Good explanation
Tank you 😊
Good explanation. Thanks
Thanks ❤❤❤❤
Unless I am not understanding something, as a new swimmer I can't see where this is a " kick from the hips" as this person is bending at the knees .........??????
Thank you. I like the cone hat on the wall too.
Veo los videos hasta en inglés!!😂❤
Very good Tutorial to learn how to breath properly so as to balance the body and swim properly...!!! Thank you soooooo much Sir for explaining the small and little but most important and unavoidable skills/tricks to be applied while swimming / learning to swim. Lord Swaminarayan bless you and your family 💕💕 and your Team so much.🎉
Excellent training video. The best I have viewed yet.
Optimizing your kick strength can lead to faster speeds, but it's essential to manage energy consumption.
Thank you some really good tips. I struggle and it’s all because of my breathing technique. Which is almost zero. I swim every other day, but I’m not practicing all what I’m watching. I will follow these tips on a regular basis. 🙏🏾
Hola gracias por el vídeo, pero cual es más eficiente?
Great video ❤
Great video. I was wondering if you could explain what the legs are supposed to be doing while the hips are rotating. I don't think we can achieve a proper "hip driven" stroke without coupling hip rotation with kicks? Thank you.
Pls tell me which one is better
Por la velocidad parece que sin flexión avanza más rápido no lo sé lo voy a tener que comprobar
excellent
👌👍🙏
hi buck the worm
Thank you for this. please upload a 2 beat kick tutorial. Thank you ❤
Thanks for uploading. Can you make a video on exercises for developing a 2 beat kick?
Very good presentation
My breathing is aweful. Thank you.
😊😊😊😊😊
GREAT VIDEO. Thank you, Sir.
Super Thanks alot .
very practical thank you .
I will make video once i do sub5 25 metre swim
That background music is soooo bad
Rafa, you are wonderful. I am now much closer to understanding how hip rotation works.
where can you get this waist fin equipment?
Top class
There is something basically wrong with these claims. The hip cant do anything
Thanks for sharing it. Btw I tried and my body sinks btw connections .
Very helpful
I would like to highlight one concern here Coach Rafa.... imagine a hand hold one support... and try to push body... the maximum movement will happen in one case only... if support will not move.... in this case the hand will not move.... the shoulder will move forward to direction of support.... Now let us convert this example to swimming.... the crawling hand should work almost same as the above mentioned example.... proper anchorage of arm will lead to maximize the shoulder moving forward and then the whole body will move forward... any slipping of arm will lead to useless crawling by arm... Million Thanks Coach Rafa... ❤❤
Many thanks Coach Rafa for issue this vedio in English Language..... appreciate your good self to respond to every comment for your followers...
Interesting video, lots of info and food for thought. At 68 I think I might need to adjust a few things. For the record I liked English dub it made it easier to follow the physical demonstration you gave and with the students in the water. I don't speak Spanish, just English and Norwegian.
I prefer your videos to be in Spanish, with sub titles rather than English dubbed over the Spanish. As for the hips being the drivers, land based sports that use rotation to generate energy are exact opposites of long axis swimming strokes. It is mechanically and physically impossible for the lower body to generate any rotational forces because there is NOTHING for the feet and lower body to anchor on to generate any force at all. Land sports generate their rotational forces either with feet at shoulder width apart like golf or a karate punch (check out Bruce Lee's 1 inch punch). With the batter, or a pitcher, they step into the action which generates the force. In all of these land based examples, the spiral goes from the feet through the hips, and out the finger tips to hit, throw, or swing. With swimming, we are pulling, not pushing or throwing. Without exception, any swimmer who is properly connected from finger tips to toes, the pulling arm is the anchor for generating the rotational energy. The shoulders rotate independently from each other, not as a unit like the hips do. The pulling arm starts the rotation, the down kick on the same side happens, and then the recover arm completes the body rotation. The rotation in swimming does 2 things. One is that it makes for a longer lever to apply to the pulling action, so you go from your spine to your finger tips rather than just from your shoulder. It also gets the top side shoulder out of the water for less drag. If you don't believe me, swim some catch up style freestyle. Every thing anchors on the pulling arm, and nothing comes up from the hips.
All the top elite coaches will tell you that there is shoulder driven freestyle and also HIP driven freestyle. The dry land examples are good for novices to comprehend what their hips are supposed to be doing horizontally in the water. People inherit shoulder issues when they only allow their shoulders to do all the work. If they allow their shoulders AND their hips to rotate in tandem, they can generate more power and then the speed naturally follows. But to imply that the hips are unimportant in the freestyle form is really incorrect, because the hips absolutely can help with the long axis strokes. 😊
Well, I have chatted with Gary Hall Sr. of the Race Club about this same topic. He responded some thing like 'hmm, even in the 50 meter sprint the pulling arm starts to move just before the recover arm enters the water'. Yes, if you try to do every thing with just the shoulders, you will have shoulder problems and be much slower in the water. In order for the hips to be able to generate rotation forces, the feet have to be anchored to some thing, and the water does not allow you to do this. Recently Fares Ksebati did a video with Rowdy Gaines and he finally made the comment that the rotation comes from the shoulders and pulling arm. I have argued with this about him for some time. As I said above, swim the catch up drill for a bit and notice how the rotation comes from the shoulders first, and then the hips rotate. The shoulders do not rotate at the same time like the hips do. About the only exception to this is with back stroke where the arms rotate opposite of each other, and with the 50 meter sprint, again the arms are opposite of each other.
Raffa, I like your explanations. But please explain why the hips rotate so little in the TI technique.
It doesn’t. That method is bolshet and its over rotating. All these methods are basic principles of freestyle “repackaging” differently.
Thanks for your sharing
Thanks for your sharing
A lot of very un-TI movements going on. Hand/arm positions are not good. When doing underswtich, way too much kicking. The same with swing-switch. There seems to be a lack of focus on rotation. There seems to be an emphasis on forcing the hand into the water rather than dropping it in and letting body rotation push the hand/arm to the x-y spot. Keep working.
Brett can it handle fly yet ?
No, just freestyle and backstroke
So many drills vs the book
If a picture is worth a thousand words, a video is worth gold.
Thanks very useful
Thanks
Thank you
Thanks
Please create a breaststroke video.
It is on the list of future videos, when possible we will have a complete guide.
Hi , happy New 🆕 year 2024 I have fallowed this very happy to hear good technic Please I need freestyle and butterfly and breaststroke too In fact I know all the stroke , but I need to correct my stroke by your guidelines please Thanks for your support
I'll get to work on it
🎉very good clarity
Nice ❤
Thank you
