  • Im a swimmer, im doing about 28sec on 50m.

    My question is, do you swim with straight arms or are having a angle from the elbow ?

  • straight under or above the water?

  • Both.... ??

  • Only know one case of what you could call straight (underwater) armstroke: Anthony Ervin, gold medalist in Sydney. The user yusik has some excellent videos.

    On the other hand, straight arm recovery is now very popular.

  • Really I think he;s so fast due to explosiveness, its not any crazy technique like Popov, hes just really agressive when sprinting.

  • It could be. Notice his dolphin kicks. It's pure fast twitch fibers.

  • For sprinting, the new technique is the straight arm style because it catches more water and thus is a faster style. However, it is only used in the 50/100 because it uses up a lot of energy. Hence why the high elbow technique is best for 200+ and maybe even the 100.

  • I know this video is old now but I do think that if he was more patient with his stroke he would of got more power from it

  • His turn and breakout strokes need a little bit more work, he could have dropped another quarter to half second no doubt. I really like the style of flutter kick he has, very fluid and mimicks the underwater dolphin turn.

  • don't 22 second :D

  • Looks same as me! Only 2x speed up :D

  • @HungAzn

    now your talking about the men only.

    the woman have so much leighter arms than men so they are accually able to swim a 1500m with straight arms.

  • scy or scm?

  • this 17 year old i know went 25 before
