It’s a pleasure to watch your freestyle. You could perhaps further reduce drag if you look towards the bottom of the pool and not a bit forward. Thus your head will move very little for drawing breath.

@joejoe-lb6bw 3 ай бұрын

Looking toward bottom is good for swimming, but maybe not the safest? I saw a head on collision in pool lane. , I almost ran into the wall cause I lost the front quadrant arm position. Not I try to look at 45 degrees.

My mistakes at freestyle were not finishing the push completely and flail my arms at flipturn. Working on it, it hurts just yet (triceps and loweback), but the former seems to improve my breathing too (keep mouth to the sufrace) and both the overall speed

@irenaanna 3 ай бұрын

Yes that definitely engages your triceps! Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work!

Great video! I've got two questions... I have also heard that you are NOT supposed to rotate (when not breathing). Is there any situation where this is true? And about the kicking. When swimming longer distances, is it better to do fewer kicks, like one to two per stroke? Take a swimmer like Markus Marthaler for example, he's barely moving his legs and somehow they stay up there anyway. I imagine a lot of energy/O2 is saved that way. Again, thanks for a great video!

@irenaanna 3 ай бұрын

Hi there, great questions! Regarding kicking - for longer distances, swimmers usually kick less to save energy. However, kicking helps to maintain the rhythm and keep your body position flat on the surface. If you can do that by kicking less on longer distances - great. It's important to test these things out individually, what works for someone might not exactly work for others. Rotation - if you're not rotating enough, it's harder to move the arm above the water in the recovery phase. Additionally, rotating allows you to reach farther out with your arm so that your underwater pull is long and strong, it's a position that doesn't create any extra drag. Not sure what the advantages of not rotating would be, but again, if it works it works.

@captainmcface9393 3 ай бұрын

You've got some good points there. I think the point of not rotating (as much) is to keep your "catch arm" from sinking. But as you say, you have to rotate to get the recovery arm up properly and to stretch the catch arm as long as possible. Thanks!

Thank you for the great video. I breathe fine to my left side and it feels great and I can do 80 laps non stop and not getting tired. However, breathing to the right side so hard and I get tired very fast. When breathing to the right side my left arm is not catching properly and my head position is not good. Do you have a drills to fix that. Thank you.

@MooseOnEarth 3 ай бұрын

Drill to fix: change your breathing pattern: 4 lanes on the right, 4 lanes by 3 strokes (left and right), 2 lanes on the right, 4 lanes by 3 strokes, and so on. This drill shall make your brain transfer the movements when doing only left breathes to alternate breathing and then to breathing on the right alone. You can also include a 5 stroke breathing pattern to breath alternating on both sides and have more time to concentrate on the movments. Also: video analysis, that shows you, what you make differently when breathing left in comparison to breathing right. You can train your left arm individually to catch properly no matter what the breathing rhythm is. You can also check and train your head position, which will naturally follow you upper body rotation.

First of all, 80 laps nonstop without getting tired is AMAZING so congrats! It could be worth it asking someone to look at your stroke when you're breathing to the left side, it's hard to say what drill would be helpful without seeing it. For the head position - pay attention to keep the top of your head parallel to the wall at all times!

@stluciestrength 3 ай бұрын

Pretty good but my problem is I’m a sinker! When I turn to breathe, especially my left side, I start to sink. Those kicking on the side drills are very difficult for me, without fins or a snorkel. Any suggestions? Thanks

@irenaanna 3 ай бұрын

You might have to work on your kick first to get more power from your legs. In addition, start core workouts, side planks etc.
