- Are sprinters actually lazy, or do they just approach their training with a totally different mindset? We’re going to dive into what it means to be a sprint swimmer, and how sprint training differs from distance training.

I am a distance swimmer and always admire those sprinters. Both types of swimmers deserve respect for the simple fact that swimming requires a skill set that is remarkable for no other reason than the athlete is moving quickly and efficiently through water. 😊
I don't think it's fair to say one discipline is better than the other. There is so much to admire about both sprinters and distance swimmers!!! 👏🏊♀️👏
Totally agree! The variety involved in swimming is amazing :)
It's obvious : to sprint is huge anaerobic effort in a very short time that requires recover. The art of distance swimming is keeping constant fast speed, gliding, finding balance with breathing, heartpace, and pain. By doing so, my heart and breathing become stronger, and my red cells are building up. Although i don't hurt my muscles as much as if i was practicing sprints - and therefore not building up so much muscles - my intense distance training ends up making me quite good at sprinting as well. I like to end my training session with sprints. The two disciplines are great and complementary.
Great points, Axel! Thanks for sharing - we love a sprint set at the end of a swim workout too :)
I like sprints more than distance because I get a better endorphin rush from them than I get from distance swims. Interesting too, is that the sprinters go so much farther off the wall for their underwaters than distance swimmers who come up just past the flags. Pretty sure when I am swimming faster sets, I burn more calories than I do when swimming distance. I do like to max my pulse rate!
Glad to see that you are using the term 'gallop' for freestyle, and that you recognize it. Now, when are you doing a video on how to swim it?
Sprinters are born. Distance swimmers are made. If only I had a fast twitch fiber in my body!!
Love that quote! Sounds like it belongs on a t-shirt :)
if only the sprinters had the slow twitch fiber in their body
I'm a sprinter💪🏼
I admire sprinters but for me a long glide is magical and I can never be in the water long enough.
I was a sprinter. I loved that adrenaline rush it was crazy
This is very similar to running. Sprinters do everything so much slower and more relaxed. They conserve energy between sets.
I am constantly overtaken by some incredible sprinters (Both men and women) sometimes twice in 100m, and they are very impressive, but I get far more enjoyment from spending a lot more time in the water listening to my music for a couple of hours - so relaxing.
I'm a distance guy and I have a friend who is a sprinter I used to call him lazy because he always chilling on the side but at the end of the day we do the same amount
Exactly it’s all about your pace/density. I did 5k routinely in practice but I was a sprinter and no one swam more than that at practice they just swam different
I’m a sprinter but I also love distance.
I am an awful sprinter. I admit it.
Should not compare the two as in who's a better swimmer/athlete. It's not fair to either athlete, because just as you demonstrated in your video, the two are very different. I think people enjoy watching sprinters best though, because it's fast and more exciting. As a mid distance/distance swimmer, I think sprinters are the stars. Who doesn't love to watch a fast pace race?
It’s true, all of it. We sprinters are like that
What can you say about swimmers who are doing both? Just saw a video about a swimmer trying to break 20 in the 50 while also swimming the 1500. I’d like to hear what coaches think about this particular athlete and if this is the future of swimming
Link??
Is it possible to befcome a swimmer at 30 years old?
I'm a big fan of the races that I deem somewhat in the middle for swimming like the 200.
I’m a sprinter, I struggle to do a 400 warm-up🤪
I love it all, but I'm a distance guy because I'm a triathlete. I spend so much time training the catch and pull and only use a 2bk. Not trying to waste my legs!
To me though, you just can't distance some strokes. Could you imagine a 500 fly? 😅
Since I’m only ten
Could you do a video about Lydia Jacobys technique, because I think her is really different from the others?
Great suggestion!
I’m a sprinter I can not do distance at all
I'm a distance swimmer and I can swim a 400 and don't get tired but when it comes to 50 sprints I die and I am 9
I do both
A wiseman told me one time, "Pick your poison, son. You're screwed either way."
i’m a sprinter sprites on top fr
I would say I’m pretty good at anything 🤷♀️
I have found that most of the sprinter in clubs are clicky as hell and just rude. No need for it. We all started at the beginning.
It inspires me to be better but I certainly don't want to be around them as I'm sure the feeling is mutual.
75's are the worst distance you can swim
lol my best events are the 50 free and the 200 free
Until second 25 is was accurate after that it was all BS
Sprinters team😅

While sprinting why are black people not as good as they are on the ground in the water!?
They are and can be - the issue is much deeper. Check out this article: blog.myswimpro.com/2020/02/25/where-are-all-the-black-swimmers/
@@myswimpro They also seem to excel in disciplines where more free movement is involved, utilising their natural physical abilities. Swimming is much more about precise technique, which is less of their cup of tea.
Distance. The longer the better.
Same here 👍
For me, distance let's me build up to the arc of the workout...the endorphin release...sustained longer than with a h.i.i.t
Sprinting is more tough, holding your breath for a longer period of time isn't easy!
I do admire long distance because of the great endurance they have!
I'm a distance guy. Seeing the sprint squad doing 12.? Sec l/25scm is awesome. I just can't sprint at anything
