I like how all the people in the comments are olympic swimmers

You don't have to be an olympic swimmer to have swam competitively in highschool or college. Same fundamentals apply, in increasing your speed, only difference is you grow bigger and perhaps get better training and coaches.

Thanks for the video. Been getting into the pool only once a week - usually do a 4 x 500m set. Average around 10:30 mins for the first few sets then drop to around 10:45 mins for the last one as I'm getting tired then. Went to the pool today to do the same set but really tried hard to focus on doing the stroke according to this video and correcting my mistakes. Wasn't really concerned about speed, just getting the technique right. Averaged around the 10:00mins for each set with the last one being 10:10mins :) Really helpful tips and going to watch the other videos now. Would love to get to 1:40s/100m...

@EV1SCERATED 5 жыл бұрын

Sürüşlerin Efendisi i think it’s about catching more water (& sooner) therefore pushing oneself farther with each stroke. for beginner swimmers, i’ve noticed that a lot tend to kind of slap their arms into the water without thinking, instead of trying to catch more water and getting a stronger pull. if they were to adjust their stroke like shown in the video, they’d probably drop a lot of time!

@markhooker8520 5 жыл бұрын

Yes, but only if you leave it there and fail to pull back. Don't pause with it there. As long as you are pulling back faster than your body is moving forward, your arm will be creating propulsion and not drag.

@alantaylor6691 6 жыл бұрын

I think specific conditioning is the most important thing, whatever you want to be good at, make the muscles used in that action strong, which comes about through doing that action over and over again over a long period of time. See, I'm an expert. I'd also suggest to train shorter distances at faster pace with good form, rather than longer distances at slower pace and sloppy (lazy) form. I learnt that from cycling, perhaps it applies to swimming too.

@emiliarhodes5136 4 жыл бұрын

Freestyle sprinting is really hard!and for your experience your time is great! I've been swimming for almost 9 years now and it honestly just takes practice. I like to do 10x25's flutter kick all out in the 0:30 to allow for minimal rest, this might help to bring up your pacing and your endurance and you can adjust your interval as needed. It also might be good to take a look at how you're breathing and focus on that during practice. The tired feeling after the 50 feels gross but is natural after you go all out for that long! Good luck!

Well, she doesn't look like she is a real professional swimmer to me, but I think the video nonetheless can be effectively useful right because many learners share these little or big imperfections and it's hard to get rid of them (the imperfections, I mean!). Besides, it's easier to find video of swimmers with better technique. As a recretional swimmer, I appreciate.
