As a beginner swimmer, you clearly put a lot of effort into this video. 😃 Very well put together instead of “here are some tips, good luck!” Like other channels. Well done!
So swimming is like gymnastics in that it has a lot to do with technique as opposed to brute power. I've been filming myself swim underwater, and my neck moves really weird when I breath. It's like I'm not turning it but whipping it to the side like a worm. My body overall does the same. It does a weird horizontal snake slithering motion. My arms also take way too long to pull underwater. It takes like 1 whole second from entry to exit per stroke, like it's going in slow motion, but I can feel that is where most of my propulsion is coming from. It feels like I'm dragging myself across sand.
Cuando empezaba a nadar esa era la técnica que más me acomodaba tanto en crol como en dorso, pero solo encontraba regaños de los entrenadores, decía que no ponía empeño en el batido de piernas, pero era como mas me acomodaba y como más rápido avanzaba, solo me sentía deslizar, además de que hacía menos brazadas, era como muy relajado, pero rápido
Aren't you a bit of an overglider? Just a bit? Or do you slow down your stroke rate to swim at a pace which you could hold much, much longer than for 100m?
I was a competitive swimmer before I went to college, and my 100m fastest was 56.30. Sadly had to stop cuz swimming honestly, is very time consuming, and at that time I was already in 11th grade preparing for my future dream college and career. So I stopped doing competitive swimming, but it was very fun, u get to meet lots of friends. After I stopped doing competitive I started doing scuba diving for fun, which (don’t trust money hungry dive shops) DOES actually require you to be a decent swimmer.
One of the main problems I see with swimmers who begin swimming later in life is that they have almost no concept of how to "catch" the water to begin the pull. Sculling techniques help w/that. But they are always amazed when I take 8 strokes per 25 yard length and easily swim faster than they do when they're taking somewhere between 12 and 16 strokes for the same distance. They are "spinning their wheels." And almost every time I see an older man who's begun later, they are almost swimming standing up! They drag their legs so far down in the water. They'll ask me how I keep my legs at the surface and I tell them you just have to flutter kick every so often and they will stay on the surface no problem.
This has become part of my daily work outs. I use it with my 3 main strokes, freestyle, backstroke and my side stroke. It gets me to focus on the pull and body rotation. I am not sure if my times have improved, but efficiency sure has.
I don’t do this I just stretch my arms and kick fast and move my arms fast and I just get good times idk I wanna learn a proper form cause 1:03 is good but ik with proper form I’ll be able to get 55
I’m a distance freestyle competitive swimmer and I can tell you that you might as well not even kick if you are to do a 2 beat kick like that. Quick small fast kicks are the way to go and if you are seeing whitewater behind you from your kick that is good. Trust me I’m an all state 500 yard freestyle swimmer and kick is something I’ve really struggled with
Swim smooth teaches to kick the opposite leg when you pull, i.e. you pull with your left arm and kick with your right leg. I found your technique way easier but I am confused now which is correct 🤷♂️ What’s your opinion on this?

That’s soooo cool, my time is a 1:02 when I’m going as fast as I can and it’s so cool that you can go that fast with being so smooth
Thanks a lot

Oh my God. I swim like this already!
O movimento dos braços está incorreto, o nadador flexiona os cotovelos na metade da puxada.

What? No tattoos?

Sorry I do not get the joke of relativity.
I do not get the t-shirt message. Please explain.
Grogeous form for that stroke.
good video… Thank you.
Looks a lot like total immersion, but this swimmer kicks arm and leg on the SAME side of the body together, rather than opposite in TI!!!
Dude, great video! I love the graphics and it really shows you spent a good amount of time on this
I don’t do this I just stretch my arms and kick fast and move my arms fast and I just get good times idk I wanna learn a proper form cause 1:03 is good but ik with proper form I’ll be able to get 55
One of the best tutorials here on YouTube. Structured, detailed and practical.

2 BEAT KICK IS A REALLY BAD HABIT DONT LISTEN TO HIM
He’s so good omg he’s super fast and smooth wow.

I do open water swimming 5km to 10km and this is exactly how long distance swimmers swim but normally your stroke rate would be faster.
Just watch at 3:39 lmfao 😂😂
