Still a beginner, my words will reflect the knowledge I've gained from other swimming KZread channels or from my coach. But I won't say anything new, as you described and summarized your technique quite well. I like your rotation and body position on your non-breathing side. Rotation is around 45 degrees, hips are relatively flat, good horizontal position minimizing drag. On your breathing side, there is significant over-rotation, almost 90 degrees, with hips as well. More energy and time are needed to maintain your balance; hand position and the "scissors"-like position at the peak of rotation also create quite a bit of drag. If you can make your breathing side much more similar to your non-breathing side, the technique should be more balanced and actually quicker. Regarding rotation, I've been told that the rotation in the shoulders should be greater than in the hips, and the hips should remain relatively flat. Overall, impressive time and a great video. Thank you a lot. You are a great inspiration

Another great video! Thank you for leaving the faults in as well. It helps those who are learning to understand that there's always room for improvement, even at your level. It would be really interesting to see another video analysis of you later in the year, after you've worked on the over-rotation issue, and see a comparison between the two styles then.

Try this to fix the over rotation. Rather than thinking of leading the extension with your arms or your hands, think keeping elbow hands and shoulders loose. The extension comes from the other shoulder pulling back

You'd create less drag if you let your palms sink under your wrist as you are reaching for full extension. You can see how you are creating resistance by having your palm after entry stay too close to the surface. Other than this, great video, thanks a lot!

My problem is that after 500-600m, I can't maintain body rotation due to fatigue, especially in my arm because of the high catch elbow. When that happens, my swimming looks crappy. What is the solution?

Try thinking about swimming in a smaller cylinder. If you keep your elbow a little higher in your pull phase it will cause a lot less drag resistance on your shoulder and arm, then pulling so deep, and if you take the breath as your hand is passing your belly button, it’ll allow you to get your face back down quickly. These are just things that might make it easier to hold that pace longer.

Nice, the question is how much do you swim per week and per session?

Damn, your smooth and calm 100 m freestyle has the same time mark that my best mark 😭

So you're getting slower. Is that what you mean

Excellent video! You surely know how to move well in the water. You primarly use your legs to have a good horizontal position and not for propulsion, is there a reason for that? My kicking is terrible as and I am trying to improve on it. If you have a good video on legs propulsion that would be appreciated.

In regards to kicking, when going at a smooth pace/longer distances, I use my legs as a tool to stay balanced and maintain body position 😊 if you over kick you’ll fatigue very quickly as legs are the biggest muscles of your body. I will definitely post some videos on kicking 😊

Do you think it is possible to do less than 1 minute in the 100 freestyle and 100 medley just by training 40 minutes a day and without being an athlete? I've been swimming for 2 years, I'm 29 years old. I do 1.10 in 100 free and 1.20 in 100 medley.

Is 1:10/100m fast? Because I think it's actually very slow. My 13y/o son is currently swimming 1:13/100m, 5 months after his knee surgery. I'm thinking he's swimming pretty slow, but giving him some slack due to his knee surgery. He was swimming 1:00/100m prior to his knee surgery, and I was thinking it's at least 5 seconds slower than where he needs to be at his age. Am I off here?

@Lseperformance

Hey, First of all, I hope your son has a speedy recovery & I wish him and yourself all the best. In this video I talk about long distance swimming & not competitive pool swimming. 1.10 is a pace I hold over 800/1000m. To answer your question, 1.00min at 13/yo is fantastic results 😊

I'm not 100% sure but here is maybe something you could improve: At 5:40 your arm streches out. It should be parallel to the water surface or slightly facing downwards, with hand below ellbow below shoulder. At 8:50 you can see that your arm faces slightly upwards, creating unnecessary drag. By keeping your arms parallel to the surface you not only create less drag but also facilitate the catch phase. Again, I'm not a professional or a faster swimmer than you, but here is what I saw. Hope that is usefull and thank you for every bit of knowledge you provide us with, Coach. 🐳🐟

I sometimes find when I tuck my head down a small degree, it helps bring my legs up so I am floating more and it brings my legs up. I like how far your reach, which enables you to push more water, but I try to hit the 11 and 1 on a clock. On your reach, your hand is too far to the right.

@@lcdjnckhr I had it for a long time until I applied tips from 'Effortless Swimming' recent video on shoulder pain. Yes, you are right, lower the elbow and widen the arm/elbow, so it recovers in bigger angle above water surface (in other words - do not recover arm in straight position but bend it and keep wider). It really took the pain off my shoulders and I can swim more and use paddles 👍

@Lseperformance

Hey! There can be many reasons for this, But the most common one is not enough rotation. If you just try to lift your elbow up without body rotation you are putting a lot of strain on your shoulder, instead - make sure you are rotated before going into your recovery 😊
