    Appreciate your work in putting together a novel and I think useful way of viewing the stroke with use of avatar. Very little mention of the kicks which I think are critical in fly although can see them. I personally do not think the use of letters and stages such as H1, A1, A4 add anything at all to the presentation, just overcomplicate it. (Perhaps this is meant for a biomechanical analysis study?)

    Cool & succinct. For a non-competitive swimmer (except for trying to get personal bests) it's enlightening to think of the breastroke as having 5 variations and to switch between them. The weirdest thing for me with breastroke (butterfly too to a lesser extent) is that effort doesn't seem to increase uniformly with speed like it does for freestyle and backstroke. If I go slow it is easy to maintain, but some of the intermediate speeds actually seem to take more effort than just going all out or close to all out. Backstroke and freestyle definitely not like that.

    One thing this animation shows, which is common to almost all backstrokers, is that at the finish part of the stroke, the final push is straight down to the bottom of the pool. To me, the push should be straight back to the wall with the palm ending up flat against the thigh. This has you in perfect recovery position as well. I have heard a couple of instructors comment that that down push helps with body rotation. To me, body rotation anchors on the pulling arm, and does not come from the lower body. Nice animation, but I need a couple of rotations to get the idea, so several times the length of these clips.

    I've heard of pushing down to help keep your legs from sinking. When I keep that in mind, it definitely makes a difference!

  • @robohippy
    @robohippy27 күн бұрын

    I haven't heard that one. I have heard twice I think, that pushing down helps with rotation. Don't go for that one since rotation anchors on the pulling arm. As for sinking legs, best one I heard, other than head position was from a coach at Speedo who said, "Suck in your gut like you are trying to put your belly button on your spine." That is all about core engagement. Loose core, and your feet will sink, back stroke or freestyle, or the over arm side stroke I swim.

    Well, to me, the upper body position is not correct when the head is down and the arms are in the water. You have a major bend at the hip. Watching an underwater of Michael Phelps some years back, his arms are parallel to the top of the water, which is minimal drag position. His chest is maybe 18 inches below the top of the water, so huge arch in his chest and back. For those I see who swim it properly, this is more similar than what your avatar is doing. It just appears to be a high drag position.

    Thanks this video is really interesting. I study fluid mechanics but also I swim a lot and one of the many questions I ask myself is the importance of how the thrust, hand orientation and the aperture of the fingers affect the drag induced.

    but why do we accelerate through our stroke?

  • @FluidMechanicsInc
    @FluidMechanicsInc Жыл бұрын

    this is answered by John Waldman himself. I am in IT so I am only copying and pasting. “The reason why we need to accelerate when pulling: As you pull backward with your arms, depending on the relationship you gain and maintain with the pressure field and your intent, there will be a mixture of slippage, propulsion that drives your body forward and propulsion that pushes water backward. This is more apparent in a liquid environment, and then a terrestrial environment where you may encounter more natural stability. So, in the beginning of the pull, as you are developing your relationship with the pressure field, you do not want to move your hand fast, as you will overwhelm the newly formed pressure field. Once you have developed a more stable symbiotic relationship between you and it, if you are trying to push him off of the pressure field, your hand will need to keep up with the continuously increasing speed of the pressure field itself with the additional application of force. It will take to not just keep up, but to push off of that pressure field. In this way you can generate thrust and drive your body forward.”
