    The only thing I would add, re the outsweep/insweep issues, is imagine your hand is like the paddle of an oar and you place it in the water and then pull your body past the hand, rather than pushing the arm back.

  • @user-ed2ny7pt6w

    it's amazing how even if you are not taught these techniques many of us have found them for they are simply the fastest or efficient.

    You slipped a clip of coach Mandy in there.....Tee hee hee! You are a student of Gary Hall's Race Club, for sure. One ongoing discussion I have had with him is that it is mechanically impossible for the hips to drive anything in the water. It works on land based sports because you start body rotation at the feet, either from wide stance or by stepping into the action. The action travels through your hips, up your spine, through your shoulders, and out your finger tips. Find for throwing. Not for pulling, which is what we do in swimming. In the water, there is absolutely nothing for the feet to anchor on to provide any base for rotational energy. I pointed out to Gary that no matter who the swimmer was, without exception, the pulling arm engages first, then the hips rotate along with #1 kick/pulse kick as Gary calls it, then the recover arm completes the shoulder rotation. His comment was some thing like "hmm, even with the shoulder driven style the pulling arm does engage first'. The shoulders do rotate independently, while hips can not. The Gallop Style, is an uneven beat stroke, a quick 1, 2, then repeat. The non breathing arm extends and pauses, then it is the quick #1 stroke and the #2 stroke is the recover arm. So, the arms do maybe operate at different cadences, but it is not in sinc with each other. Take a look at Katie Ledecky and Ariarne Titmus in their races. Katie is gallop style, Ariarne is traditional 2, 2, 3. Pretty much all men swim gallop style, from distance to sprints, with the exception of the 50 meter spring. I have heard that stroke called windmill and splash and dash. It is reliant on brute strength, straight arm pull, straight arm recover. Most women don't have the power to do it, other than maybe for the last 10 meters of a race. Do watch any slow mo video of any swimmer you can find. The pulling arm gets to about just about 30 to 40 degrees through that 180 degree arc of the pull, and then the kick on the same side kick happens.

    Hi can you make a separate video explaining more about the 3 different types of freestyle. It made sense because my daughter is getting kind of confuse because her new coach wanted to change her stroke but she said she feels slower. Maybe because she is competing in longer course already.

    How much kick you really need and is good for you depends on the circumstances. And you can actually swim very well just with fists and forearms if you know how to do it.

  • @peetsnort
    @peetsnort Před 6 měsíci

    Im old but ive learnt that if you listen to the hair on your head you can assuage your speed.
    A couple of wrong moves demonstrated in this video i discovered in greece when i was swimming until exhausted but by chance realised that putting my head facing the sand on bottom my speed picked up .i was aware of my speed by utilising the senses of my hair.
    I improved drastically.
    All little other movement showed either a decrease or increase in my speed.
    I suppose its like blind people who can use their fingers to read braille
