@@ellieanneauthor took u sixth months lol but congrats!
In addition to the four stretches, I'd recommend also stretching hip flexors and work on core strengthl, which helped me improve my swimming a lot...
I finally got a 22 in my 50 free
Wtf😮😮😮😮
I’m 14 and I got a 26 on 50 free! I’m amazed too
@@maitreytelang2312 yeah I’m 7 year old and I swam my PB which was 20 seconds 50 fre
@@itsb2189 Dude, I'm serious! No joke. I can send you my result Heat Sheets on your email if you want.
@@maitreytelang2312 what is your name I will look you up on my swimmer
Lucas, I've been doing these stretches for a year and a half after watching this video. Took me about a month to be able to do the MP and streamline stretch, but it was well-worth it. I've gotten faster. Neck stretch definitely helped with breathing. Almost achieved plantar flexion after 1.5 years. Still working on it.
So glad to read this! Wish you all the best!
Thank you for this, great explanation of what these do and how they help. I found your video a couple of days before my first competition and started doing these stretches. It went well!!!
Thank you for this! I have a swim meet tomorrow, and am going to execute these tips!
Funny thing is I watched this a few weeks ago and came back here again this morning for my first meet at CN Antibes club. I recently moved from England to France.
Same! My meet's in 1 hr...
Lidia Proskurina.Im a swimmer too.Can I know what is your club name?
Exact reason why I care here
I have a swim meet today!
Great video, so much to learn
1. “Michael Phelps” behind the back stretch (& shake off in front)
2. Streamline stretch (& bend left, & then bend to the right)
3. Ankle Stretches
4. Neck rolls (like an owl-or like you’re breathing sideways in the water)
Good flexibility in your:
-shoulders & arms,
-whole body,
-ankles, and
-neck
will help extend your stroke, keep you streamlined better, lower drag with your kicking, and lower drag when you breath
Shot man, solid advice!!
Great presentation!
Thanks for your tips
Thank you 🙏 and Special Thanks for recap of exercises at the end of video
Looks good! Thank you
Great topic
Thanks champ. Down to earth advice. Awesome

I have a swim meet today and I will definitely use these tips
I hope the meet went well!
Thank you! You deserve thousands of new subscribers! Keep it up!
Appreciate that! So glad you are enjoying the channel
I started this video kinda of thinking it would be a waste of time. I could not be more wrong. These are the exact things I'm struggling with! So happy that I actually watched the whole vid bc it is incredible. Thanks man!
Glad it helped!
This video is super useful thank you!
so glad it helped!
Thanks 👍😊
Thank you so so much, I don't swim, but I had unbearable pain, no one managed to diagnose. I finally diagnosed my self by looking on the net. The next step was finding the cure. I have been suffering from horrible pain for the last 8 months. I found you on youtube, as soon as I started doing the stretches, I found instant relief. ^ months of physical therapy and 4 sessions of chiro. so far but you did the trick.
Wow! I'm so happy this video was able to help you. Thank you for watching and commenting, wish you all the best , God Bless 🙏
Thanks buddy. 💕 it.
Good advice.
Loved it. To the point, well demonstrated. Thanks
Thanks for watching!
Thanks!!! I've got a preliminary meet today
HOLY SHIT MAN! WOW! 😮 Not yelling, just EXCITED!!!! Because I have been doing these stretches as part of my stretch routine, just intuitively doing them. It feels so good before and after the swim to do these stretches!
Great stuff!
Very helpful

Thanks I been swimming for years, I used always stretch before I swim,
Recently I was thinking and realizing, istopped I got a unimask so I can breath through my nose,
The past hurt my back months ago, but, now my back hurts to swim and daily ,any thoughts to help myself,other then you fabulous stretches.
what ? i had a stroke reading this
Lucas, great video.
But HOW OFTEN should we do the stretch workouts?
Everyday?
Once a week?
?
Thanks for watching...do them after every swim that you do and also every evening before bed...after a while a short stretch will become part of your bedtime routine
Thank you for these! What is the name of the song at the end of the video?
Thanks for watching! Unfortunately it's been so long since I created this video I'm not sure what that song is! If I find it I will let you know 👌
Watching this before 200 fly tommorow😳
Ďakujem, Luki, ešte dnes večer pred zajtrajším plaveckým triatlonovým tréningom sa všetko naučím!
s radostou , vsetko dobre prajem!
Maybe don't put background music when you already have the sound of the water in the background next time? Great video anyways
agreed!!
Amazing video. Definitely adding this to my stretch routine. BTW what is the sythwave intro song at 0:00-0:16?
Thanks for watching! Its Daniel Delux Star Eater
After seeing this video I think what I lack most is flexibility. I mean I have a vo2max of 65, I run fast I'm getting faster and faster on bike but I have been doing triathlon for 4 years and I went from going at the same speed of people doing breathstroke when I do front crawl to still getting out with the second half of the swimmers in triathlon (overall). I'm not saying i have the best technique, but I'm almost as bad wether I swim twice or 5 times /week and I think I know the major points of the technique but even if I tried to apply them, it's like there is something else getting in my way. I'm very not flexible of nature, just sitting on my feet hurt a lot so you can be sure I'll give those a try! Thank you
1 week later and I already cut 5 sec/ 100m, but most importantly I can maintain my position longer with less fatigue
Sounds like the flexibility can definitely help you, hows it coming??
@@siskatrainingsystems9542 I think I'm down to 10 sec/100 m now. On my 200 or 300 m interval trainings I went from a bit more than 2:00/100m to almost 1:50/100m. I think I can still gain a bit on flexibility but at least now when I'm pushing to go faster I feel like I can glide way better on water and I do not feel like I'm only loosing more energy. Before I was just to slow to compete with the best because of my swim, but this summer I did a sprint distance and I manage to finished 5th overall (on 272 people) even though I was 52 after the swim. So there is still place for improvement but still very happy with my progress in swimming. So thank you very much for sharing your knowledge, it is very appreciated!
@@Tomy-im8zl that's awesome! Great to get the update, congratulations!👏👏 Keep building and keep going
cool guy
I have to do time trials today 😬
What is the song playing at the end?
Unfortunately I lost this song in my library and don't remember the name..glad you liked it
Thanks for information
I want to know no. Of repetition of each stretch in one session
Or how many sessions in a day
Plz reply
Thanks for watching! Do after every swim and before bed every night..simply spend 3x 10-15 secs on each stretch
@@siskatrainingsystems9542 thank you
I'm a big guy 260 lbs muscular and my shoulders get so pumped its unbearable to not stop. any ideas please would appreciate it
Hi Pete , can you elaborate a little more ? What do you mean so pumped it's unbearable not to stop? Are you saying you are having problems swimming continuously? What are you major issues in swimming?
Music?
23 in my 50 fly
Me watching this before my 2 hour morning swim set
ازویدیو های ارسال شده متشکرم خیلی اموزنده است
my pleasure!
I'm glad to come across your video. Can a nine year old start doing this stretching? Is it too late to develop this kind of flexibility .?
It's never too early or late, just go by your limit
yes a nine year old can certainly do this and it will help them alot
nice video thanks! background music a little distracting, could be lower
What's floating in the pool?
Pool vac👌
have you experienced olympics?
how many raps or seconds for every exercise ?
It's individual, depending on your flexibility level.. do according to feel...in other words do it until you feel a little more loose than you started ...3 x 10-15 seconds or so on each stretch can make a big difference...try to go deeper each round
Sunday is my compitition I'm way to nervous 😞😞😢
Prepare well this week and visualize success,.you can do it!
@@siskatrainingsystems9542 thankkkk youu😢😀
And im 12 and get 34 sec in 50m free....
Is it worth it?
@@bhaskarhazarika805 that's a great time for a 12yr old...keep training hard and don't give up💪👊
Whats yalls fastest 50 free
Thank you
I got a 21.39 seconds on my
Fifty free
Holy! Congrats!!
Will this make me look like a crackhead as well? 😬
Great video! But what is up with the awful dreadful generic RUclips music?? !
Thanks for the feedback , will have to choose better music....as a youtuber I have to watch our for copyrights!
@@siskatrainingsystems9542 thanks for taking my comment in a positive way ;-)

Dude, Michael Phelps have double jointed shoulders. He is born with it. There is no way, a normal person can stretch till you have MP shoulder flexibility. Not even you.
Thanks for watching! Though what you said is false, he does not have doube jointed shoulders, anyone with practice can achieve correct shoulder flexibility to execute the stroke properly... Phelps was born with unbelievable talent yes, but his flexibility was achieved with training.
@@siskatrainingsystems9542 yeah agree "double jointed" i haven't heard that term since 5th grade
don’t do the flexibility one because this will cause you to cross over if you do what he was saying which can cause major swimming shoulder injury. put your arms in a natural stretched out position, don’t have your arm touching your head
I respectfully disagree Emma, thanks for watching!
