head down, your chin lifts up creating space for a scoop of air. As you focus on your overall body balance/alignment and your stroke technique, an opening trough of air will be created. Also, rotate a bit trying to keep one goggle in the water. Scoot your lips over like Popeye the Sailor Man and you’ll be surprised that there is clean air to inhale. At least that has been my experience, hope that helps.

@@kimweidner7351 thank you! i will try. i do feel like whenever i scoot my lips i get some water into my mouth. but i'm probably too hectic because i think i'll get water in my mouth

I was thinking the same, but it looks like work for him well.

It does seem wide, it's confusing.

I always thought that too. I always had the image of crawling in the water as you'd do on the floor. We need clarification on that coach! :D!

When looking from the front we want 100-120° angle of the arm in the catch position. This what you see with elite freestylers. Some sprinters do go a bit deeper though arm can get to 130degrees

@@EffortlessSwimming first of all, thank you for taking time to answer. 👍 Does that mean we forget about pushing under our body?

Thanks Brenton, although I'm still not sure the person in this video uses the angle you usually recommend. Pretty confusing for us although it seems to work for him.

did you actually watch the video pal?

@@_bergflowsorry no i only read the title of the video hence my reaction

He’s definitely the goat

Casual.
