Swim Smooth squad swimmer Hannah shows us the progress she's made since starting out as a Bambino. Now she has nice timing and an effective propulsive technique.

  • They're zogg predators... nice goggles!

  • Hi jtomono. Hannah had been swimming with us for about 6 months when we filmed her there. I guess you're wondering how long it takes to develop your stroke? Well, it depends a lot on how things click for you - sometimes it takes a few weeks, sometimes some months. What we would say is that if you're feeling like you're not improving and that lasts for more than a few weeks - then you probably need to try a different approach, drill or visualisation. It shouldn't take years, that's for sure!

  • Hi swimsmooth, i find your videos really interesting, i've been swiming for quite a while, but just 3 months ago i started to research techniques because i want to join a triathlon. I do kinda like the "s" technique, cause this fits really well and i feel comfortable, as i even seen some videos of phelps having a stroke like that, my question is, in order to improve efficency for a triathlon, do i need to develop more squared strokes??

  • It's all about the kick if you ask me... 

  • I think her left arm isn't working well.

  • @jamesteddy22

    Agreed, her stroke isn't quite competition style

  • Hey guys!

    What Camera rig do you use for this, its truly awesome! It would help my coaching feedback a lot! Thank you

  • Im not sure if im correct or not, but I think her feet are terrible.. Im not expert and tell me if im wrong but aren't they supposed to be continous kicking ?

  • @swimsmooth Is she lefthanded? She seems stronger breathing to her left. ( better roll )  Thanks for all you guys do.

    Pat

  • @Mortybf Haha true. I'm glad we compromised.
