      No pool swimming since March, but plenty of OW over the summer. Hopefully going again this afternoon.

    As a pool swimmer (50/100m), I noticed that on longer distances i would subconsciously try to hold on to the same distance per stroke as a sprint. However, due to the speed being much lower, my stroke rate would absolutely plummet leading to massively overgliding.
    Working on a shorter snappier stroke with no glide has made a huuuge difference :)
    Basically, I try and swim like Gregorio Paltrinieri now (albeit a bit slower, haha)
    I would highly recommend studying his stroke to triathletes ✌️

    Really helpful vid. I've started swimming again in a bay here downunder (no pool), in all sorts of conditions. Working hard on consistent technique but some great practical tips here which I'll use. Thanks! (btw, I do obey rule #1, swim with a group).

    Just watched another video, and ot suggested that the stroke rate isn't increased, but rather a kick on the same side as the pull and more rotation. This was from an open water expert "actually swimmimg" in the open water.

    Hello, great video! I am watching this video because I have a 5km Open Water Race in January. I have one question. How often do I lift my head out of the water? I usually do it about every 10 strokes but I’m not sure. Thanks!

  • @TamaEnergy
    @TamaEnergy Před rokem

    If im tryijg to increase stroke rate i cant do my noemal breath every 2 strokes! As itsbtoo fast

  • @slide4180
    @slide4180 Před 2 lety +1

    What I've noticed in my swimming is that kicking basically slows me down, acts as drag. When I wear small fins on my feet, and don't use them, their flotation effect really helps me glide through the water. Is my kick just too weak? Do I need to think about technique on the upper half of my body?

    • @MutantDoctor
      @MutantDoctor Před 2 lety

      I'm no expert but I have read that you might need to time your kicks better when you rotate your body during the stroke. Less is more sorta deal, I heard someone had this problem when they kicked a lot but noticed they weren't getting much speed

      This playlist is great for that issue. You have to straighten your legs, contract glutes and hamstrings, but also know when to relax your legs to let them float. You need a perfect sync on your stoke, hip rotation, kick and relaxation.
