He can roughly do the 500m swim in 7:20 according to his 50m time, if he keeps it that pace. I would trust any advice he would give anyone with time like that.
I like that he's using more of a breast stroke kick instead of the traditional scissor. I've tried both, and the breast kick just feels more efficient. He loses a ton of time on his turns though.
@danielkrieger1 This is done with fins in actual missions, it also leaves a very small profile on the water (Stealthy) This is the best stroke when efficiency, speed and stealth are needed.
@danielkrieger1 the breast stroke is more simple but in the long run, the breast stroke will wear you down a lot faster than the side stroke. a good way to find out why is to try doing 10 laps in the pool with the breast stroke then try and do push ups 2 minutes after you get out of the water. then on a different day try the side stroke. theres a substantial difference between the two when it comes down to endurance. :)
@nepsa17 the problem is that i don't know the side stroke because I never heard of it in my high school swim team, but you are right i can do about 55 push ups in a row, but after i was done swimming i only did 35
@ExplorerXofXGibson He's right. What he means is if you try to swim fast you will go slow. If you swim slow you will go fast. It's the same with sawing wood. The slower you saw the faster you cut.
@SNOWBLOZ i felt the same way but everything clicked one time. for me it was basically staying completely on my side until the kick and pushing my arms forward with the kick at just the right time (while sideways). i saw someone post that u get across the pool in 4-6 strokes im thinking wtf? im like 10 strokes
SIDE STROKE.- Nunca contenga la respiración mientras esté nadando, Centrarse en permanecer relajado en el agua. Levante la barbilla para respirar ... no levante la cabeza. Centrarse en la tecnica, y la velocidad vendrá por si misma.
i am going to the pool with my recruiter soon cause i am going to meps soon. i am going to train to be a seal so hopefully this video helps. i am good with fins cause i always went snorkling when there were sharks around so i had to be good at that stuff lol
thank you i did this for a mile in a lake for boyscout camp and the x navy seal who was in the roe boat beside me was amazed but i dont thing that im going to be a navy seal
Can you please make a video of how to swim with fins? I can swim 500 yards in under 9:00 on a good day but when I put fins on I can't even manage to swim 25 yards without getting a cramp. I know what you're thinking. My legs aren't used to it. But I don't think that's it. It's my form. Even when I use a kick board I suck. The problem is that my feet break the surface of the water and I splash water like an injured seal pup. It's embarrassing. I would greatly appreciate any help.
make sure you use fins for breastroke or scissor kick, it will hurt your knees and makes it a lot harder, only use fins for freestyle flutter kick and butterfly kick.
Also, think about pushing your legs down and keeping your but/midsection up.

What's more efficient? Scissor kick or this frog type kick?
dRunKnkenSamuRaI 1 year ago
so what is the point of this stroke? the breast stroke looks a lot more simple and effective so why don't they just do that

I dont see why they let you breast stroke for the assessment.. this side stoke is what will help you save a life one day.
