Yeah its soothing to watch these open water swims and especially his. Whenever I do open water swims (amateur stuff, 2 km sea swim every year etc.) I am basically constantly trying not to get ambushed by a wave from my right side. The coast is on the left. Wish we could get a really calm sea one year.
Thanks for this - ive kind of naturally found that this galloping/2nd stroke stride style to be faster for me but battled with weather or not it was an acceptable thing to be doing after seeing so many smooth, cyclical swimmers and being told thats how to swim
Agree I try and do this in the pool. I feel like it's just way more aero through the water. You kind of just glide through the water bc your head I just below the surface.
I need to find goggles that help me see better. I usually cannot see the next bouy. I wear glasses normally and the goggles are not cutting it. My neck also hurts after a long swim, from sighting.
I really love how you explain steps. But the most important thing I think you forgot to tell everyone based on my experience is that you really need to push your entire body forward in relax feet and arms. I guess the lengthen maybe your way to say push.
That sucks, our government have said they aren’t opening pools until 80% vaccinations which isn’t expected until the end of November. So still another 2 months… will need to binge a lot of effortless swimming videos when that rolls around!
Is anyone interested in swimming in the surf? I thought about asking about swimming through the break in surf and then around cans and then back to shore but I don’t think anyone else would be interested. I have do my run-swim-run proficiency soon. Due to lockdown, most of winter has been been a bit surfing or surf ski paddling. Swam to shark nets and back in a (surfers) wetsuit on Sunday and the water was still freezing.
Oh...I remember ...someone lost their swim caps...but strong cores to sustatin these strokes and its a good example...Brenton R U still racing in Mel 70.3 ?
Thank you so much for making videos related to open water swim technique! There are very few out there related to open water strategy. Very helpful!
Jan’s breathing is incredibly efficient, it’s so in rythm with his stroke it’s beautiful to watch really.

Amazing swimming and commentary. Such a good explanation of the galloping style.
Awesome.. thank you so much for breaking that down
Found that really useful. Brilliant insight. Definitively looking for that galloping style moving forward in triathlon career. Thank you 🙏
Thanks, excellent tips.
Great video
Can you break down Lucy Charles’ style? She dominates in the water and it seems like she has a very open water specific technique
I remember her backstroke turn technique in challenge Daytona championship. very very cool.
She's physically got some advantages, enormous shoulders, almost built like a guy. A background of 100k swim weeks helps too.

Can you make an analysis of Lukasz Woijt's swim at IM Copenhagen. I think this was something special...
Lukasz is a former Olympic swimmer so no surprise here:)
@@lolothedog6159 Yes, exactly... and it would be nice to point out the differences to the triathletes.
And its his rythm
When sigyting and breathing like Sam you time your downkick with the lifting of the chest to stop leg sink
Ah I remember swimming 🥲 (Melbournian)
My local aquatic centre has been closed ad well (since June). There’s talk about reopening but I’m not holding my breath until it happens.

Irish pools were closed for 9 months
first music name please?
I like the music too!
I think the yellow cup doing his timing, i mean that his timing

Did Sam loose his googles here...I heard someone did and I cant see him with any...

@@charlesshin9099 I know Ben Kanute lost his swimming cap during the World Championship in St. George, but that's a completly different race, ha!
why it looks like they lift their head when swimming? is it a viable way for open water swimming?
Did you watch the video? This is literally what Brenton spends 5min explaining… They are sighting
@@DeAbderAbben when they are sighting, i meant...my bad for not being clear.
Wow, my stroke rate is so slow compared to these folks. I would love to get it up to 70 but I just can’t maintain it.
Love videos but can’t make it through with that background music
Triathletes are normally shit swimmers or shit cyclists. Anyone can run.
