Hey dude,
Just wanted to say that thanks to you I have completed Black lake XTRI triathlon. Thank you.
Milos Lazarevic
Legend! Well done Milos
Lucasz is 184cm, not 194cm tall. He is 41 yrs old averages a 1:04/100 pace on an interval of 1:30. What a phenomenal swimmer
What does "on an interval of 1:30" mean? Thanx
@@future_horizon it means he repeats the 100 within the 1:30 interval
I think he is taller. I have been swimming in the same competitions, he is my age, also been standing next to him. He is certainly taller.
buttery stroke for sure. Also just really cool seing a former pro swimmer smoke an Ironman swim.
Last saturday I had a fast IM trainig swim at nearly the exact same time. It took me only 1h longer ;-)
I was in Copenhagen watching the whole race...I am not saying he was one of them, but many athletes did cut a corner and missed the last marker bouy. Nobody was penalised. And also, yes. He looked MASSIVE standing on the beach. He looked like a swimmer. Tall, long limbs and shoulders about 4m wide he had a different body shape from anybody else on the start line.
If he made a course record he probably also cut the bouy lol
How much distance approx. did they cut? Cuz 43 is unreal
You forgot to mention his butterfly’s swim at the end, looks like it was a shallow water! And yes Lov this analysis! Triathletes analysis are the best!! Lucy Barkley next!
Lucy Charles Barclay - ex 10k swimmer turned ironman pro - always front of any swim pack
Many videos of her swimming on her UA-cam channel - ready for analysis including Olympic trials this year - would be excellent to see a review
this is the most esthetically pleasing swimming i have ever seen in my life.
@effortlessswimming thank you from Danube river, Novi Sad, Serbia.
Mate your videos just helped me swim a 750m in 10:27. Fantastic tips and channel. I’ve had a few Masters Sessions about 7 years ago. Such great tips cheers
wow!Amazing time!My time on 1500 is 30.20 mins 🥲
@@FrankP83that’s a great time too 👍👍
@@bopndop2347 just re-started my swimming classes...i will test my time next summer on open water :)
That’s a great time, man
Excellent analysis. This is a benchmark for distance swimming; the guy is so balanced, rhythmical: like a metronome, never breaks the pace with his breathing of sighting. A joy to watch, inspiring and something to aspire too.
Hello dear how you doing 😊
@@sandyanderson9117😂😂
Super informative. I’m new into swimming and love working on having better technique. 🏊🏼
Hello Brian how you doing dear .
🇵🇱 greetings from Poland 🇵🇱
Wow. Bubbles on the hand… I’m so grateful to have the benefit of such insight thanks to people like you who post such great stuff on UA-cam.
Thanks for this, first one of your videos I've seen and I've learned a huge amount! New to triathlon and swimming so really great analysis!
I am really impressed by is kick, seem powerful!
I like to watch and rewatch your analysis again and again, there are many things to be learned.
Excelent as usual, thank you for your time
hi folks , started open sea swimming around 2017 and became a daily hobby for me.
I love water and its effects and benefits on my mind and health .
my observation during rough and shoppy conditions i found maintaining a "proper" stoke is often not practicle or work as a disadvantage to propell forward in straight line without energy drain and fatigue caused by the angle of attack and pull against currents...
which forced me to adopt various catch mixed with dolphin kick in submerged free style swimming rather than a repetative stroke that is more suiting with flat water pools.
noticed that catching a breath while spiraling from belly stroke to back to belly helps in maintaing better streamlined when facing cross current and allows the spine and shoulders to adjust to shanges in boyancy and maintaing speed.
Not sure how this ended up on my recommended videos(granted I am a swim coach), but as soon as I saw the stroke I had a feeling who it was. Swam with him for a time when he came to Auburn in around 2004-2005.
Such a great swimmer. Love watching his technique.
Dave Kirk at Ironman Canada is still the fastest in Lake swim at 42:55 and Bryan Rhodes from New Zealand had a fast time years later at 43:10
Beautiful technique. And it's an excellent (i.e., calm) swim venue as well - had my PB there - except for the jelly fish!
It took me a while to check out the distance should be 3.8km, which means he was swimming at average speed of 5.23 km/hr.
Fantastic video thank you, the next would be what exercises can I do in order to practice all these elements you broke down - that would be nice to learn from you!
What is the song please?
thanks for these videos , all of these tips helps
What is the name of the Song in the beginning??
I consistently swim this exact time to the very second... in 70.3 events 😱
Smokin'. It gives me something to aspire to!
Great breakdown! I’d be curious to know what his swim training looks like.
He is on a German podcast where he mentions no less than 25k a week and during the winter 35k a week. That’s 1 long swim, 2 intervals and 1 technical swim (Check his Instagram, he does all kinds of drills).
I notice that the pace or the cadence is faster than others olimpic swimmers which is longer. He gives 72-74 spm, and others 50-60 as Sun Yang or Mark Horton, who are long distance swimmers. What cadence would you recommend? Many strokes or less strokes and glinding? Thank you
Great analysis
His stroke rate in the beginning too!!! You can see the guys behind him with much faster stroke rate!
Thanks for making this video
thank you for the detailed analysis. Super helpful
Crikey......Struth......bloody awesome 😀
Did he throw in some butterfly?😳😯
😂
Yes, I saw it too, at about 9:53. Maybe he was finishing and already touching ground with his feet
Each Time I go to the pool, I m thinking of this video ! :)
Can you please do Lucy Charles? I really want you to look at here stroke… you have the 70.3 worlds she finished first by 8 minutes..
So much of this analysis is oh so nano.
At the end of the day, Lukasz is fast because of his height, slim hips and legs, large lung capacity, and superior cardiac output.
- it's his big chest and lungs that allow him to effortlessly float his chest more out of the water.
- this would not benefit a shorter swimmer as it would drive the legs/feet deeper under water. However, a taller swimmer has the length to get chest above water, but keep the legs at optimum height in water.
- narrower hips and legs also have less drag.
The above factors make him a superior swimmer.
You can analyse stroke and sighting until the cows come home, but it's the body shape and cardiac output that count.
Exactly. Its pseudo science for me as well. The anatomy defines the success in swimming. Recovery and pull phase are set.
Lucy Charles Barclay would be a great interview also - maybe a cross channel collaboration?
See Team Charles-Barclay
this guy is built different...period.
9:52 he made a butterfly stroke (right bottom corner of a screen from a bird eye view camera)
I think he looks like one of tge best swimmers in the world 🌎.
Thanks!!! Great Job!
That's around 1:03 per 100y! Not clear what the background "music" or sound track is adding while you're speaking?
it's 3800m in ~44mins ... or about ~1:07-1:08/100m
Most top pros can do around 1:10-1:13/100m .... he's an Olympian so no amount of training by conventional triathlete will ever match his swimming talent.
The flexibility and feel for the water is only something you can learn from a lifetime of training.
There are no shortcuts.
He looks strong. Hope I can pull this off in Augusta in 2 weeks. /
Thanks for another great one. You probably wanna turn down the music a bit.
Wait, what was the distance?
how do u get this high pull rate? if i can trust my watch im between 55-60 pulls/min. im by far no pro, but id say im pretty okish for an amateur in speed. whenever i rise the pullrate, im heartrate skyrockets and i cannot hold it.
What’s the distance?
He went as fast as I swim in a HALF ironman lol! Better watch more of your videos!
That is not a human, that is a machine!
I can only dream of this. WOW ❤
Great video! The first 40 seconds is mesmerising. What's the song you've got playing at the beginning?
isnt 43-44ish seconds per 100m a world or olympic record ?
No its 43-44 minutes on the ironman distance (3,8 km).
How long can he do that without pause?
Unreal - wow
Hello mr how you doing dear
Smooth water conditions
great
How is kick
And he's about to turn 40!
It was downstream in the river. But nice swimming anyway! Wish I could do that stroke rate efficiently.
It’s not in a river. It’s a beach area outside Copenhagen.
Why He do not emberge head fully
A 1:48 200 freestyle while fast, is certainly no longer World Class standard. In 2021, the Olympic year, 171 people swam 148s or faster. Top 16 for the year, which would be an Olympic Semi Final, required a 1:45,7.
That's why he switched to triathlon
he swims at what im betting is my swim sprint speed..
How about interrupting the video more often than each 2:30 min with double adds
Can we get an analysis of Jesus walking on water?
The reason you should be breathing on both sides is to facilitate body roll. When we are on our sides, with our shoulders perpendicular to the bottom, we are more hydrodynamic. Think of the bottom of a ship, it is narrow, not flat. By breathing on both sides, we naturally are incorporating body roll movement. By breathing to one side, we are more likely to under-rotate the non-breathing side resulting in ineffective body roll.
Why do you assume that it was a legitimate ironman swim? It might have been a little short …
Quite a few athletes did miss out the last marker and cut the corner.i don't know if he was one of them, but this includes athletes in front of Cam and Lionel, so he could have been one of the naughty ones....
Holy shit, 70 spm? I have 23 spm and cannot break 2min/100m. I guess higher average spm would make me faster.
That’s 46 spm as Garmin uses stroke cycles
Amazing swim! Please copy the author of the music hehehe, also amazing.
Haydn wooley swam 43.5 mins at NZ Ironman years ago. I'm sure Tim Don went faster 2-3 years ago
Music is PALA - Summer Surf
@@samtwine42 Thanks for share!
I think this was a slightly short swim course. No way Lionel and cam wurf swam 49mims that same day. Still great swim
Swimming with class
I think IM cozumel may have faster times due to current
He doesn’t finish his pull on the left side if you watch closely. Anyway easy challenge competing against very descent swimmers
Have u ever done an Ironman ?
Just the one ☝️
нереститься плывут
No one talking about his wetsuit?
If I kicked like that, I'd be finished after 50M
such a result isn't surprising since he is the former pro-swimmer who competes with non-pro swimmers
He swims like me, I'm just a lot slower.
It is unreal to see somebody who can swim 5000m with a speed, you cannot even achieve in a 25m race, lol. Awesome
The distance was 3860 m...the ironman triathlon distance
Copenhagen IM Swim part was easy...
He’s also wearing a wet suit
I'm sorry but Lionel Sanders swims better
🙋🙅😷🇲🇽
Stop using British accent and go American accent
Fake
There has been a bunch of sub-40 min Ironman swims, this is def not the quickest. Put this bloke in a bit of chop and see how he goes then.
Thanks ❤loved the video
Listed as 184 cm on wiki and you’re going with 192 big difference.
@OpL so we have 184 or 192 or 194 or 200cm …. Yeah it’s safe so say height unknown but can swim 🏊♂
I’d like to see some underwater footage of this guy.
Wanna see the propellers?! 😅
Excellent analysis. Would you please remove the background music when you talk in upcoming videos? Thanks!
Note the arm entry vs the other fast swimmers. His are nearly splashless, with quiet hands leading the way after a relaxed, bent-elbow arm recovery. Many of the others are windmilling their straight arms and making a much larger splash with each arm entry. Gotta believe his preserves more energy and allows for a consistent pace from start to finish. Really impressive.
Coach, it would be great if one day you could decompose the stroke of Mykhailo Romanchuck in the 1500. I’ve been always intrigued by the emphasis he puts on some of the technical elements that you regularly talk about. It would be specially helpful for triathlon enthusiasts like myself! 🙂

Dude's pace is so even he looks like he's got some engine attached to his waist. lol
Hey sir am from turkey and been watching your videos for two months i watched almost all of them,i am living by the sea side and i practice every second day,for two month i developed my swim with your help thank you :)) i still keep watchin and go for swim after.. i was thinking that i already knew swimming but i was not thank you again ..have a great day oh there is one another guy too like you,he is also good but you are the best
Thank you! I love Turkey, I once did a Swimtrek in Kas
@@EffortlessSwimming am in bodrum not very far from kaş ve been there too great u were here beatifull sea and nature,fires massed around here but in few years nature will renew it self..thanks
In my cmpetitive swimming phase very long time ago, he already was so much faster than anybody else of his age. Quite a talented competitive swimmer.
At 1:50 in the video, I was amazed at the huge wake behind him. Then at 2:20 it looked like the wake was bigger than that of the boat to his right! Would love to be able to draft off his feet . . . in my dreams :)
Thanks brilliantly explained and super informative, few thinks I have to correct!
And congrats to the swimmer it looked effortless but the speed was insane!
Im trying to improve my speed from 2 min/100m over long distance and I'm obsessed by this video lol
