this looks like the same breathing pattern as regular competition/lap swimming. am i missing a subtle difference that makes it more adapted to open water swimming?
what i mean is, i thought breathing to the side was one of the first things taught when learning freestyle technique, indoor or outdoor.
you too? same here. I've been trying to extend the phase where I extend one arm and get to breath but just end up sinking into a mouth full of water. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
you're lifting your head up too high, which places your hips lower in the water and acts as a break. try to just roll over slightly and keep your mouth just above the water line. you may also be staying out of the water for too long. make sure you're blowing most of your air out underwater before coming up for air. that way you just breath in and can continue on with your stroke.
I think this is a poor stroke, there is no stretch out/glide, the hands are coming in around 12 o clock AND too steep, so before the pull the bent arm has to be straightened out IN the water 1000 times denser than air. just my 2p
@livinfreedom Do you have any tips on getting better at breathing every 3 strokes? I can breathe every 3 strokes for about 8 times and then I have to breathe every 2 strokes. I also end up splashing alot of water in my mouth when I turn my head.
Hi - nice video, especially the slow motion detailing. To me it looks like this guy is over-reaching a little on the recovery (the out of the water arm), and starting the stroke early so that he shortens his effective length, increasing drag. Not that I'm an expert - my stroke is pretty horrible, slow and inefficient!
Hey, whoever posted this THANKS!! I am a 38 year old beginner and a horrible swimmer. I am to old for College or HS coaching and finding a masters coach can be though. I tried his stroke today (Shorter and steeper into the wather where I was long and shallow) and took 15 seconds per 100M off of my 1500.
Funny how the smallest adjustments can change things.

When I try to swim in slow motion I usually sink

Any of you geniuses notice that he is in a leisure pool demonstrating breathing techniques?

why does he breathe so often?

To be honest his elbow is going some what to high and his stroke is being cut short, but could also be swimming for open water is different?

The breathing on every stroke was just to show breathing. I recommend breathing every 3 strokes if you can. Thanks for viewing! -triswimcoach dot com

So he's breathing on every stroke? How is that efficient? What is the benefit?
