The Science of Swimming Faster: Transitioning Power
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2024
- Building constant power in Freestyle means that you don't have to work as hard each time you take a pull. The energy you've generated from the pull before should help you transition and gain more momentum in the next rotation. However, many swimmers tend to miss this key component by releasing the energy in their finish. Instead of pushing the water or energy back behind you, carry it with you by leading your recovery with a high elbow position.

Great video! I've watched hundreds of videos, but no one mentioned that! Thank you, Coach Chris. Very appreciated.
Glad you found it helpful. I can’t wait to hear this changes your swimming.

Surely. I will.
I have dyspraxia, and it took me 10 (on and off) years to be able to swim. Actually, it took me more to be able to move in the water than to swim. :-)) Now I am 53 years old.
Finally, since June 1st, I have started swimming in open water without any technique but consistency!
I started swimming in the pool by teaching myself techniques every day for at least an hour, an average of 1.45 minutes or more.
Yesterday, I won my first medal as a number one in 25m in 29 seconds. That made me even more encouraged to do better. Hopefully, after recording myself the way you describe or buying a camera, I will send it to you and see how we could work together.
I know I am too old to learn to swim correctly and so passionately, but I can't help it. There is a fire in me. Even if I don't want to swim, sometimes that fire drives me to the pool every day.
Fantastic!
Glad you like it!
😊👍🏼
Sooooooo manyyyyyy tthhaannkkss for the lovely instructional video. But had been it practically in water 🌊💦 it would have been much more better to understand and apply.
Thank you for that. In our newer videos, I’m trying to show more in water examples for each topic and will continue to try and give more visual detail.
Thank you 🙏 👍 very much 👍 @@BetweenTheLaps
No problem! Just doing my part to keep the internet filled with gratitude-one thank you at a time!
Wow! Mirror is an idea!
Mirrors can be really helpful. Especially if you don't have access to a waterproof camera for recording.
@@BetweenTheLaps you have inspired me to discuss that with my coach and to start recording) thank you🤩
Happy to review any recordings you end up getting.
@@BetweenTheLaps@BetweenTheLaps Oh, wow, That is very generous of you, Coach Chris; thank you very much.
How do I record myself while swimming?
There are several options to do that. The easiest is to use a smart phone. If you have access to a GoPro, then those are amazing for underwater views. But not necessary.
@@BetweenTheLaps, I will try it for sure. Thank you so much, Coach Chris.
