Freestyle Rotation: Rock Not Roll?

- How much rotation should you have in freestyle?
With all of the professional triathletes and elite swimmers we've worked with, we've found that 'rocking' side-to-side to 35-55 degrees to be best for most people. Not 'rolling' all the way onto your side to 90 degrees.

I used to swim flat on my belly, ever since learning how to rotate it’s incredible how much easier swimming has become.
Definitely noticed that I'm rolling too much based on the fact that most of the time my hand has moved way down to try and "hold" my head up out of the water. Great video... much to think about.
I feel much more comfortable when this is done correctly, i also feel like my buoyancy in my hips and feet are easier to keep up, also feels like i'm propelling through the water a lot smoother thus using less energy. Great advice as usual. Thanks.
I know my lead arm is dropping and this vid perhaps shows why. Thanks, I will work on this.
55 strokes per minute? I'm somewhere between 32 and max 50! But I'm an old man and on top of that I've had frozen shoulder(s) on both shoulders! Apart from that I think this channel is great-very helpful and pedagogical.
So helpful, thank you very much!! I’m beginning to understand the value and power of rotation! 45 degrees, not 90.
Will less rocking and more straight be better for longer swim time? I've start out at a slow pace and gradually picked up speed. My main focus though is cardio and not speed. I'm pretty sure my speed will pick up the more cardio I build up.
Great advice...I tend to roll sometimes (I can do a 360) yet occasionally lose my balance and start to "panic" if I am at the deep end of the pool and have to continue with either breaststroke or backstroke...breaststroke is my stroke of choice...as I barely weigh 100 lbs, it's easier for me to breath and stay afloat.
Wow that's very helpful que. I'm a novice swimmer and I'm just learning the shoulder rotation. I was struggling with a dropped elbow postion on my breath strokes, I think this way of looking at it will help to improve. Stoked to give this a try tomorrow :)
This is excellent. Thank you.
Thank you, this is very helpful. As a newby swimmer I often feel like an alligator rolling on my back trying to breathe. Lol
Se ve excelente el video, ahora siento mucho no saber inglés 😢la explicación a de estar genial
Wisdom words at 0:44 and 2:27 coined by Led Zeppelin in Stairway to Heaven......"To be a rock and not to roll" 😉
Sooo helpful! Thank you soo much!
Karlyn Pipes lol 😉
Shoulder extension for a reach rather than a roll onto the side.
First heard the rocking term on her video, and tried to visualise the bottom arc shaped rails of a rocking chair from shoulder to shoulder and hip to hip. Helped a lot for me to stay balanced and keep everything in control, rather than throwing myself onto one side and trying to recover the body back
novice swimmer here ---was thinking about this the last time out ---I've notice the newer swimmers like myself in the pool don't rock as much or at all.....are the hips less turned as much as the shoulders?
You don’t want to be too flat either. Hips and shoulders often rotate the same amount, during shorter sprint events the hips rotate a bit less
Should the rotation be initiated from the hips or from the shoulders?
Hips
Novice swimmer here. I’m working on my kick as my legs spread too far apart during freestyle. I noticed swimmer at 0:20 to 0:27 crosses her legs and taps back of lower leg with each kick. Do you have any more info on this technique?
Thank you! Will try this today.
When I'm doing it slowly tho it feels good to roll
I've been checking out Adam Ocean Walker's videos who says it best to rotate to the 180 degrees for best momentum(assuming long distance), given his achievements what do you think about it?
Sounds good, thanks.
If I don't roll enough, I found that I can't make a high elbow recovery. Maybe shoulder flexibility issue...
Curiosity question!
Wich one mistake is faster?
No rotation or over rotating?
Thank you
Depends on the person
Can we send you raw video footage above and under water for fee based analysis? How would you charge?
1:56 - Isn't that swimmer kicking with more effort than needed? Will that cause any drag or provide propulsion?
I dont know if this should cause more drag, but you will get tired much faster that way
Mini-roll. Rocks sink to the bottom!
Did you say 55 strokes per minute? How are we supposed to get a stroke rate that high? Help.
55 is a very low rate, I do about 55-60 when technique training, I aim for about 70-80 over 800m
@@velocitymg It sounds very high for me too... my watch gives me around 26-27... is it per arm?
I started triathlon training from no swimming what soever and swimming is by far the hardest one its so fucking hard god damn cuz running and biking u can breath whenever but swimming is like it never gets easier
So 45 degree rotation ??

How to avoid water when open mouth to inhale
I personally blow out the air in my lung while turning my head to breath which helps clear out the water before inhaling
Hips 90 degrees, so much glide
not everyone is about maximum speed
Maybe not, but many of the techniques that help with speed are really just about efficiency, which everyone should be striving towards.
totally 45 degree， why 10 degrees but not 22 degrees each side？
li yang 45 ± 10
Is that chick sped up... That's crazy.. 😀
basics ..
am i the only one to breath making a 360?
🤣🤣🤣
The girl in bikini was good
