      The swimming pool where I go to doesn't allow camera.. Can your app improve my swimming in that case. Does the app has diet plan as well? I am just a beginner trying to build correct posture and stamina.

    I changed my swimming technique to a two beat kick and a breath on every right stroke like in this video. Over a 1 year period, about 4 months of the year. I can now swim for 2 hours. About 500m at a time and then rest a bit and then swim again. 20 laps in 25m pool. Then rest. People think I'm a professional swimmer now. These UA-cam videos are so amazing to people who can study something and apply it through feeling your way through different swimming drills. I taught myself to swim from watching UA-cam videos. Thank you. Your channel and skills and talents channel helped me a lot.

    These videos are so helpful. I just started swimming for exercise a month ago, and the breathing technique is something I need to work on. After just one lap, I need to take a break to catch my breath. So, evidently I'm not breathing right. (I'm in good shape, go running alot.. etc.. but this swimming is a totally different exercise!) Is it bad if just start swimming with a snorkel? That seems like it would allow me to keep breathing, and keep swimming without taking break. Or.. would the snorkel-use introduce bad habits?

    • @raynei
      @raynei 4 місяці тому +3

      Just keep practicing breathing consistently and you'll get better. Make sure you're also blowing out air when you're underwater.

    I have a question : I used to swim with one side breathing instead of bilateral breathing. Do you recommend that I continue my way of breathing, or when I do many laps, is bilateral breaching going to give me advantages over side breathing?
    However, bilateral breathing is uncomfortable because I am not used to it.

    What frustrates me about swim technique videos is that the body your parents or Darwin gave you will determine how you should swim. Janet Evans held the 1500m free record for about a decade or so. Michael Phelps's head goes completely underwater when he goes to pull with his right arm. I would like to see a technique video breakdown by body type.

    Hand entry with SMALL finger first to avoid insider rotation of the shoulder. And after that DONT fully extend the arm but pull a bit earlier for the same reason. Efficiency does not equal ergonomic!!! Please make a full video on ergonomic swimming!

    I’ve been swimming for a year now and I would say I’ve learned freestyle pretty fast. Not perfect but I would say my form is really good. What’s funny is I solely swim for fitness/recreation but I’m too obsessed about my form. I don’t know if that’s really warranted. 😅

  • @LostPodFiles
    @LostPodFiles 4 місяці тому +2

    this question is mainly for backstroke, how do you manage to swim straight while doing backstroke, unfortunately i use the roof of the Aquatic centre, but the roof lines are not straight so i always hit the wall or rope. When i freestyle i follow the line in the pool to stay straight. Maybe i should close my eyes and use instinct, but i probable swim so crooked i end up in the parking lot HAHA

      as a swimmer, usually at the bottom of the pool there’s a T looking thing towards the edge or you look for a mark nearby the edge, it’s also a lot of muscle memory so you just kind of learn when, but id say start by looking for a “landmark” of some sort or in your peripheral see some sort of sign that the wall is approaching and then you do your turn into a ball
