You are so amazing at the details for superior technique. Your connections to the underlying physics, too, is just superior. I watch a lot of technique and swim videos on KZread as a High School Swim teacher. No one comes close to the level of nuance that The Race Club brings to swimming.

Can you please help me. On my butterfly recovery my hands, palms and fingers are like too bent and what happens is I nearly enter with my wrist first and not the fingers. Can you please help?​@@theraceclub

High arms raise is flexible for those who have short length of arms, just like flying fish catching up surface to move forward more and more powerful. Thanks to those two beauties from Hawaii, and the great teacher also.

Yes, but the most important physical attribute is having great shoulder flexibility for extension.

This is literally shoulder injury speedrun lmao, the arm is being bent at a very unnatural position putting strain on your shoulder. Nobody should ever try this. Even olympic swimmers dont do this

Great video! Thank you for sharing and I look forward to the next one.

Interesting opinion, as always different coaches will have varied views on which arm entry is best or more efficient.

That is correct. There are some pretty fast flyers out there using vertical recovery....but all of them have excellent shoulder flexibility.

Nearly every swimming technique has a good and a bad side to it. This one requires more work, but results in more propulsion on the second down kick.

I didn't have any where close to that much shoulder flex, even when I was young.... Interesting point about high arm recovery...

@theraceclub

Yes. Not many have this amount of flexibility.

Amazing. Would love to be young and flexible again, but doubt it'll happen. My approach: yards of body dolphin BD , mix in one arm fly OAF, then mix in full stroke FS. BD>BD>OAF>BD>OAF>BD>FS>BD>OAF>BD>OAF>FS etc. If it feels good, drop the BD. Lather, rinse, repeat.

I noticed you're having them breathe late, can you explain the benefits of this technique? Also, I'm curious about where to find similar video equipment to use with my team. Suggestions?

@theraceclub

We teach late breath fly because it causes less drag and is easier for swimmers that learn it properly. It is not necessarily faster, as early breath technique can generate more propulsion. For these videos we use very expensive RED Epic cameras with 8K resolution. For our testing or analysis we are using GoPro8 cameras.

I thought recover her arms straight above her head is wrong because you need more energy to hold the arm. But this video shows that it depends on? sometimes it's better?

We like the vertical recovery in butterfly for swimmers with excellent shoulder flexibility because it allows for more powerful coupling. You are right that this is less energy-efficient than having the hand in a lower position. This technique might be better suited for the 100 or 50 butterfly.

Surely amazing! But isn’t that pushing your luck asking for a shoulder injury to push your shoulder mobility to such an extreme? Is this something to even consider when passed 65 years old? My wisdom is telling me leave that mobility extreme to women that need to use an avantage they have on men which is shoulder mobility and as a man use your power something we have relatively easy.

Yes Marc you're absolutely right. This technique is only recommended to swimmers with extreme shoulder flexibility. Good question!
