Freestyle Swim Technique - Breathing
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 жов 2024
- A lot of swimmers don't think about how they are breathing but it can make a huge difference in your freestyle swim technique. Even at the highest level there are common mistakes in breathing. Nathan Adrian is perhaps the best 'breather' in the world when it comes to how he takes his breath in a race. He uses his neck muscles to force the head back down quickly to minimize the amount of drag caused by the head out of alignment. In this video Race Club coaches teach swim drills to help the campers learn the proper way to breath, like Nathan Adrian!

I love the attention to detail at The Race Club: "...breathing every single cycle..."
The coach very precisely states what he expects from the swimmers and doesn't simply say "breathe every stroke" as many other would. As always, good and thought-provoking stuff. Thank you!
You are welcome!! Many more great videos on our Lane 2 and Lane 3 membership. Hope you will join us. www.theraceclub.com.
Very informative video. My son (8) hasn't been improving much in the 100yd freestyle and I asked him was it his breathing or the distance he found difficult, he said it was the breathing. He said he was holding his breath till the last moment. Thankfully we have a lesson with Thomas on Tuesday which he will see for himself. Can't wait
Hi Martin, this is coach Thomas! Looking forward to meeting you Andrew this week!
Very interesting. So they're retaining a significant volume of air for O2 absorption and then exhaling everything from the mouth just prior to a new intake cycle. Makes sense. Sounds like it's hypoxic? I'll try it this week!
For events of 200 or longer, we recommend breathing every cycle. That is more physiological, not hypoxic. Although, virtually all exertion swims are hypoxic to some degree.
really it was awesome l wanna watch it again and take note
Glad you liked it!
Just great!
Thanks. Join our club at www.theraceclub.com.
i have big problem with breathe. Can u show on land how strongly should i inhale when face exit water?
I swim 2 year and still cant swim longer than 100m.
My problem is when im in horizontal position even without swim , i dont feel bubbles and i I dont feel the air leaving my body, but when i change pos to vercital i perfect feel lose of air and nice bubbles. What could it be connected with, or someone has ever met with it?
Don't try to take a full breath with each stroke, but rather a quick exhale (burst) and inhale. It must be done quickly.
What do you do if you have to have a nose clip? I'm allergic to chlorine. Is there really that muc difference to breathing out of our mouth, maybe blowing down?
It's easier to exhale air quicker out of the mouth so I'd recommend playing around with the amount you exhale! But no, as long as it's done correctly (blowing down sound like it would work), this could certainly be accomplished while exhaling from the mouth.
Is it detrimental to breathe out through both mouth and nose?
No.
i heard bubbles under your chest also helps (a little tiny bit) with keeping you buoyant/level - is that true?? (also how does it keep you more streamlined v “the mustache”? )
The bubbles under the chest (so long as they stay there) keeps the buoyancy the same as if the air was still in the lungs. The bubbles along the skin reduce friction (drag). At least that is the theory to reduce drag by 9-10% at 2.3 m/sec.
Wouldn't tucking your chin down too far (for the bubbles to go under your body after the air comes out the nose) make your head essentially "plow" through the water too much? I think Ashton's entire cap is submerged at one point and that's too low. Seems like there's a fine balancing act between the bubbles under the body and the head position.
Nearly every elite freestyler submerges the head after the breath stroke. That is the surge point and with the head under the surface, there is less frontal drag.
@@theraceclub Are you specifically referring to elite men? I see that very rarely in any of the elite women swimmers. Especially the women swimmers who are not distance freestylers.
Awesome Pool 👌
Thanks 😊
Will it apply to other strokes?
Yes. Same benefit of air bubbles in fly and breaststroke.
So right when you tuck your head back in the water, you immediately start blowing out of your nose forever until you turn to breath again? So you're never are holding your breath
No just release some air bubbles from the nose, then burst exhale as you turn for the next breath.
Spanish pleeeeeasse🙏🙏🙏🙏
Algun dia!!
Very nice, but if you are wearing nose clips because of a variety of reasons then I suppose there is a modification.
Blow out hard with mouth.
I notice some backstrokers use nose clips to be able to stay under water longer without going into O2 debt-
Yes, Rick. Some swimmers wear nose clips for strokes other than backstroke....particularly in breaststroke and IM (Will LIcon, for example). One can exhale through the nose with a nose clip on. It is just a little harder to do so. Exhaling through the mouth leads to more air bubbles escaping to the surface and fewer under the body. Wearing nose clip in backstroke has three distinct advantages, when a swimmer cannot occlude the nostrils with the upper lip. 1. swimmer doesn't need to panic under water due to running out of air in the lungs 2. swimmer weighs zero at breakout, rather than 8 pounds or so 3. swimmer can immediately get into a fast stroke rate, since he/she does not need to take a deep inhalation.
Thanks for your comment!!
You have a great program and I always recommend your swim coaching to my swimmers!!
Wow 9.3% reduction in drag!
Huge!
@@theraceclub With 9.3% less frontal drag, how much average time does you save on a 100m if you normally do 1min for example?
