llevo años nadando y se distinguir cuando alguien no sabe...

la verdad es q tus explicaciones no son muy buenas y la forma en la q nadas es como si nunca lo hubieces echo, cruzas las manos delante de tu cara y tus patadas son como las d eun niño de 5 años, las manos entran rectas primero el dedo gordo y el brazo se vas deslizando ... yo k tu no enseñaria la tecnica sino otra cosa

thank for the tips. I should have watched this video b 4 swim sprinting with my friends, who beat me badly because i learn and apply TI method.

I dont mean to bash TI method, it actually help me with distance swiming, but for sprinting, try to learn it from another source

Um...Not exactly an Olympian, eh?

The guy has a few points off and is slightly outdated..

1. The whole point of being a good sprinter is to still have good technique while having the high turn-over.  Technique should never be compromised in any race.

2. The updated technique for mainly the 50 freestyle is the straight-arm recovery/stroke which allows the swimmer to catch the water right as it enters the water, at the cost of high energy output.

Message me if you have any more questions.

I am also a trainer, I try to tip the poor both at the same point in stabbing you down, a slight deviation to the right as you can get very painful injuries
