It's more of a 25 yard pool , it took him 8-9 strokes per length , while michael phelps takes avg 12 strokes in a 25 meter , just check out other professional swimmers race or past Olympics

Dolphin kicks and flip turns are the secret sauce here. They represent 10 meters each turn, leaving only 60 meters of fluid freestyle. Great video.

Truly amazing

The head position is very interesting. Almost always totally immersed (bum up), also demonstrating great natural flexibility in his shoulders plus a superb inherent feel for the water ...................... part of the recipe that makes up an Olympian i guess . I am envious !

Can we have above water and front side view of his swim?

I could watch this all day

I did the same thing, only the clock stopped showed 2.11😃

I’m not too experienced, but this guy just did my exact 50 m time without even trying and without a block start

So he does two kicks per stroke on his non breathing side and one kick per stroke on his breathing side. Looks so smooth!

It looks so good. I wish I could swim so well some day. it does not have to be fast but smooth

That's just so satisfying

Very clean!

Less catch up. The pulling arm move faster before the recovery arm is extended fully than at 1:10?

Really good style but pool lanyard is 26-27 blue and white stripes. He is 3 or 3'5 stripes tall. If he is 180-190cm tall then each stripe is 60-70cm long maximun. 27x70= 1890cm. The pool is no longer than 20m.

I'm really struggling with breathing for this stroke. going side to side every 3rd stroke for breath. is it ok too do what this guy is going just coming up for air that often? Even if swimming this stroke for 40 mins a time?

It inspires me and makes me mad that it takes this little effort to swim faster than me

Just got 59 with Combat Side Stroke 100m. Trying to get that technique down with freestyle but it's hard learning on your own without any criticism.

This is my long term goal here. I don't know it is even possible. When I swim with rapid tempo I have pace 1:24-1:30 with avg. 8 SPL on 25 m pool course.

I’ve been focusing on kick timing. Weirdly, his kick is asymmetrical. Left arm catch = strong left leg kick. Left arm finish = medium right leg kick. Right arm catch = strong right leg kick, BUT Right arm finish = NO KICK. Weird. On one side it’s two kicks and a recovery. On the other, it’s a one-beat kick. I’m working on the Strong, Medium, Recovery on both sides. Any explanation for the asymmetry?

@worthtech3249

He uses his kick well to enhance his rotation into the catch, I noted Ledecky does the same. I've started working on this.

@JonFairhurst

4 жыл бұрын

I’ve also been working on it. The kick with the catch definitely helps the rotation. It also boosts the body forward so you can catch quickly without losing purchase on the water. This is the major kick. The medium kick is at the end of the stroke, which is the most powerful moment and it occurs when the recovered arm is streamlined. This is the fastest moment in the stroke. It’s not unlike the butterfly kick when the arms are finishing their stroke. It still seems weird that he only does it on one side. When the arm recovers, the legs don’t so muck kick as they recover to set up for the next big catch kick. I’ve been practicing this with and without small fins. Using fins, withvery little movement and a *snap* at the right timings, you can go really fast with little effort. Wish I had been practicing this years ago.

@josephpurdy4664

It can often be because of variation of breathing or asymmetry of arm strokes. Often poor kick is an indicator of something else being done improperly

Joseph Purdy - After my previous comment, I saw a video on this technique. It’s a four beat kick. Three on one side and just one on the other. I believe that this is a compromise. It’s like a six beat kick, but conserves energy. Looking forward to a politician with the balls to end this pandemic, so I can get back in the (local, indoor) pool and try it.

Hi Tristin, I'd say you'd have to go back to basics and work on your stroke technique to do it. However in his classic book "The Science of Swimming" James Counsilman said that a major stroke change will slow a swimmer down for a few months, but it may be possible to change technique bit by bit. I haven't swum at all for years and am quite old now but if I do get back in the water I would work almost entirely on stroke technique and not go for any speed until good technique was established. The other thing is pacing. Just going half a second slower on the first 25m of a 4x25 hundred metres, maintaining the pace for the second 25m and giving it all you've got from 65 or 75m could improve your time by half a second to a second. You need to practise this as it feels quite different. Almost all club swimmers I've seen go off too fast and then have to slow down. The same applies to all distances

@@josephpurdy4664 Hi Joseph, I'm no expert though I have done a lot of miles in training. The best advice I can give is to use a snorkel so the breathing doesn't disrupt the stroke and swim slowly so you can really focus on getting the movements and timing right. For movements and timing Effortless Swimming has some of the best advice I've found. It takes time and lots of repetition to establish a good habit. Only then start to breathe without a snorkel, then increase pace. In his book "The Science of Swimming" James Counsilman, who was the father of modern swimming training, says it takes months for a swimmer to make a major stroke change successfully and start to improve on former times. I find it helps to practise the movements you want out of the water. Personally I think it's well worth the time spent developing a good stroke. If you can get someone to video your stroke from different positions above and below water that should be very helpful
