  • To swim faster you need to create a stronger support. In our swimming camps, some people have a good swimming technique but cannot accelerate, they just have one constant speed. After careful analysis we noticed that there are two very subtle skills you can improve that will make you swim faster!
    00:00 - Shoulder Shrug
    01:01 - Aaron pulling better
    01:49 - Exercises to swim faster
    02:29 - Streamlining the lower body

    Never heard of the shoulder shrug as part of swimming, so, today in the pool I played around with it. I think it is the Effortless Swimming guy who talked about the catch, set up, power phase, and finish of the stroke/arm pull. In experimenting with this, I don't shrug my shoulders down until I get to the power phase, which is at about 45 degrees of the way through that 180 degree arc that our arms make in freestyle and the fly. I did notice that when I am getting tired, my high elbow tends to get ahead of my hand a bit, so not a true vertical forearm, and when I do this, I tend to shrug my shoulder down too early. Now, some thing to add to the list of things to pay attention to when swimming....
    I am still playing with the S curve arm pull. Haven't made my mind up about it yet. It does not come naturally after years of pulling more straight through, rather than in the S..

    Great input on not releasing the shoulder shrug during the pull. i can see while now that i have improved a bit the catch (still work in progress) that releasing the shrug would result in loss of momentum and body connection. Kind of like winding a coil and then letting it fizzle instead of using in to channel the water back

    Hey! I love the content, but is there a way you could do a diving video??? I’ve been trying to improve my entry but I keep getting way too much splash. I always get the furthest out from the blocks and I’m always the first off because my reaction time is good, but I always have the most splash and it gets a little embarrassing at times lol. Is there any way you could make a vid about how to improve dive entry? Thanks!

    I wonder if you could explain further on the point you made at the 3:05 mark: "If the core is not tight, your body will wrap around the pivot point." I don't think I'm using my core enough to rotate. Not sure if that's why my ribs have been hurting.

  • @TruePhil
    @TruePhil 2 месяца назад

    1. shoulder shrug, arm up upward rot of scap
    2. pull arm down shoulder depress
    3. keep scap up as anchor hand and forearm down
    4. tighten core and stay long to streamline. prevent wiggling when pull
    5. hips straight
    6.

    O - M - Gooossssh
    This morning I saw one of AAron's videos and for what ever reason, I can not get back to it, even I subscribed.
    So thanks for your understanding I am totally inspired to drop a feedback in any of his videos 🙂
    The Vid I saw was about breathing, about technic and about counting the strokes per 25m lane 🥰
    A little about myself - I am 59 years old and I started swimming in Jan/2023 because of a slow recovery from Corona infection in combination with the wear of my patellas.
    When I started I decided to not just swim on daily basis, but to challenge myself to get better very quick 😃Hahaaaaa
    Honestly I had quite a good feeling how to swim. About the technique - but I was totally exhausted after 2 x 25 m in freestyle.
    After weeks of Yoga and Spinning in combination with swimming I did my first 500 m in a row.
    weeks later I challenged myself to get to the 1000 m in a row (even with very little breaks) and I succeeded. I could do 1000 m in a row in approx. 26 minutes.
    My fastest 500 m remained around 15 - 14 minutes
    My fastest 25 m remained around 30 seconds (dying 😕)
    From todays video I started counting my strokes I was surprised to count 20 in the beginning.
    Then - implementing what I thought I understood from the video this morning - I started to take very good notice of
    - how to rotate
    - how to push my shoulder fwd
    - how to decelarate the arm rotation but pull more water und push more in the final move
    - how to kick less
    - how to constantly exhale
    - how to increase rotating my shoulders higher
    and pls don't ask how I was able to follow in NOT THINKING TOO MUCH - and keep track of all this 🤷🏼‍♂
    When I stopped my tracker after 500 m
    - I ended up at approx 12 minutes instead of 14 - 15 minutes
    - I did the 25 m in less then 20 seconds instead of 30 seconds and
    - I counted 12 - 14 strokes instead of 20+ strokes before.
    Final note to self - I have never felt kinda stiff and aching but today I do.
    Feels like a huge lessons learnt here.
    Namaste AAron 🙏
    I so so appreciate you have read all this and yes - now go and enjoy your next 1000 m 🏊🏼‍♂
    Thank you loads for all your amazing work here

  • @brigitteringle3565
    @brigitteringle3565 2 года назад

    I primarily swim backstroke. Would the "shoulder shrug" suggestion also apply to initiate early vertical? Thinking about backstroke as freestyle in reverse... Thanks for your help. (BTW: I'm an older swimmer.) I tried, and it does seem to work. But I'm not sure why or how.

  • @company3076
    @company3076 2 года назад

    I learned to keep legs straight with a pullbuoy between them. First thing to isolate the legs and when you swim with hand think about proper position. (Best way without breathing)

    I have a question about evf: does the forearm needs to be vertical like 90 degrees with the bottom of the pool or is it ok to be diagonally pointed? I’ve heard a lot of different theories but any explanation. The majority of them tells us to do a completely straight forearm, doing 90 degrees with the bottom of the pool, but if we see ian thorpe, or tae park, they are doing a diagonally evf. Why?
    Can anyone help me please??

  • @robohippy
    @robohippy 2 года назад

    Well, still playing with this and have discovered some interesting things. I have always suspected that I don't get enough full extension and body roll with my freestyle, but have never seen myself on camera. While playing with both this and the S shaped pull, these two faults seem to be very high lighted. I am slowly learning to do FULL extension instead of the 95 to 98% extension. Focusing on the catch, the set up which is high elbow and vertical forearm, then the pulling arm and front side kick on that same side are both 'locked and loaded' and then get that power/surge #1 front side kick to go along with the power section of the arm pull, which is in the 45 to 135 degree part of the arm pull arc. Not worrying about the S curve, though a little extra bend at the elbow when passing my belly button seems to happen at the same time as I roll from one side to the other. This does seem to make my stroke count less per length of the pool. Lots more Arrow freestyle in the future, and more of my over arm side stroke which enables me to focus on one arm at a time..... Lots of work to do, but I think I like it. I am not competent enough with the fly to really 'feel' this, yet. I am starting to get the 'feel' of it with freestyle and my side stroke....... Many more miles to swim....
