  • Either Sam has gills or you've edited out his breathing. When I do this drill, I find myself getting pretty tired and needing to breathe after every arm entry. Not to compare myself to a world class swimmer, but should I be trying to breathe less frequently and slow this drill down or what?

  • @glazier7 Haha, a bit of both. Most swimmers will need to breath after every entry or two. That's fine, as longs as you do the drill right.

  • wow, next time i should do a effortless doggy paddle drill and post it online too!

  • @Meowws Long dog paddle is good drill to do. It reduces your resistance under the water

  • Great question, it helps swimmers practice the correct entry position with a high elbow recovery. Too often swimmers enter with their arm extended too much or too little, and this drill encourages you focus on the correct position. -Brent

  • @roxsasthesecond ofc,

    swimming is the most complete sport :) you work all parts of the body, overcoat shoulders, back and arms swimming is healtier than footbal cuz you dont damage any articulations into the water

see all

  • swimming is nearly perfect for reshaping oneself. No doubt.

  • @adamyo24 that's bull. I've seen plenty of regular, strong swimmers with terrible bodies (fat & overweight). Also, both running and cycling burn way more calories than swimming. Unlike them though, swimming works pretty much the entire body.

  • @roxsasthesecond swimming burns the most calories out of any sport and if you do this sport year round your body will be perfect
