I am 67 yer old man, I do what you use to be call Australian crawl, basically means just use you arms, and let you legs trail behind, and don’t I breath at all, until I finished so far I have managed 43 meters in 18 seconds.

I believe you because my swim made yours look easy. I went 17.61 at the end of practice today, unshaven, drag suit on, no goggles, and the pool was actually made of jelly to slow me down more.

Yeah after watching this and reading your comment, i got a new kind of motivation. I just swam a 17.61 fully clothed. The lifeguards didn't really like me much but they were nonetheless impressed!

@peenhead9938 Жыл бұрын

Closing your eyes is very interesting. Sometimes I feel like I press too much when there is someone neck and neck with me, especially at the end of the race and it hurts me. But I just love racing and I dont think I would swim as fast if I didnt feel like I was in a race.

@KyleMillis Жыл бұрын

Love it, I totally see that working for some and not others. Just preference, keeping ur the eyes closed helps you focus on getting your head back in line.

@petermoore5106 Жыл бұрын

@@KyleMillis I recall Kyle Chalmers also saying in an interview last year that he swims mostly with his eyes closed. That's interesting especially because of how he reels people in at the end of his 100s.
