Please how he kick exactly

So his strong arm must be his left arm I imagine

How is kick

Thank you for your superb channel. As a mid -fifties old getting swim fit for a 3km open water swim, you have provided invaluable advice. I went from a 3.30/100m to 2.20/100m over 3 months and still much to improve. I plateaued about 3.10 and then over the last month times tumbled as my body/brain embedded. The advice last week of open arm pits for recovery allowed me to finally do a continuous 1km in the lido this morning. Thanks so much.

It's like my right leg is pulling away from me. What's happening exactly?

Why is the side of the pool not flush?

Great explanation, visual, and no annoying music. Thank-you!

1 - 12/100m is easy when walking next to the pool. LOL I am usually 2 - 15/100m over 4km. How he can swim a whole minute faster is amazing.

Whats his name ??

This is great, when I swim long distance (for me this is 2k and above) that is when I start to cramp and it is my hamstrings that cramp. I assume this is a sign of weakness? If doing a bulgarian split squat is it better to have the raised ankle flexed or extended, or would alternating this position help?

This video did it for me! I finally was able to see what the 2 beat kick motion looked like and successfully implemented TODAY! Added holding my “Backside” arm stroke til I was face down again. Today….The effortless glide happened!!!

At my very best 20 years ago i could do 1.05 and would be knackered. Can get nowhere near that now very impressive

Very good and efficient drill. I use it for few minutes and was 3 seconds faster. Thank you for sharing it .

for me 2 and 6 bit are rather natural, however 4 bit is non-symetrical and quite tricky. That is why I invented different 4 bit for myself :D It is timed like 2 bit but each kick is preceeded by additional one, at the end these are pairs of quick kicks with an interval inbetween. Not sure if this is ok, but it somehow works for me for now.

Where do I get your video membership. Please share the link.

Thanks!

How do you engage your core and still have a relaxed swim? Engaging your core creates a certain amount of tension in your abs and a relaxed swim involves releasing tension.

How can I put the paddle on my cap?

The fastest I can go for 100m is 1.31, it's amazing that he can do 1.12 for 4 hours, really incredible.

Can I put Velcro on my swim cap?

I also found out as my right arms drill lower & my legs would lift upwards and prepare for my left arm drill with shallow water near the water surface helping me to breathe easily at the same time I can keep accelerating

I bend a little my feet as I cannot fully straighten my feet I found out as I press my thigh when I drill forwards that makes my kick easier n effective

I cannot use fins ,once I used I would totally relay on it. Everytime I used fins, I cannot swim nicely without them

Great video. I love watching swimming tuition. I watch them before getting in the pool

Good point Thanks

Dr. Ford: bring this guy to a pool deck and walk through a series of exercises. Next up talk about plant strong swimming. Carl Reader: bring a body chart to your next class online so we can see the parts of our body.

Im struggling to do this swim style any advices especially for breathing ?

with just 4 beat kicks; amazing

Can't believe he didn't mention leg curls or stiff legged deadlifts. 2 of the greatest hamstring exercises

This channel is gold! Thank you very much! Although it is things I already know It is really great to hear it. Andy give a really good explanation of it all too

Unbelievable - and inspiring- that this is possible. Beautiful to watch. Would have been amazing to get a direct front-on angle from under the water as well as one from directly underneath like they capture in the Olympics with a moving underwater camera.

Thanks 🌹

Videos are great...I noticed that his right hand is significantly deeper than the left during the reach...is this intentional, or is there a purposeful function

Montrez au moins les exercices!!! La vidéo aurait été plus pertinente pour tout le monde

fast speed, no tumble turns. Could you do a video on tumble turns?

Dudd why dont u cover ur ears water goes in ears snd that eill cause chlorine disease like acidity etc

First

i cant understand anything. Are you scottish???

Our swim crew appreciates your video analysis. It has been very helpful for all of us. We are a crew of older open water, swimmers, who work hard to improve our technique. Keep up the good work! Thank you West End Swim club, Roxbury NYC

Thank you lad ❤

Hi, great breaking down system but what happened to his power diamond ? Just seemed a bit floppy

This was began by Alexander Popov and characterised by the late Terry Laughlin of Total Immersion decades ago.

Gold dust! So simple. So sensible. So motivating. I can’t wait to get back in the water tomorrow. I’m just going to do what Joe says. Thank you so much.

Treat to watch ..and disaster to do inperson...lol

Thanks

When you say 25 strokes per lap, what pool length is this? It seems incredibly efficient for a 50m but pretty inefficient for a 25m.

I think of forming a vortex. Feeling that. On front of the leg.

I have a background in competitive swimming and worked as a beach lifeguard for several years. I'm currently 60 and compete in local sprint triathlons. My swim training consists of 2 sessions per week, session 1) 400Mx6 (tempo) and session 2) 200M warm up, 100Mx8 (75 race pace w/25M sprint finish) and 200 cool down, twice. For a total of 4800M per week. Currently my open water race pace is 1:18/100M. I can do a 1:07 100M sprint. With run and bike and strength training I just can't work in any more time for swim training. I'm looking to move up to the Olympic distance do you think I can do this and be competitive (in the swim) with my current training schedule?

Ok I’m back . Well … I know I looked like #*+!. lol 😂😂😂( I didn’t look anything like the guy on the vid ) But it was good doing it. I’m making it part of my sessions now. Thanks again. 👍

I’ll give this a try this morning. I very recently accomplished doing 25 butterfly, I find it very challenging. So thanks guys
