Dude looks so smooth, it's mesmerizing!

@~8'32" to 9'42" mesmerising underwater footage, looks too easy for 1.10 pace 🤩🤩

I have taken notes again! Thankyou so much for the video! Super grateful to learn from you

No........., stop giving such good advises to triathletes about their kicking! If they start swimming effectively like real swimmers how are we going to recognize them? 😁😁😁😁 (just kidding! I am so envious of how strong some of those guys are even without using their legs.)

Katie was swimming lopsided. She only breath to the right. Her dominant leg is her right leg, which only need a smaller kick because she rotate less on that side. After sometime swimming like that you will develop a slight tension on the right leg that help a lot on keeping good position, it works like a bouy and foundation for the left leg to flick. This lopsided stroke feels weird while you swim but it is actually a very fast stroke especially when you have only average build and strength. In which the body rotates a bit less to allow higher stroke rate. You always recover higher with your dominant arm in this style. Combine that with a strong enter that pulls your body ahead, gain some more length.

The way she kicks is the way its always felt natural for me to kick. I always thought it was super wrong so i prefered not kicking at all which makes things worst. Good to know that this is a viable option i can work around and builde the rest of my technique around

Brilliant video. Love the focus on rotation and stability. You guys holding any camps in uk

I am strongly convinced triathletes need to devote one third of their total swimming training session to kick for the following reasons 1) wound prevention. Strengthening the inside leg should keep tendinitis away (with the right cycling position) - 2) Kicking improves your running performance. In the short term, your cycling performance might not be as good because of rest issues, in the long term it will actually get better than before as you lose shoulder weight - 3) In race, kicking is essential to overtake a contestant. Conclusion : triathletes MUST diversify their swimming sessions rather just doing arms, as I see it week in week out.

Very helpful, appreciate this video

WE LOVE THIS!! THANKS FOR THE REMINDERS!! LOVE THE DRILLS AND NO FUN IS OK TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

Loved this one, especially the music, really communicated the zen aspect of it that can make a huge difference

Awesome video 😎 thank you for your help! The shoulder bit could be me at the moment 😱

Arrgghhh!! No swimming for at least four days .. . Christmas humph !!

How does Ledecky's legs not sink with such low kick count? When I swim with such a low kick count my legs sink.

I could look at that guy swim all day!! It is a work of art. :-) Who is he btw?

another awesome video happy holidays Brenton

Relevance of kicking exercises for triathletes

1:10 pace with so little effort? sounds like a miracle to me.

9:50 unreal

Thanks for the info/tip! I prefer not to kick a lot when I swim

i have been fascinated by ledeckies 1 beat kick, so i started as a 2 beat kick. i love it. as a triathlete i feel very very fresh with my legs although my swimming pace is awful, but i have started to vibrate my leg. i dont know if thats a correct word but you can see when she does a kick she is still moving here leg very quickly and slightly kind of preparing for the next kick and just like that little by little without any effort i started to do the same after some time. now my pace increased by about 10 seconds just because of that. i really dont know if that is a balance thing or it helps to keep my legs up a little bit more and tense not letting them to drag as much. i dont know if anyone reading the comments especially effortless swimming. but i have a question about my form. i noticed that my right leg drags a lot of water when iam turning to breath (right side). what might be the problems ?

Great stuff :)

why does ledeckie kick with only one leg???

I noticed most of these swimmers are breathing unilateral every other stroke. I breathe bilateral every third stroke. I’ve been focused on developing a 2 beat kick. Should I change my breathing style or focus on a different kick? (Triathlon distance swimming)

Will swimming woth fins for a month or two hurt a new swimmer? Specific drills to help with kick

Is kicking with one foot okay I find it so much easier

I've watched a video of Kara Lynn Joyce. She was swimming with paddles and a pull-buoy. For each catch she was bending the knee and then pull and kick together. Of course due to pull-buoy the movement was mostly from the knee. No explanation so this is what I thought to be the case. It really helps me. I am over 50 but learning technical swimming :) I uploaded the video here. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nbxnY7Nl0eC-j6c.html

Curious... seen it done both ways. Is there any advantage to opposite leg to pulling arm kick vs. same leg to pulling arm kick?

We see desktop swimming by your talk. Make the talk in the background while visuals related to your words play on the screen. Desktop talking is good to teach mathematics.

Great

So what sort of kicking time should us triathletes be looking at for 25m or 50m ?

hi, coach, i can do 1000 meters just by kicking without stopping. In the case where I do 4 beat kicks, I would like to know if the 2 beat kicks are performed on the same right arm?

How come when i kick using a kick board i don’t move? Especially if my head is out of the water.

when strectching my feet to some extent ends up always with cramps...is this 100% a flexibility problem ?

Brenton, is gym work a must to make one a faster swimmer?

@8:32 #SwimmingGoals2020

5:32 what is the name of coach you referenced her podcast? I’ve searched Amy jones, Annie jones, and andy jones all with no luck. Grt video

6 50's kicking??? I'd be lucky to finish that at all. Crap.

👍
