His legs sink because he "windmills" his stroke. If he were to stay longer in the water by keeping a leading arm out ahead of him and waiting to catch until the other arm enters the water he'd achieve horizontal balance. spear/skate , thigh tap, catch up drills etc would correct that.
YES... I'm highly skeptical that it's from core or gluteal weakness.
doesn't look like a coordinated kick either - and at a rapid rate - does he need to kick that rapidly?
Yea, and dude doesn't even have an early vertical forearm.
Good video and my takeaways:
Posture:
- get the hips and the heels up to a horizontal position
- head position is looking at a meter in front, between looking straight down to 45 degrees in front
- activating your gluteus and hamstring to help keep and straight the thighs and the knees closer (put a kick board between legs will help the practice)
Breathing:
- constantly exhalation not holding breath
- breathing too high also cause legs dropping:
- ideal position is, one goggle in the water and one goggle out, that will minimize your rotation
- rotate too much cause your shoulder down and lose the balance
Entry:
- extending out your hand a little further tipping or angling the fingertips down a little bit, don't be too flat
Catch
- arm angle need be more wider to around 100-120 degrees
Go step-by-step!
Your videos are very helpful. They are better than most swimming instructors who can not correct the techniques and explain why so-and-so is happening. Thank you very much for these films.
After I watched this video and went to the pool, I cut off 30 minutes off my 2000 yard swim. Really! From 1:22 down to 50 minutes. Thx!
I was hoping to see the new improved stroke for comparison by the same swimmer
It was interesting to hear how you break down the stroke, but I would love to hear more about just "how" you fix the hips. What drills are effective? How would one break down these drills and coach them?
Jesus, have you actually listen to what he said ?
here it is for you 2:41. you 're welcome
@@francychiaramonte talk to everyone like this? Thanks for the info packed in rudeness, I guess 🤷♂️
@@francychiaramonte thanks
Excellent Video! An improvement would be to put links at end of each video, for specific problems that are named in the video. I’ve watched maybe five or six and I am able to cross reference, but links that say which video to watch to fix, say, opposite arm position during breathing would be useful.
This video captures the flaws in my own swimming perfectly..! Thanks for the clear explanation. Can't wait to try your tips to resolve these mistakes in my stroke
Learned so much in this video. Thank you for sharing
Thanks for these videos. I'm just learning to swim, so these are excellent starters for me. I plan to book in once I have some basics down pat. Probably take me a year.
helpful, I think I'm a similar swimmer ---I tend to get tired quickly ---he seems to have a very inefficient, over-work stroke that uses up a lot of energy causing fatigue
if u get the skill correctly there's no more energy used than jogging when u swim. i can swim in the sea for whole time between regular meals.
@@royhsieh4307 I usually can run for 1-2 hrs, but 100 m in the pool before needing a break - still inefficient - probably breathing incorrectly as well
@@RickMartinUA-cam if swimming 100m caused a fatigue for u i think u were swimming too fast, probably comparable to sprinting on a short track.. u r in right direction about conserving energy for longer swims. but r u using most of that energy to stay afloat? if thats the case u should put your skills on conserving energy like u said instead.. u can try what i did, i actually polished my swimming skills by separating my arms and legs training. i would use only arms or legs but not both at the same time so i can feel how to use one part only and improve my skills to give me the best speed without making myself tired. to help yourself afloat the best thing to do is to breath on top of your lungs, which means inhale as much as possible and keep your lungs big and just inhale and exhale using only a fraction of well expanded lungs. if u keep them quite expanded that way u can feel u use less of your effort staying afloat and now u can swim like a kayak or raft. your arms being paddles and u will actually have a better control over the angle of your legs to maximize that push. this way u dont need to push that hard for that speed that make u feel comfortable for floating. after a long period of training in this manner u can improve quite a lot on your efficiency, u can aim to learn how to use drag reducing techniques on your next step. for now try to find the sweet spot where u can swim fast without making that 75%~100% effort
@@royhsieh4307 thanks for taking the time to explain
@@RickMartinUA-cam its a life saver that i am more than happy to share.
You mentioned that you'd correct the stroke by having them do drills. What drills would that be? I am a Red Cross WSI and some of my students are having these problems. If you could help, that would be awesome! Thanks for great video! I'll be looking forward to hearing from you!
Also seems to be a more common issue with beefy or stocky swimmers that have more muscle mass.
You do mention about using the core for fixing the low leg syndrome. One coach commented about 'sucking your navel into your spine' which I like because that takes all of the arch out of your back. Not sure how using the glutes plays into raising the legs. Mine are sore after heavy kicking practice, along with lower back, but this is because I put a lot of focus into the up part of the kick. Have to stretch a bit before I start my laps...
That's me on the video!!! )
I think I have the same problem… can i send you some videos to br analized and also to understand how to fix?!
I really enjoy watching your videos! Thanks! I'd be interested to know about target metrics for swimming, i.e. what stroke rate, distance per stroke, kicks per stroke, 50m time etc. I just often wonder what level I am swimming at and what I should train for.
Lots of variables that play into it. First of all depends on what distance you’re doing in races. Kept simple you can improve in 3 ways. Less drag, more propulsion and possibly increasing stroke rate. Work on all of these and you’ll improve
Great video as usual !
Excellent analysis and explanation -- I see several possible explanations for my own stroke inefficiency here.
Do you have videos on the drills you mentioned to do the step by step work?
We have them in our online coaching membership but I’m setting up a video library of these things which should be ready in 3 weeks. I’ll mention it in a video when it is
I swim kind of like this guy, and the reason for it is that I have too big of an arch in my lower back and a bunch of other serious posture and spine problems (hyperlordosis, herniated disks and such). I can't just force my body to stay in a straight line, 3-4 weeks of drills will not change anything. It took my body decades to shape the way it is. 1 goggle in water and a bit of arm angle change won't do anything.
The same is for this guy. It will take him years to learn to learn to assume correct posture and to glide properly.
I feel, to a certain extent you are right: it'll take years to improve. But bones really can go into re-aligning, given time and special training. Your posture can improve, even when fully grown. Of course, your lordosis won't go away, but it will begin straighten out, in time (Cantienica method)
Almost feels like you have been spying on me 😂 . I can see many of my own faults in this. Thanks. I need to work on my high elbow catch and over rotating.
Really nice video. Learned alot!
Weak iliopsoas? tight right brachialis muscle?
I am an ex national champion and I’m trying to teach my brother how I keep my body on top of the water but I don’t know what I do!
This is a general problem and needs to be solved
First mistake/thing you can improve on 3:14
Second, 4:38
how can I come in for an assessment like this?

No, no, no. Y'all talk about one google out of the water and one goggle in the water. The reason people don't do that is because that's like saying one nostril out of the water and one nostril in the water. You will have to tell people get your mouth and nose out of the water but leave one eye in the water OR tell them to only inhale through the mouth. One goggle out of the water and mouth inhale ONLY.
No joke it is indeed easier. Million dollar question is how. Please stop saying that jiust say how.
the ONLY video so far about sinking legs that doesn't use a fat blubbery legged woman demonstration perfect flat hydrodynamics....if everybody had fat legs they wouldn't sink
Don't understand...
He says his timing is good, but there's times there are NO hands out front of his head. None.
Timing is bad!
Brenton has been emphasizing that more in recent times.
Do bird dogs to tighten up the backside.
I got to where I could float for the first time in my life by doing that, and a few other backside drills.
It's always someone with small legs critiquing big leg people.
not keeping full air in lungs is 99% of the time peoples legs drop
correct, but most underrated comment
i don't know what the hell you are saying the entire time.
Get to the point man!
