      Don't do that yet first practice the stroke and swimming straight with it until you can't breath then come out. Do this till you get it and then start doing the one side Turn only with your head to breath Inhale outside thru your mouth then exhale inside thru Ur nose calmly and stick To doing it one side till you get it then do other side and then do both after you get use to it..don't stick your head out of the water it'll slow you down or stop you. Just turn your head to the side till your mouth and nose are out..

    • @shieldwolfminiatures8645
      @shieldwolfminiatures8645 5 лет назад +4

      You will inevitably want to up your game at some point, every swimmer breathes at different intervals. The most common to my knowledge is a quick steady breather from the same side (thus every 2 strokes), but if you want to do longer distances you'll have to turn both left and right, so alternating for a total of 3 strokes. Otherwise your neck hurts.
      When you perfect this you start to "cheat", thus instead of breathing every two strokes you up your game to every four. That's intended mostly for short sprints. At least that's my personal experience. I hope it helps! :-)

    • @ZoggsUK
      @ZoggsUK  5 лет назад +7

      We’d definitely advise you to work on your breathing technique so that as you get stronger you can focus on swimming longer distances, which is very difficult to do if you are holding your breath! Take a look at our freestyle breathing video for some tips, and if you need to break the stroke down so that you can just focus on the breathing, grab a kickboard and pull buoy and just practice getting used to the feeling of rolling your body allow your head to easily turn to take a breath and the timing of when to turn to breathe.

  • @pytys
    @pytys 5 лет назад +8

    there seems to be different catch movements taught nowadays. This one moves in an S shape, but a lot of coaches online and out there now teaches pulling directly back straight. What is the main advantages of each? Someone please explain

    • @ZoggsUK
      @ZoggsUK  5 лет назад +14

      It depends on the purpose of your swimming as to whether the S-pull or the straight pull are the right approach for you. The catch remains the same, but how you move your arm after this will vary. Typically, the straight pull is used when your focus is on delivering more speed and power for the stroke - it will make your stroke faster and is generally more aerobic. The S-pull is a slower pull due to your hand travelling further and therefore is typically better suited to a more relaxed swim, or longer distances. It’s also very much down to personal preference, why not give both a go and see which you prefer?

    • @bendavies9461
      @bendavies9461 5 лет назад +1

      This isn't a true S shape. In a true S shape on entry the hand would be moved out to the side to a greater extent prior to pulling it inwards. This is more of half an S shape, there isn't the movement out to the side on entry.

    When I turn my head to breathe, I've noticed that my front arm starts sinking quicker, well before my recovery arm enters the water for the next stroke. My legs might be sinking too; I'm not sure. Any idea why this happens? Maybe I'm lifting my head rather than just rotating it like in the video?

      @@yhhdiana thanks, I'll keep an eye on my hips next time. I did talk to a swim coach a while ago and she suggested delaying my breathing just a tiny bit -- that maybe I was starting to turn my head and body too soon. She was right -- I tried delaying until my hand passes my hip, and it made a massive improvement immediately. Didn't even realise how early I was starting to rotate until she suggested it.

    Front crawl is one of those strokes that you’d need a PHD in to completely master. I see so much contradictory advice. For example, when your hand enters the water does it enter in a straight line from your shoulder or do you move in more into a centre position in front of your head? In theory the latter position would make you more streamlined through the water but a lot of people say to enter straight in front of your shoulder? Which is it?

    I'm annoyed because I took "swimming lessons" when I was younger and yet I'm a terrible and inefficient swimmer.

    It’s not correct to say that you ‘push’ the water back in the propulsive phase. ‘Pressing’

    Keep your body as flat as possible….meanwhile the swimmer in the video rotates about 45degrees if not more. As he he should of course.
