Thanks for this! I got a basic Physics question: what is the real purpose of the leg kick? In my understanding, once the swimmer is in the air after leaving the blocks, he can no longer exert forces on his own center of mass, because there's nothing to push against (neglecting the air). As far as I can see, moving various limbs in the air phase can only affect the body's rotation / position while entering the water, is this correct?

Who is the swimmer?

I usually hold my breath the entire time, as I'm doing dolphins, after every turn. what's the correct way of breathing, on my 1st lap, I usually do 9 kicks and 6-7 on the other turns? should I slowly blow out bubbles, or hold my breath the entire time while I'm doing dolphins?

When you get tired. Side breath in fly fix the undulating problem. Continue front will make u slower.

Great example of the swivel...body stays long and straight and shoulders rotate side to side

great explanation , however not easy for an untrained or inexperienced athlete

great drill recommendation

I wanted to buy this equipment so please can you share the link

do you feel like you guys made changes that might have decreased her performance in paris? be honest

great advice

Cool

trc is bible for me from ROK 😊

This drill is even better with the stationary arm in the stretch position.

As a kid in the 80s, Disney's Little Mermaid had just come out, and all my friends and I spent all summer at a friend's pool trying to swim like Ariel! This lady has mastered the mermaid swim! It's also amazing to me, as someone who hasn't been in the swimming world since the early 2000s, how much we are able to learn through underwater video. Back when I was swimming laps for fitness, I remember ordering books on swimming technique from early-days Amazon. If I was lucky, there would be a diagram or illustration. Most of the time, I was trying to envision what the text was describing, and then trying to remember that during my next swim to try to integrate it into my technique. I can learn so much more from a few minutes of video than I could from hours of reading. It's really amazing to me how far swimming has come!

I observe that you are not exhaling underwater Please clarify that water does not shoots in your nose giving a sharp pain If not then i how you have managed it & give some practice tips & tricks for me as well cause while flip turn & underwater backstroke i need to exhale to prevent any entry of water Plz do reply in detail!!!! Tysm

thank you sir. just yesterday my 8 year old son had his swim meet and won 50 breast stroke trial but in 50 fly despite of having a clear lead he finished second towards the end. post race we sat near to a smaller pool near by and discussed the same with him that why his arms were delayed under water and asked him to use this same technique and he felt easy on his arms. sir correct me if im wrong in free and fly I suppose both have almost similar arm cycle , only diff is in fly we use both hands at the same time which is not the case in free, so your explanation would also be applicable in fly pull, isnt it??? last but not the least thank you again for this explanantion , now I am going to show this to my son. and he calls you gary sir by the way :) would appreceiate your reply.

А где этот самый flip turns?

New measurement learnt 😅

Is this yards or meters?. Is he doing a straight arm pull, or with a slight bent? For sprint should you pull a little wider that your shoulder width or narrower?

Interesting. Most other videos on high elbow catch say the main reason is for power and engagement of the core. This video provides much needed info.

Bruh he did the pull out for more than half the lane while I can only go like a inch

great one

Cheer~~~form an idea of the amount, number, or value of---assess.😊

Interesting video. I will start working on my ankle flexibility. Now I understand better why it is so important. Awesome!!

so lovely,Beautiful Girl 😍😘☺

Desde Argentina Muchisimas gracias !!! Uso todos tus explicaciones en mis entrenamientos... Saludos

On the recovery I can’t seem to get my arms to come out straight out of the water. I tried straightening them out, but is there something else I could be doing that’s causing that? Thank you!

06:39 that is past vertical sir!

My favorite drill is 2kick-1pull.

Good luck Kasia 💣💥

Is that Kasia Wasick kr Brad Tandy?

Thanks for this great information. It's interesting and very useful. The variable that would be difficult to account for is how to maintain the optimal Dolphin Kick Technique while being full relaxed, tension free and use as little energy as possible. If the best technique dictated by the data requires a movement that requires a level of muscled tension beyond relaxed flexibility it will use too much energy resulting in an energy deficit experienced after surfacing. This energy deficit will result in an overall slower time even if the underwater is faster. I suppose the objective would then be to gain the flexibility and technique required over time until it can be done in a fully relaxed state. Pretty much the same as optimizing any change in swimming technique. The difficulty might be that some people simply do not have the ankle flexibility. Genetics plays it's hand. Relaxed flexibility is Key.

Thanks f infonya

can someone explain what he means by two up one down vs. one up one down? thanks, ethan

When you instruct swimmers in this drill, what is the main point of emphasis that you like to focus on in terms of how this drill relates to swimming butterfly? Is the emphasis on reducing the delay before initiating the pull? Or something different?

Either you know it or you don’t. Only competition will define it

Is there a tipping point between streamlining and power when, swimming without the finis strap, the knees are too close together? Or is it always preferable in theory to keep the knees as narrow as possible?

Excelente 💯

Why flutter kick and not dolphin kick tho?

sir what exercise should I practise to gain that type of shoulder flexibility and rotation during the start?

Excelente demostración lo hace tan fácil

i’m very bad at that i neeed help to get there can you explain to me the shortest way to get there im very impressed 😊too

Congratulations!!!

Lovely dolphin kicks❤❤

Power! Good luck Maggie! Nice work Gary.
