    My coach has us balance a pull buoy or a pool toy on our foreheads and swim backstroke. It's really hard but I was wondering if you could make a video on that?

    I have a question swimfluence's May box is going to come with waterproof headphones called Diver waterproof MP3 player. I was wondering if you could do a review on them and what you think the quality of the headphones are. I practice everyday with my team but I want to start swimming by myself but i feel like I need music to keep me entertained.

    My breaststroke has not been feeling the same as last season and I have a meet coming up. I think my pull is a little off and the timing of the kick and pull are not together. Any tips on fixing that?

  • @Fisher-wy8zd

    Good drill :) I like backstroke but i think its kinda hard to swim backstroke in a outdoor pool cause you dont have any roof to focus your eyes on and without that i think its harder to swim in a straight line..

    • @SwimLifeGuru
      @SwimLifeGuru  5 років тому +1

      Thanks! ❤️ Omg I hate swimming backstroke outdoors too!!! I never sign up for it at outdoor meets😝😝

    • @Fisher-wy8zd
      @Fisher-wy8zd 5 років тому

      haha alright :) That makes me feel better, hearing that im not the only one struggling with outdoor backstroke ;) The technique i use to swim straight is i try to swim close to the pool line.. That way i can see where im going.. but well... it sure is a lot easier indoors :)

    Great exercises and drills generally all around! I would like to extend my huge support and appreciation for SwimLiveGuru's channel and videos.
    Your dad is very creative in developing new drills and you all work hard to present these drills well with good video and commentary. To be honest, I come to your channel sometimes to either borrow drills directly or get ideas for my own new drills to help swimmers improve and work through specific issues. I'm trying this drill in place of rubber ducks (my version of the cup/water bottle on the forehead) to help swimmers get into proper head position in backstroke
    There are huge volumes of junk swimming videos on UA-cam. SwimLifeGuru's channel is one of the very few that I've told my swimmers they can watch anything on this channel! Without trying to offend, another presenter, coach and swimmer that your fans might check out are the videos made by Chloe Sutton.

  • @andrej4696
    @andrej4696 7 років тому

    It stops proper shoulder rotation. Broken Backstroke - you shoulder is low at recovery phase - that will never let you work on high speed. Plus you stop your arm by your hip - unacceptable on non skilled backstrokers. I would't use drills on video on my swimmers.

    • @SwimLifeGuru
      @SwimLifeGuru  7 років тому +1

      Backstroke is definitely not my best stroke (I always make sure to mention this in my backstroke videos), so it's not perfect. Also, this drill is not meant to work on speed whatsoever. It is a very slow drill meant to focus only on head position. If head movement on backstroke is not an issue for you, I wouldn't recommend these drills. :) My dad uses this drill a lot for his beginner swimmers who are wiggling a lot or doing a scooping pull - it really helps beginners find a good balance in their stroke. Drills are designed to work on specific areas of a stroke, so choose the one that you personally need. 😉
