How much do you think you rotate when swimming? 🤔
Is there such a thing as like a spin stroke. Rotating between this kind of a stroke and a back stroke? Like a windmilling?
I'm struggling with correcting and understanding about the freestyle body rotation lately, and I'm so thankful for this video, which made me learnt about being more aware of my rotation. Thank you!
Thank you for this class!
Finally, a swimming tutorial where the swimmer doesn't talk like a snail. Awesome!
Thanks for the video, but I have a couple questions. What do you mean by velocity gain? From what base line? I don’t understand the numbers. 50%, 60% of what? The opposite side? Are you 50% faster? Please help me to understand so I can make sense of the numbers. Also what device were you using for these measurements? Just curious.
I’ve been using a training snorkel as I’ve not yet mastered the side breathing without sucking water, so I’ve been very cognizant of my rotation, but like you said, it’s hard to know exactly what my rotation is. But I’m trying to be the same on both sides before I ditch the snorkel, sometime down the road. Currently just doing laps to get the stroke Rhythm and style down to where I don’t have to think too much. Thanks
Thank you. Heather🤗
Leaning on your arm terribly when breathing and you don't understand coupling motions. Poor technical advice. What does 'Bilatera'l actually mean please?
Hi, I tried your "couch to 5k" plan and it really works for me. Can you give us a similar plan for long distance swimming too.
Super interesting. What's the name of the tool?
Amazing!🖤
I thought that 50% was the average velocity gain … but if I have a look to numbers, the average of the shown numbers is way over that 50% ?
What happened with Fraser? Has he left GTN?
man, never thought I'd miss swimming so much…
Bring on that vaccine!!!
I want to swiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiim but our pools are closed since more than one month
The question we would like to know how would someone know if you are rotating at a certain degrees like 45 degrees when in reality you have to go by “feel” aka body awareness in the water. It will also depends on the body type of an individual. Heaps of youtube coaches will say rotate 30 degrees but do these coaches can even calculate like maths when they say these stuff to their students?
Nice Heather. And thanks! !
Very interesting video! I think I would have appreciated some visual examples to go along with the exercises you recommended with the fins. I’ll be sure to have a think about my rotation when I jump in the pool next :).
I like how they used stock footage of a coffee cupping session.
"if you've got some fins it's a good idea to pop them on right now" she said… so am sat up in bed with my fins on wondering if they might catch my quilt a bit too much if I rollover …?
Great video Heather! Interesting to watch slo-mo video of you in the water – looks like your upper torso might rotate more (the 70-75 deg on right) than your hips rotate – so what's the thinking on 'full body rotation' vs shoulder/hips?? Your shoulders might be rotating 70 degs, but hips only 40-45! And GTN fueled by coffee! 😉
Very interesting. The core is the motor. Used Tech Toc.
Oh Snap! Great to see you're enjoying the INCUS | NOVA guys.
From our research, it's normal to see Velocity Gain per stroke higher with a familiar stroke style, as you're more used to it.
Typically the net speed gain after breath strokes is lower because of the additional time taken in the recovery phase to breathe, where you'd slow slightly more in comparison to a normal stroke.
It takes time to build up an efficient stroke when breathing in an unfamiliar pattern, so keep working on it and you'll get there!
Really nice experiment – keep us posted on your progress Heather!
Was your pace constant on each 100? You say effort was, but that doesn't necessarily mean pace ended up the same. Ultimately, that's the most important piece. The reason I ask is because the assumption we seem to be making is that we should be perfectly balanced – x degrees rotation to both right and left. But you're obviously a very good swimmer yet you rotate very differently left and right. So is that assumption just wrong? Or do you have room to be even faster by evening out the rotation?
Could you elaborate on what velocity gain is? Couldn't that mean that you're just slowing down more on that arm, and then speeding back up?
There are technical calculations and add in the “rhythm “ affect.
For me I think of my bodies wetted surface. A sharper rotation reduced my flat water wetted surface. Less drag. Like mentioned, compare a flat bottom boat vs a V haul boat.
Less friction.
Again , my rhythm and breathing is key.
We’re all different in many aspects
I open water swim
Awesome video. Watched it twice and didn’t hear but did you mention where the vest came from, who sold it, where can one find it to be tested?
Good show!
Sprint Triathlon Training soon ? 😉
