Out of 200+ freestyle practice videos I have watched in the last four months this is the first time I've come across this particular drill and I can't wait to try it. I've added it to my utube list to refer to. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for this. Will practice this. Started swimming this year. Perfecting breast stroke was only way I have done four triathlons. Know to improve need to crawl. Having some lessons and this video helps.
Breathing out quickly before breathing in is not bad. I’m actually against the technique shown in the video. As long we have air in our lungs, we won’t submerge. If if let the air out of lungs, we will. So when we hold our breath until before turning the head, we have natural bouyancy and thus is easier to swim. Also we should never completely exhale, we should exhale only about 40% to keep the body floating. Fast exhalation and the again inhalation will keep the bouyancy under control. And I feel this is actually a better technique for beginners. (And a lot of advanced swimmers do this as well). Id suggest to watch Skills N Talents video on this topic. Let me know your thoughts.
As shown in the video, there is no holding of the breath and letting it out before the inhale, thus the use of the term "bubbling". My own experiment has shown that its better to let air out in sync with each stroke, and then inhale. This led me to a four stroke breath. Still testing it.
100% - we think all drills are best done at the beginning and end of workouts. Beginning to set intention and stroke mechanics correctly, and end to finish your practice by swimming as perfectly as you know how so your body can adapt to that "good" swim stroke.
will I sink if exhale too much before breathing? or Does moving forward gives our body some floatation with little air in our lungs? or will I be able to float without air just by kicking and catching? Everyone says exhale all your air before you take next breathe will I float or not while moving forward? Thank you
When you swim a bow wave is formed in water in front of the head. That gives you an air pocket that helps with getting air. Also, that half goggle in the water is probably an idealistic instruction. Do what makes sense; which may be rotating more and more side of the face out of the water when breathing in. Interesting youtube video about this: "I Taught This WRONG For YEARS | Freestyle Breathing"
yes! practice doing it without moving (just grabbing onto the wall. Then progress to just kicking on your side. The add it to your freestyle. Don't be afraid to swallow a little water while you get the hang of it. It becomes second nature after a couple weeks of staying diligent!
I run and cycle and when i compare breathing relative to intensity i can say that swimming consumes more oxygen than necessary. I say non expert swimmers try to inhale too much air. And this gives all sorts of problems. As long as you are not racing, swimming is not taxing and heartrate is low.
it's ok to swim with a straight-arm recovery. some of the best swimmers in the world have all sorts of recoveries (whatever feels natural and relaxed). The main thing is getting your arm in the correct position upon entry. We are taught "high elbow recovery" because, for most, it's the easiest way to get your arm in the correct pulling position as early as possible.

Awesome!!
Would really apreciate If you guys upload some videos about drills for stroke finishing
Coming soon!

Just video I needed . Subbed

You don't sink instantly. Also if you are breathing on every 2 strokes, then you won't sink.

great video
brilliant
Great! Do you think would be a good habit to incorporate this drill right from the beginning of the w.u. to relax and get the body used to the timing?

very well ❤
When I breath with half google and half mouth, what is the best way to deal with water that gets in the mouth?

@@joejoe-lb6bw thank you!
I was totally confused when you said, "using only 1/2 of your mouth to breath". I'm supposed to somehow keep half of my mouth closed??

😍😍😍👍👍👍👏👏👏
Only flaw I see here is that during recovery the elbow is not bent enough and pointing upwards.
