What core work is essential?
Loved this one, especially the music, really communicated the zen aspect of it that can make a huge difference
I have taken notes again! Thankyou so much for the video! Super grateful to learn from you
Dude looks so smooth, it's mesmerizing!
You’re talking about my face right? Not the swimmer at the end...

@~8'32" to 9'42" mesmerising underwater footage, looks too easy for 1.10 pace 🤩🤩
Awesome video 😎 thank you for your help! The shoulder bit could be me at the moment 😱
another awesome video happy holidays Brenton
Very helpful, appreciate this video
No........., stop giving such good advises to triathletes about their kicking! If they start swimming effectively like real swimmers how are we going to recognize them? 😁😁😁😁 (just kidding! I am so envious of how strong some of those guys are even without using their legs.)
Great stuff :)
WE LOVE THIS!! THANKS FOR THE REMINDERS!! LOVE THE DRILLS AND NO FUN IS OK TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
i have been fascinated by ledeckies 1 beat kick, so i started as a 2 beat kick. i love it. as a triathlete i feel very very fresh with my legs although my swimming pace is awful, but i have started to vibrate my leg. i dont know if thats a correct word but you can see when she does a kick she is still moving here leg very quickly and slightly kind of preparing for the next kick and just like that little by little without any effort i started to do the same after some time. now my pace increased by about 10 seconds just because of that. i really dont know if that is a balance thing or it helps to keep my legs up a little bit more and tense not letting them to drag as much. i dont know if anyone reading the comments especially effortless swimming. but i have a question about my form. i noticed that my right leg drags a lot of water when iam turning to breath (right side). what might be the problems ?
Thanks for the info/tip! I prefer not to kick a lot when I swim
Brilliant video. Love the focus on rotation and stability. You guys holding any camps in uk
Only in Oz sorry Rob
So what sort of kicking time should us triathletes be looking at for 25m or 50m ?
hi, coach, i can do 1000 meters just by kicking without stopping. In the case where I do 4 beat kicks, I would like to know if the 2 beat kicks are performed on the same right arm?
I noticed most of these swimmers are breathing unilateral every other stroke. I breathe bilateral every third stroke. I’ve been focused on developing a 2 beat kick. Should I change my breathing style or focus on a different kick? (Triathlon distance swimming)
Katie was swimming lopsided. She only breath to the right. Her dominant leg is her right leg, which only need a smaller kick because she rotate less on that side. After sometime swimming like that you will develop a slight tension on the right leg that help a lot on keeping good position, it works like a bouy and foundation for the left leg to flick.
This lopsided stroke feels weird while you swim but it is actually a very fast stroke especially when you have only average build and strength.
In which the body rotates a bit less to allow higher stroke rate. You always recover higher with your dominant arm in this style. Combine that with a strong enter that pulls your body ahead, gain some more length.
The way she kicks is the way its always felt natural for me to kick. I always thought it was super wrong so i prefered not kicking at all which makes things worst. Good to know that this is a viable option i can work around and builde the rest of my technique around
I could look at that guy swim all day!! It is a work of art. :-) Who is he btw?
Will swimming woth fins for a month or two hurt a new swimmer? Specific drills to help with kick
How does Ledecky's legs not sink with such low kick count? When I swim with such a low kick count my legs sink.
Is kicking with one foot okay
I find it so much easier
Curious... seen it done both ways. Is there any advantage to opposite leg to pulling arm kick vs. same leg to pulling arm kick?
no
1:10 pace with so little effort? sounds like a miracle to me.
when strectching my feet to some extent ends up always with cramps...is this 100% a flexibility problem ?
Try using a hard runber ball to roll out the arch of your foot while standing. This can lessen cramps
why does ledeckie kick with only one leg???
Relevance of kicking exercises for triathletes
Great
How come when i kick using a kick board i don’t move?
Especially if my head is out of the water.
Best to use a snorkel so you can keep your head down and improve body position. Most likely that your toes are pointing to the floor instead of behind you. Turn your feet slightly inwards to help with having more flexion
Effortless Swimming thank y0u i will give it a try . I can move when i lay on my back but go nowhere with a kick board
Initiate Kick from hips and not from knees. Your legs should not bend too much only a little bit. Also point your toes.
Brenton, is gym work a must to make one a faster swimmer?
Imo it depends on the person, background, but it helped me a lot, strongly advice you, enhanced my swimming far beyond than I was expecting
I am strongly convinced triathletes need to devote one third of their total swimming training session to kick for the following reasons 1) wound prevention. Strengthening the inside leg should keep tendinitis away (with the right cycling position) - 2) Kicking improves your running performance. In the short term, your cycling performance might not be as good because of rest issues, in the long term it will actually get better than before as you lose shoulder weight - 3) In race, kicking is essential to overtake a contestant. Conclusion : triathletes MUST diversify their swimming sessions rather just doing arms, as I see it week in week out.
Arrgghhh!! No swimming for at least four days .. . Christmas humph !!
Team me about it!
5:32 what is the name of coach you referenced her podcast? I’ve searched Amy jones, Annie jones, and andy jones all with no luck. Grt video
Eney Jones
@@EffortlessSwimming thanks coach, I wouldn’t have figured that out simply because I’ve not been exposed to that first name before. Excited to hear the podcast, I’ve been binging all your content, amazing stuff!
9:50 unreal
I've watched a video of Kara Lynn Joyce. She was swimming with paddles and a pull-buoy. For each catch she was bending the knee and then pull and kick together. Of course due to pull-buoy the movement was mostly from the knee. No explanation so this is what I thought to be the case. It really helps me. I am over 50 but learning technical swimming :) I uploaded the video here. ruclips.net/video/gV70P4lzZ_s/видео.html

We see desktop swimming by your talk.
Make the talk in the background while visuals related to your words play on the screen. Desktop talking is good to teach mathematics.
6 50's kicking??? I'd be lucky to finish that at all. Crap.
Start with fins if you need

You use small kick, it is not kick
Go watch some real competitive swimmer's....at your local club ....if you don't start early as a competitive swimmer ...you can't play catch-up...with technique etc .....as a triathlete starting late ...
