[piokow]

can someone explain what's going on with his right leg at 40s? seems he just keeps it in the water... ;)

@piokow you must maintain high elbows,dropped elbows tend to increase drag tire you more however,it is more powerful.

I meant to search for a Freestyle Rap improvement video. Not what I expected.

I noticed that I don't fold my arms in water and I keep them almost straight during the strokes. Is it bad and does it affect my swimming speed ?

[callemout22]

@piokow, I thiiiiink he may just have a leg cramp or something, I do the same thing. Maybe I'm wrong though(:

@marilou7itgr you must found out that yourself, depends how big is your lung capacity and your fitness condition, i usualy breath on every 2-3 stroke

[Swmrsue]

@MrDevil2000 yes breathe in through your mouth, and try exhaling out your nose in a relaxed easy breath...

[MrDevil2000]

when I try to breath water always get in my nose :-(

how r u supposed to breath to avoid this?

should I breath from my mouth instead?

i would like to join the pole shift survival group or start the new one.

@marilou7itgr It's always better to breathe every 3 strokes...To develop balance in the water and to be able to breathe confortably to the both sides...After you got that mastered you can breathe every 2 strokes to one side for let's say 50 meters, and to the other side for another 50 m...

[GMZTORP]

@piokow Different swimmers have different breathing, kicking, and stroke patterns and techinques...You got to find your own rythm and the technique you are most confortable with...I think that's just a confort thing for him, makes it easir to coordinate with the arm stroke for him...Hope it helped.
