The „early vertical forearm“ is just the holy grail of swimming at this point 🏆 🙌🙌
I am just a casual fitness swimmer, but I really learned a lot from this video because I had never previously heard about the vertical position for the forearm. I can really feel the difference. Thanks!
So glad it was helpful! Keep up the good work :)
Your way of explaining is just awesome Man🤟
We can learn many details from every single video
i've seen hundreds of videos on technique, but this one made it click for me. thanks!
Bro where were you when I was a competitive swimmer 20 years ago??? This is so good
It's all good, but no one ever mentions that these movements are generated in the belly: using the power of the abdominal muscles help to control these arm movements along with using the resistance from the water itself. Tighten your belt (as my Pilates teacher would say) and see if it makes any difference.
I'm almost 53 and love swimming ... we're never too old to learn new and different tips to enjoy it and help our performances 😁👍🏼
same age here 😂😂😂
Started a year ago at 64. It's part of my anti-aging arsenal. I totally agree with you.
@@jayp8798 😁👍🏼 hope you keep enjoying swimming 😘
@@terrysykora918 I think it's as vital for mental as well as physical health 😁
Awesome explanation! Clears things up for me, thank you
Finally! A swimming tutorial using metric measurements haha. I'm 40yo this year and looking to substitute some of my running sessions for swimming instead, due to its low impact nature. Fingers first, 1/2 metre directly in-front of the shoulder, thanks! I haven't done lap swimming since I was a teen, so hopefully it doesn't take too long to get my technique down.
You got this! Technique is the foundation of a smooth, injury-free stroke, so keep thinking about it :)
@@FaresKsebati Thanks! When I was playing football I could run sub 5min/km for 5km, so the goal is to one day swim the equivalent of that, whatever that is? haha
I had just realized that I need to reach further out once my hand is already in the water, and I have made such a better change.
Awesome! Thanks for this tip!
There really are so many components that all need to come together. I will focus on this tomorrow.🏊♀️
Wow, you a explained that Cristal clear. I am on rehab and the demo just makes me understand what I did not get till now with the freestyle catch. THANKS. POWERFUL.
Thanks I needed to see this video. Now to test the technique. ❤
Glad it was helpful! Good luck and have fun :)
Awesome demo Im a former competitive Breastroker As a masters swimmer at 57 years old I've got my 50m breastroke back down to just under 40 seconds I would love to get my breastroke back to 35 seconds Any good tips for reclaiming my youth speed? Cheers
Breaststroke kick drills really helped me in the past..1 pull/2 kick, using find with fly kick with Breaststroke, breaststroke kick on your back
😢😢 After several years of learning to swim, I'm still trying to get up the confidence to let go of the floatation devices😢😢. One day I guess. One day.😢
Never give up! You have the determination to let go of the float - and you will 😊Baby steps. Trust in yourself. You got this 😎💪
That's quite the pool there...
Thank you so much
Thank you very very helpful!! ❤😊
I really like your technic
Thanks for tip
Very good info.. Will try to apply & hope to get good results.. Cheers
Good luck and happy swimming!
This is totally evolutionary, you evolved swimming!
Ok. So your buddy on Skills and Talents believes the S shape pull is the correct way to go. Based on videos of Kyle Chalmers for example. The Straight pull vs S pull seems to be something that goes in and out of fashion in the last century or so. My hunch is that few swimmers actually pull directly back in a straight line regardless of intent. You have to change path at the back of the stroke slightly to clear the hips in any event. Might be a good topic for a video at some point! Maybe you’ve done it already? Maybe a video debate with your mate from the other channel?
do backstroke next please!
Most useful video I've seen, tnx bro, i look like a confused duck in the swimming pool but that about to change😊
"Keep those elbows high!"
Great explanation. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful! Happy swimming :)
Thank you
What is name of the brand of your goggles?
Tried it out! It works really well!
Glad it helped! Keep up the good work!
Wow this is what I am struggling with. Thanks for the demo on dry land❤
Happy to help! You've got this :)
Thanks for the video 👍 . I tried using the vertical forearm technique and ended up with tennis elbow. Could you tell me why? Lack of strength, using the wrong muscle group etc? Thank you
Thank you I'm from Sardinia grow up closer to the sea but I never learned how to swim I can like a dog or on my back like a squid 😂 this kind of videos make me feel like to finally learn how to swim
I tried it and it worked
What is your 100 meter free time?
I kept thinking about the vertical forearm until I realised it is a perpendicular
Can I do this with a bad shoulder?
Thaks very clear
useful info
Are these Magic 5 goggles ?
i dont know man, I saw a lot of different versions and opinions on YT about this subject..other teachers are saying when you catch water, you should then curb your hand as it passes close to your body, not keeping it straight as it mentioned here
Good one
thanks
May I know Which swimming goggles are you using ?
They're from TheMagic5!
Am lifeguard and I love swimming but I don't know why my left hand is hard for me to move 😢 because it's always heavy 😔
You are 💎
Omg tysm i literally have Districts today to see if i make it to the state championship 0-0....help
Breathing problems 1-2 days. Don't get water in your nose. Headstand position after finish swimming and use nose clips. Don't swim fast
Luther Vandros!!
Is that AWU?
Fingers open or close ??
My left shoulder hates the EVF😢
😆
I'll twist my elbow!😢
My hands don't bend like that
لو يوجد ترجمة بالعربية لم أفهم كل شيء
And again, I'm taught different, my PE teacher taught me the same way in the video, but, a triathlete is telling me to slap the water😅...
Definitely dont slap the water
😢
이형은 꼬툭튀가 전혀 없넹
❤
Did that and had a sore shoulder. Its impossible to swim this way, if you are not stretched. Old age swimming newcomers better start from less demanding technique and do the stretching.
And we also hear about the least traumatic sport from every corner. Which is not true.
You two wimps lol😂
Fino ad ora, non riesce ad alzare la testa per respirare e si sente come se stesse affondando nell'acqua
Ok, about to say everything you said was wrong. (Disclaimer, there are obviously different ways to swim, but as a top ten in Colorado age group swimmer, I do it much differently) so the most important thing is power. To get power, you extend your shoulders and get lots of power from your core, while engaging your whole body. This doesn’t necessarily mean straight arm freestyle, but if you are staying long and strong, you’re not daintily sliding your hand in the water. You’re not slapping it, but it’s not a gentle sport. As for the Dow pull under the water, by doing the paddle thing you ruin all of the power, drawing it from only your arm and shoulder instead of your body.
florian wellbrock's freestyle is pretty much what the video is talking about, seems to work just fine for him and other distance swimmers
This is more 200 400 and 1500 pace free technique, straight arm is used for more sprint events. He’s is teaching how to swim efficiently while you are saying how to swim with power like you said. No human is capable of holding the high octane technique you are talking about for basically over a 100 if they do it right. Great job apparently being top 10 in your age group but don’t be so cocky next time
What goggles are you wearing?
They're from TheMagic5!
Is he on a cruise shop?
Nope! This is the Ft. Lauderdale Aquatic complex :)
Oooo
Do you have a breaststroke version of this?
15 dias de adaptação só?? Charles ta brincando ??? Quero que ele ganhe esse cara mais que tudo. Pow, mas 15 dias em um local que é diferente de tudo...pelo menos é o que " vejo falarem". Mas bora confiar no trabalho de sua equipe. 😊
You mean front crawl. Drives me crackers. Free style is an event. Is that pool Ft Lauderdale?
Thank you
Can I do this with a bad shoulder?
This type of pull might take some getting used to with a weak shoulder, but it is the best pull for your shoulder in terms of preventing future injury!
@@FaresKsebati thanks you see I am a para swimmer and this stroke I find most challenging I had Also a epilepsy brain surgery a year ago in the process of recovery I was going through domestic abuse… THIS COMEBACK IS PERSONAL
Are these Magic 5 goggles ??
Yes! Good eye 👀
@@FaresKsebati 🙂😉 thanks 🙏
❤
Thank you
