I can do similar with my feet when I swim. But when I play basketball, I always snap my anckles. So either you stick to swimming or play basketball only
see whales did come from land animals, they have the exact same up and down motion for swimming. every single fish sways there fins to the side not up and down.
you guys realize this is what every other swimmer at the sectional/jr national level can do.. Its no big deal, now the speed, well only he can, but technique wise alot of people can do that
I've learned so much from watching these videos. Watch, swim, swim, swim swim, swim... and watch again. Technique and practice. I find that after watching these my body knowledge in particular strokes is much much better.
for those who can master the Dolphin kick, they know it's faster than swimming. Checkout this vid Hill Taylor a Texas swimmer, who dolphin kicked 50 meters at a faster than world class pace. search "Win is winning! " link wont post..
Racers go deep to avoid the turbulent water above that was created when they swam near the surface before the turn. They also do not stroke until they're close to breaching.
@triplacebo yeah im a swimmer too just got done my season. But when i go out of a flip turn my stroke gets screwed up going that deep. I dont skim the surface but i make sure im close so the weight from my hand to the surface isnt slowing down my stroke. I guess its different for all swimmers im a free sprinter so maybe it depends on the event.
@martythamoose Well yeah, technically you can't do that, but I don't think they meant that you can squeeze in more gas into them lol. By improving lung capacity they meant you can hold your breath longer
Hi guys, i started swimming about 18 months ago and can do 400m in about 5.45 (free) im looking to get down to 4.40, but iv just learned to flip turn, how much would that likely take off the 5.45 (doing touch turn)? Any help appreciated!
@percdann thats pretty good but im not sure the flip turn will help that much because its long distance. i wud say it cud cut off a good 10 seconds if u have them down and dont exhaust ur breathing pattern after each turn
@percdann ummm ur in pretty good shape already, u prolly have really good lungs. but try flipping and seeing how long u can hold ur breath and keep ur strokes consistent.
@ZiGzAgDiZzY yea its cuz his ankles are just ridiculously flexible. oh my lord, good thing he's not a basketball player, be out with a sprained ankle every other play.
@martythamoose its not the diaphragm, learn biology, its about number of alveoli in ur lungs where the gas exchange actually takes place... and they burst in smokers, thats why those cant breath, not because their lungs shrink
So absolutely everything i have heard from pearl divers and professional coaches is wrong? So how do people get better underwater? The reason pearl divers die early is becasue their lungs are too big.
@junkevin, this used to happen to me when my turns were WAY too deep. I would often hit the bottom of the pool and would have to rise at a steep angle to breathe. It could also be cardio and lung capacity and all that technical stuff.
keep pushing yourself to not breathe even though you wont like the feeling but you will notice improvement your body will get stronger and more efficient
His book says he was squatting over 300lb's x10-20 at a time to build stength/power on his turns on top of greuling core training for his dolphin kicks, so that's anything but weak mate
no, actually it helps him get farther in front, check out him vs beiderman. he uses the longest turns and always beats out biederman for like a second
Swimmers are most hydrodynamic underneath of the surface. Thus underwater dolphin is the fastest method of traveling in water. This is why swimmers are limited to at most 15 meters underneath the surface in a race.
Front crawl is actually faster than underwater dolphin. That's why you're supposed to pop up sooner when racing front crawl. Underwater dolphin is good at helping to sustain the momentum generated from pushing off the wall with a lot of force, but it becomes less effective as that energy dissipates.
