He said in an interview he is trying to be as relaxed as possible so maybe thats why. Just look at a cheetah running it is also very relaxed. Atleast thats what he said in an interview

Thorpe is not sprinter, he is distance swimmer, sometimes he swam 100 free. Dressel would destroy win in every race except maybe 200 free.

In 50m freestyle swimmers dont breathe.

wrong thats caeleb dressel

Who’s gonna tell him?

Me…. It’s the same race twice, but from different angels It takes him about 20 sec to do the 50

@@charleythora4037 oh fuck… i see now

@@charleythora4037 21*

the fact that the person next to him took those breaths but still manage to stick with dressel is impressive

@@jovantap2144 some prefer to take more air, even tho it creates resistance with the water, some feel stronger when entering air in their lungs

This is a great advantage! Air keeps you above water! But to do it requires a healthy mind and heart!

@@radmilastamatova3673 it also requires healthy mind and heart...? Please elaborate

​@@TheMehulkhanna I mean, it's pretty self explanitory, but to do what Dressel does, you need a mentality of steel at the time of the race, and you need a strong/fit body to perform.

HOLDING his breath along such a 50 meter effort is something which seems alien to me; I wonder how can anyone even do it during a race !!!

Not seeing breathing timing could be because hes doing a 50m sprint and pretty much all Olympic level 50m freestylers hold their breath to maintain optimum streamlining.

@@alexcave7573 Oh, ok, thanks for that

Ooyy Ganja

That's what I thought too. :-D

Same.

There must be a reason for that. Your body is a bit more inclined when looking forward, and maybe that’s a strategy to do stronger strokes when sprinting. For long distances it’s important to glide well so you shouldn’t rly look forward, but when sprinting it’s a different strategy

You see that more in distance swims

Before you can catch arm full of water you need to glide. How would a beginner swimmer knows if he or she can sets up the catch if you are spinning your wheels? Slow is smooth, smooth is fast. Go watch the best swimmers in their warm up. You will see a glide. Theres a difference between sprint and distance swimming.

My trainer told me it's to learn to depend on your leg stroke more so than your arm catch. It does make a lot of sense to someone like me that doesn't utilize leg strokes much at all in long-distance sessions.

Sun Yang literally uses the technique you described! It's important for a swimmer to learn distance per stroke (catch up free) before shortening down to a shoulder driven stroke.

@@dropdeadsprinterevan Not in any of the videos I've seen in the past.

I think it's sprinting here. it would not be a good technique for efficient long-distance swims. (still better than mine of course ,)

The right wrist drop after catching phase is interesting to watch and a bit unusual for a World /Olympic champion but he's still insanely fast.....

very interesting your comments before guys, actually I'm as surprised as you, I expected to see a cleaner technique but apparently that's enough to be Olympic champion, I have the impression that he does the opposite of what we are trying to do haha

@@maxhim64 he just slams through the water with incredible power lol

@@Beyondthebreakers yes it is sure that with slow motion it is difficult to realize this

his dive is above phelps level bro

he"s the best freestyler in the world

No, Not how you sprint anymore,
