Kudos for choosing someone with this current pace as it is very relatable. I also commend you on your superb coaching. It feels so hopeful, possible and non judgemental! Easy bite sized pieces to digest and bonus points for including the “why” for each recommendation. Can’t wait to practice your suggestions.
Thanks to the lady for sending in the video for review. Excellent swimming tips, as always. What I'm finding is that as one element of my swimming improves and I become more comfortable, another swimming tip takes on more relevance. I'll be in the pool tomorrow and I'm looking forward to ensuring that my hands are below the wrist and below the elbow on the catch. I recently spent time bring my hip rotation inline with the shoulders - the difference is fantastic.
I started swimming regularly for the first time 6 months ago, at the age of 35. I can proudly say I currently do 2:00 - 2:004 per 100m. I solely swim 2-beat-kick. Learned a lot from this channel
I really love "Feedback Friday", so weekend is coming soon. Thanks a lot for your great teaching and also to your athletes, so we can learn from them! Greetings from Germany to Down Under!
I am curious with what you say about hip position. I am a kinesiologist and decent competitive swimmer (55s for 100m fr), I swim with anterior pelvic tilt with stretched out rectus abdomunis to stay long. When I try to swim with posterior tilt I feel useless and dead in the water. I told a client to use more anterior tilt but you saying the opposite is making me question it.

Feel like there’s a disconnect between shoulders and hips with my shoulder over rotating and my hips under. How did you work on connecting them?

I am a 41 year old man with backpain. I learned swimming last year when i was approaching 40. My time for 100m freestyle is 2min 54sec on the average.
Great advice - I need to do all of that too.. 👍
My two cents is if I deliberately try to bend my wrist so the fingers go down it forces the elbow to go up. Hence the high elbow position.

Can you define an average of good 100m times for beginners, intermediates and advanced?

Yeh would like to understand this. I find it really hard to lengthen unless I stretch out which makes me anterior tilt
Thanks
Thank you!
