This was an excellent video for me!!
Thank you π
Wow Iβve been doing Early Vertical Forearm without knowing it was a thing!
Neat! Iβm glad that swimming freestyle with little T-rex arms is a thing that feels unnatural to me.
My usual target is to swim mindlessly up and down the poolπ. Inverse in the water, concentrate on the tecnique, get into the flow and so on. Your great videos I am watching upfront for getting even more motivated. ππ»
Hi Mr Tsebati, in which of your video that you mention about momentum is equal to mass x velocity
I have watch again all you video but I cannot find it
Thankyou
Fares – I'm 68 years old. One month ago I couldn't swim 1 lap (a 25 meter length of the pool). I started watching your videos: how to swim, how to breathe. Today, I just did 10 laps; well, with a 10 second catch my breath every 2 laps. Of all the exercise routines I have ever done, swimming is the exercise that makes me feel great when I get done. I never knew there was so much to learn about proper swimming. Thank you so much for creating these videos. It's a lot of work, but it is changing lives!
tks for advices Ksebati, It's great , I have improved a lot , greeeting from Brazil
I've been teaching swimming for over 20 years, one of the biggest mistakes I see with adults learning to swim is fighting the water. It comes from a misconception that they need to use their stroke to keep themselves at the surface, rather than using their own buoyancy and forward momentum. It is a hard habit to break, but once they get it, it's a game changer.
I have no clue as to how the concept of 'hip driven freestyle' came into being. It is mechanically/physically impossible for the hips to drive anything. At best, they serve as a universal joint that transfers energy from one end of the body to the other. No one seems to think it odd that the dolphin kick used in butterfly goes from the upper body to the feet, but don't understand how this stays the same with freestyle or back stroke. Without exception, those who believe in the 'hip driven' concept focus on the recover arm, and ignore the pulling arm. The shoulders do not rotate at the same time, but are independent of each other. The hips are fused bone all the way across so they have to rotate as one unit. Any slow motion video of freestyle, especially the 2 beat kick pattern, you will note that the low side arm, which is the pulling arm, starts the body rotation, the hips follow, then the recover arm finishes the rotation. With land based sports that use rotational energy, like throwing a ball or throwing a punch, the rotation starts at the feet, goes through the hips, and then through the shoulders and out the finger tips. This is a forward arm movement. In swimming, we are pulling. Without exception, you will note with the 2, 4, or 6 beat kick pattern, the pulling arm just starts to engage and then the front side kick happens. Makes no difference if you are doing the 50 meter spring or a 15000 meter swim, it is the same action. This rotation from shoulders/arms to feet also explains why the #1 kick is the power kick, and the 2, 3 are weaker. Energy transfers as a rotational crack the whip mechanism.
Breathing patterns are unique to different to all swimmers. For the Olympic men, they all swim gallop style, where you kind of porpoise, and an off beat arm pull, so kind of a quick 1, 2, then a slight pause and then repeat. The Women tend to swim on a 2, 2, 4 pattern, as in 2 strokes breath, 2 strokes breath, then 4 strokes breath. Some women breath and swim the gallop style. Ariarne Titmus swims the 2, 2, 4 pattern, Katie Ledecky swims the gallop style. Personally, I kind of think this is why Ariarne can beat Katie in the 200 and 400, but Katie wins anything 800 and above. More energy/oxygen burning efficiency. Haven't seen any one compare the 2 different styles, yet. Only exception to these breathing patterns are the men's 50 meter spring where they only take one breath for the distance. This also happens at the last 10 or so meters of any race, just for that tiny bit of extra speed to finish.
If you want to be persnickety about water density, it is 832 times more dense than air at sea level. 800 is close enough…..
Where should my legs be, when I swim? Should they be under water? Or just at the surface? Because when at the surface, I just end up splashing around a lot
little t-rex arms hahaha so true
"Like little T-Rex arms" π. Made my day.
So, my lower back has been killing me for the past month. It happens after training. Why does it hurt and how can I prevent it?
Good stuff. Which he would offer some drills
The one thing that Iβve taken from this video is that water is 800 times heavier than air.
You still have NOT ANSWERED MY QUESTION. I'm AUTISTIC WITH A SEVERE WATER PHOBIA TERRIFIED OF CHOKING ON WATER..
Is there any advice you can give?
Hypnotherapy?
I just have no idea.
Please help.
Andrew S Cullum.
how to improve kicking technique?
Flip turns and splashing. A lot of swimmers create a loud, large splash with their flip turn. Is that better than a quiet flip turn?
Don't fight the water, be one with the H2O and happy swimming π
This is great and all but I just wish I knew how many times more resistant water is than air
Waiting for you to say water is 800x denser than air is always the highlight of watching your videos π
What does my swimming taste like? I'm thinking with all my senses haha π
