Tras dos años y medio nadando de forma continua, en estos días he alcanzado a saborear el punto dulce. Parece fácil, pero no lo es, debe acondicionarse el cuerpo, lograr fuerza, flexibilidad, mejorar la capacidad respiratoria, y sobre todo estar muy relajado en el agua. Yo lo he conseguido practicando yoga, y hoy disfruto mucho casa sesión de natación, no me canso, y mantengo la sensación de que mejoro cada día, descubro una nueva sensación, una nueva posibilidad. También me ha favorecido hacer calentamiento y estiramientos previos y posteriores a cada sesión. Por supuesto hace meses que me olvidé de hacer largos y mas largos, nadando maquinalmente hasta la extenuación, que es el método de la mayoría de la gente. Nadar no es como correr una maratón, y he sido corredor de largas distancias durante muchos años!
Thanks for the video! I am adept of "total immersion", I bought Terry's book and I watch his video. Now you have shed light on many details I didn't understand. In my country (Romania) there are no "total immersion" followers, that's why I train alone and it's very hard for me.
Thank you for your comment, I will continue to upload valuable content in English, but if you want to get ahead, you can watch my videos on my RUclips channel in Spanish, and activate the subtitle option.
Hi Coach Rafa, Very helpful demonstration as you teach us every time.... Many Thanks... But I have one suggestion I would like to discuss it with you... I See TI technique... The total body is submerged... It is good and help to relax muscles I agree... The swimmer is movinging like x Letter... Right leg with left arm then cross left leg with right arm.... Rotation occurs around center line of neck, stomach and hips... Full body almost submerged.... My suggestion is... Weakness here is drag force because full body merged.. Now if we think in different way... Consider body as a two horizontal cylinders (pipe) Right cylinder is =right arm+ right leg+ right chest Left cylinder same=left arm+ left leg+ left chest..... Now instead of moving like x letter as I explained above... Imagine swimmer will move like to horizontal cylinders or two horizontal pipe diamer of each cylinder say 20 cm... Then now I will Swimm like that... I split my body into three points of rotations... Feet, hips and shoulder... Now my both arm in the water in front of me and I am in flat position with water and my face looking down... Then I will roll my full body around spine line let us say I crawl by left arm... So I try to bring the left cylinder up (left arm, left shoulder with chest and left leg) At the same time the right cylinder will go down... My right hand in front I try to use it to increase area of uplift Then the submerged part of my body will be less then I will reduce the drag force so much and it will be faster... Hope further discussion from u about my suggestion... And hope this will enhance TI... But I am talking from principal of mechanics view point.. But we need to prove that practically... But I think this suggestion needs so most flexibility from swimmer and younger swimmers... All the Best Rafa Mecheil Edwar
Hi, in these 2 videos I show how to do it, but I haven't translated them into English yet. For now you can enjoy it by activating the RUclips subtitles while I work on the translation. 🔵 ruclips.net/video/jD--FdBDj44/видео.htmlsi=rSJSljgM6jPyflbv 🟢 ruclips.net/video/rJel9ZAevO4/видео.htmlsi=QKOj5Qs1a3n1NXux
A lot of very un-TI movements going on. Hand/arm positions are not good. When doing underswtich, way too much kicking. The same with swing-switch. There seems to be a lack of focus on rotation. There seems to be an emphasis on forcing the hand into the water rather than dropping it in and letting body rotation push the hand/arm to the x-y spot. Keep working.

How do you practice two beat kicks? Your video did not specify how to practice it.

How many minutes do you suggest per each drill, coach? Thanks so much for this video by the way.
Veo los videos hasta en inglés!!😂❤

So many drills vs the book
If a picture is worth a thousand words, a video is worth gold.
still sinking when take a breath..
