I am competing in 100 m breast stroke tomorrow. thanks for your video. hopefully i will be able to perform this technique. I will make sure I practice this techniquw during the warm up phase.
This is really good information, I used to be a competitive swimmer, but I stopped as I was being pushed too hard for my ability. I'm doing Competitive Swimming at GCSE soon, and this was a really good reminder of what I need to do. Thanks! :)
I wish this video had also addressed the dolphin kick as part of the turn. My understanding is that it is permitted to perform the "A-pull" as this video calls it, only during the turn (i.e. hands may go lower than the hips all the way to the thighs, but only during the turn. I swim recreationally, only doing breaststroke, and always take advantage of this technique to pull ahead of other swimmers that I can't help but notice in adjacent lanes. Another interesting facet of the is the upper arm position. In the past, I have thrown the upper arm OVER the surface of the water, which is flashy, but recently I have kept both arms UNDER the water, and right now it is my belief that keeping both arms below the surface of the water during the turn is more efficient. But the key points of not hanging onto the wall (although you can see in the video that the female swimmer does this, to a slight degree, as her fingertips slightly grip the edge of the wall momentarily!) and using the full arm sweep ("A-pull") are the two most important take-aways from this video.
Is good .... apart from the head lift prior to breakout which slows you down as it breaks streamline. Head should stay looking down at the bottom of the pool until the breath at the first stroke.
I am just getting back to swimming to supplement other exercise, I am reasonably powerful enough when swimming but completely forgot how to turn in a pool without swimming round in a sort of doggy paddle. Cheers for the advice
i will be competing in a 200 m breast stroke race this weekend and this will help my technique, sometimes i need quick and simple reminders before i depend on them :) thanks
If I swim in a 25m pool and working on 50m lap exercise, does it make sense to avoid a strong kick so as to complete a 50m exercise? Does this method apply to my situation?
thank's i am only 11 years old and i take level 5 and there are only 2 people including me and i am terrible at swimming but finally a am better than that other kid and when we tried diving he was way better and i did a belly flop and i got sos embarresd my instructor explained for an hour and when i tried again i did it worse and after the class my parents stared getting mad at me i hate ed diving but u made so much easier and vnow i am a pro
Whew! The professional videographers did a great job. But this turn is really novice. The swimmer looks up out of the turn, her body is bent and her dolphin poorly snapped and timed; her line is bent coming off the all; she's soft in body and arms going into the wall. The list goes on. This is the difference between a truly professional analysis by a coach like Bob Bowman and a well-intened but novice analysis such as this. Both the swimmer and the coach need to grow to reach their potential.
A bit harsh mate. This video certainly helps the novice to do a better turn. You could have at least been less scathing... I mean 'the list goes on' She isnt olympic standard but quite decent all the same.
Here's a video of me working live and unedited with a an older swimmer. I have some with age groupers too if you'd like: ruclips.net/video/JM23oDttWwc/видео.html I do apologize for how quick and terse I seem. If you read a book entitled The Brain that Changes Itself you might come alongside me a little closer here. Especially when the person is learning, the model should be as close to what will help them reach mastery someday as possible. The concept is called brain plasticity. I spent years showing my swimmers their mistakes far too long when really I should have been showing them models of correct movement. As a college coach and now in coaching swimmers in the top three in the world, I can tell you fixing their mistakes is nearly impossible. But it's not impossible, just really really hard. As the coach of over 100 swimmers ranked in the top 16 in the us as age groupers I can tell you they almost always were surrounded by excellent national level swimmers or by video of the same. The longer age group swimmers watch one another do thing incorrectly the more their brain maps those wrong motions and the less chance they have of doing tings the right way, especially at full speed on race day. I suggest you use a program like Objectus studio to show this swimmer the right way with world ranked swimmers you believe have the motions correct and a quick view of their own turns so they know what you are after as you help thek with drills to be better. Also educating them in basic hydrodynamics -- aligning their head with their hips and ankles and toes, for example as they approach the wall and as quickly as possible after each pull is also more likely to get them to perform these motions correctly soon and more permanently. I could have ignored this and said noting, but to me the rank and file coach is just as important as the ones I get to work with in Competitive Swimmer Magazine, who teach me as I share with them. So my intent was not to be harsh, but to be honest and to help this coach learn before teaching. In another great book, called the Talent Code, the author shows research that talent is simply spark and deep concentrate perfect practice. He had written a book about Michael Jordan who was cut from high school basketball team. Imagine if Jordan had no hoop on the basketball backboard when he practiced his shooting. That's very much how we often teach our swimmers. Timing this turn and counting strokes and comparing it to the way the top 5 in the world do it will help if the instructor is certain of the right movements and timing, and careful to make practice accountable and progressive. That all said, what would I do with this swimmer? First I'd have her count her strokes for a lap. And then, without saying anything, I'd have her count them again. Then I'd have her take her ears of of her cap and streamline with her biceps on the tops of her ears off the wall for distance. I'd make tha fun. She would look to something on the deck of in the pool that is always where it is and keep trying to beat her streamline record. Then I'd go backward to get her to streamline on her side after drop[ping under water to push off. Then we'd get her out for a high jump and note to her that she naturally, on land. has her feet about hip width apart and her heels off the ground so she uses not just her quads but her calves. She would jump as high and then as far into the pool as she could before gong back to the wall. I have published a whole list of things to teach and do in just taking off a wall for practice. Then EVERY time she leaves a wall for any stroke in practice I'd have her practice correctly and this will take care of her underwater streamline. It took months to teach a swimmer I'm working with who finalled in the recent World Championships to make this change. He should have won, but he's still making those changes and I'm not sure he will complete them by Paris. One can only hope. What you are doing is so very important. I congratulate you. If you are sincere about being the best possible resource feel free to ask for assistance. Not only I, but many people I am blessed to work with can help you be your best.

How was your race 8 years ago?
how was it?? Hahaha
Any rule if left or right arm over?
If I swim in a 25m pool and working on 50m lap exercise, does it make sense to avoid a strong kick so as to complete a 50m exercise? Does this method apply to my situation?
Very helpful
Nice!
Allowed 1 dolphin kick; use that during your streamline; at the pullout stay horizontal
You have to come out of the surface during your second pull up
😢😢😢
Is it just me or am I the only one watching this right before my heat
ayy i watched this before my heat too 😂
Hi Paul, the 15m underwater (esp. backstroke) rule applies only for the start or at every turn at the wall??
thanx u i needed it
this works and u should do it you just have to be careful when ur on slippery wall but best turn u can do!!!
thank's i am only 11 years old and i take level 5 and there are only 2 people including me and i am terrible at swimming but finally a am better than that other kid and when we tried diving he was way better and i did a belly flop and i got sos embarresd my instructor explained for an hour and when i tried again i did it worse and after the class my parents stared getting mad at me i hate ed diving but u made so much easier and vnow i am a pro
nice very helpful!!!!!
how smooth
Watching this around an hour before a 400IM race. I’m so nervousss!!
Did you win? 😄
Great...except that pullout when you lifted your head straight up breaking your streamline..
Your head went up when you were going to break surface. Does this slow you down?
Yes, absolutly
Why are there no views? O: Thank you! I actually never knew how to do this..
👍
