I run and cycle and when i compare breathing relative to intensity i can say that swimming consumes more oxygen than necessary. I say non expert swimmers try to inhale too much air. And this gives all sorts of problems. As long as you are not racing, swimming is not taxing and heartrate is low.

I already use all of these in open water training before to see any online instructions, just by MANY YEARS of T/E testing speed, energy consumed, efficiency, maybe a THOUSAND of kilometers of swim in the normal waters and could waters (3-8°C). Very good advices.. especially at the end of the stroke when you have to feel hand as closer to knee as you can without to compromise position, also it's a important point the hips driving movement in freesgyle. I sometimes also use almost no hips rotation, especially in the sea waters when i swim just for relax at very slow peace with loong gliding in water.

Απ οτι καταλαβαίνω ο ωμος τραβαει προς τα πισω με ελαφρως λυγισμενο τον αγκώνα

I’m thinking of trying this style. I have Erb’s palsy in my left arm and i can’t use it like a regular swimmer

Nice video. Am gonna try work on this. Thanks.

It is mechanically/physically impossible for the hips to drive the body rotation. Any ground sport that uses body rotation, the rotation starts at the feet, goes through the hips, and then out through the fingers. A baseball swing, golf swing, martial arts punch, and a baseball pitch are good examples. You either start with the feet anchored or step into the action. The purpose is to send max effort out through the shoulders and hands. The reason this is impossible in the water is that there is nothing to anchor your feet on to generate the rotation. Also, with swimming, there is a bit of 'throwing' your arms forward, but the main action of swimming is the pull, not the push out away from your body. Watch any swimmer whose kick is properly linked to their arm motion in long axis strokes, and the pulling arm engages first, and the down/front side kick happens when the arm gets to about 1/4 of the way through the pull, which correlates to the 'power' part of the pull, which is at about 45 degrees through the 180 degree arc of the arm pull. I never liked the one arm pull drill. I prefer the catch up freestyle by far. One other thing I prefer for a long axis stroke is the old over arm side stroke, but I dropped the scissor kick and went to the flutter kick because it is much faster. OAS is a long axis stroke, and one length of the pull, I swim with one arm over the top, and the next length I swim with the other arm on top. This is kind of a 1 arm drill.

Excellent Video 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 thank you 💯

why apologize for a “foreign” video? 🤦🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️swimming is swimming

Nice. Reminds me of the drills the late Terry Laughlin developed for the Total Immersion approach to swimming. He was ahead of his time.

❤❤❤❤❤

Out of 200+ freestyle practice videos I have watched in the last four months this is the first time I've come across this particular drill and I can't wait to try it. I've added it to my utube list to refer to. Thanks for posting.

Just video I needed . Subbed

Nice video! Yet like many other videos that mention "hip driven", the demonstrations seem to just show normal rolling of the body. So I experimented. Note I'm a newbie swimmer. I am probably missing some subtle point. Drill: I used a centre snorkel and a single fin. Most importantly I exaggerated the hip movement. With my arm in the catch diamond position, after the slight down kick of the leg, I would rotate the hip only, after the hip starts rotating I do the pull phase of the arm stroke which is accomplished with the upper body rotating. A corkscrew attempt. Very light power is used, enough to indicate core is being used (lats). This is just to develop the pattern in the nervous system. Hundred yards with each arm. The snorkel lets one stay under water and go slow, so focus is easier to manage. I don't know if this will help, but I probably will have a very sexy hip rotation dance move. Edit: 'Serepe effect' is the term I was searching for.

This is such a great video! As a beginner, this has helped me see all the mistakes in my own swimming and how I can correct them. Thank you!

When I breath with half google and half mouth, what is the best way to deal with water that gets in the mouth?

Excellent videos. Thank you

How do you use your core to bring your legs up?

Thanks for the analysis. They are extremely useful. Two thumbs up.

My left arm is absolutely crap. Does anyone else experience what can only be described as a lack of proprioception in one arm? Honestly my left arm is like a bit of wet spaghetti.

Perfect demonstration 5.40

What about hip driven freestyle? There are some video for triathleta?

Thanks for this. Will practice this. Started swimming this year. Perfecting breast stroke was only way I have done four triathlons. Know to improve need to crawl. Having some lessons and this video helps.

Excellent except the fact that you explain too little the drills, so we are not sure what the technique required exactly is.

This is very helpful. Thank you sir.

Great video lesson!

While pushing back the water whether we have to touch our thighs every time?

Thank you coach for the information that has been given, this is a very good technique for our young athletes...

These are so helpful to me, great channel sir!

will I sink if exhale too much before breathing? or Does moving forward gives our body some floatation with little air in our lungs? or will I be able to float without air just by kicking and catching? Everyone says exhale all your air before you take next breathe will I float or not while moving forward? Thank you

손이 긴장하면 물을 느낄수없다

😍😍😍👍👍👍👏👏👏

Very well explained than k u

Brilliant video. I've learned a lot from watching it. I love watching swimming videos. Excellent advice. Thanks for posting it.

So easy to watch, so hard to implement ))

A brilliant video. I have watched loads of videos and had one on one sessions as well. Although my swimming has improved tremendously, I can see all the issues in my own swimming shown in the video. Thanks.

This was everything that I needed!! Thank you so much for the video!!!!🎉🎉

Professional swimmer, I just wonder during the recovery why do you throw your hand roughly back before bring it back to the water?

🏊🏼‍♂️🏊🏻‍♀️

Your wrist is dropping on entry and causing a braking action.

super! thx so much!

super!

Nice clip of Raul at Swim Skills in there. One of my favorite swim channels. For body position/posture in the water, try an exercise I picked up from gymnastics. Feet, butt, and shoulders back against the wall. Good posture would be barely being able to slip your fingers behind your lower back/lumbar region. If your forearm can slip behind, you have too much arch in your back, which causes your hips and feet to get low. When you suck your gut in so there is only finger room at your lower back, then you are straight. In gymnastics, if you are spinning, your back has to be perfectly straight or you go all wonky.... For kicking, do check out the Positive Drive fins from Finis. No connection with them other than they make fins the way I would. We do not have flat feet like frogs. Our feet are very 3 dimensional. These fins have a very narrow fin on the big toe side, and a wider fin on the little toe side. This pushes your feet into more of a pigeon toed/inward position. This does a couple of things. One, by going pigeon toed, for those of us with stiff ankles, you get another 10 to 20 degrees of toe point/dorsi flexion. Also, your ankles will roll over a bit and you can use the whole side of your foot for propulsion rather than just your toes. I tried the gymnastic toe point for years, and was painfully slow, like just under 60 seconds for the length of a 25 yard pool. I was pushing off just enough to reach kick speed, not a long power push off. By going pigeon toed, my time is now down to 35 seconds. Also, one thing you didn't point out about this swimmer, he never gets full arm extension out in front before he starts his pull. His arm is still bent.

I am a swimmer, but not a triathlete. Both swimmers here rotate their palms/hands/fingers a bit near the finish part of the arm stroke so the finish is with little finger pointing up. I try to keep my hands as square to the pull as possible for maximum grip on the water. By rotating your hands, you are slipping more than gripping, if that makes any sense.... I do a lot of catch up drill, and always with a snorkel. Focus is on full extension, body rotation, long stroke, "suck in your gut like you are trying to put your belly button on your spine", and head position. I do count strokes per lap, and try to stretch them out as much as possible. I also try to remember to get the little wrist flip at the end. Like being on hands and knees in the sand box, and scooping up a hand fun of sand, and trying to toss it back into a hole 5 or more feet behind you. Most of the time, I just use a 2 beat kick. Oh, the asymmetrical stroke is generally called 'gallop' style. This is far more common with men than women, but Katie Ledecky is an exception. It is a quick 1, 2, and a slight pause on extending the breathing side arm. Not positive why it is so effective. The swimmer also porpoises a bit as well.

Very good vidéo.

Excellent video. Better than my coach, I learned more. Thank you!

Very helpful!!!, thanks

Thanks for your sharing

great video
