The first two things to analyze with Caleb's start is his start stance and the amount of time he takes before initiating his first underwater fly kick movement
He got strong jump and hence a faster entry speed than others. He then wait for his speed to drop to a certain level to start his first kick. If he start too soon, the kicking may slow him down.
@@ithelightr3020 Thx, I didn’t think of the vortex theory. Guess the dolphin kick does not add any speed if someone is moving like 3-4m/second. That’s why he didn’t start the kick so soon
@@saiwolaw2842 do you know that the swim science journal did an experemt to nail your stance on the starting block and it's determined by your own anatomy?
@@onlylunavibes so that the entry point of the hands are not behind you coronal plane, so that you can catch more easily (in longer distance you rotate more to help with achieving this), so that you can up the frequency. This is sprinting, frequency is the priority.
@@onlylunavibesthat and a monster kick. People used to love analyzing every detail of Popov’s stroke and neglected, usually, to also emphasize that he could kick a 50m in 27s with a board
@@jraines002 however swim science has already discovered that kicks only account for 20% of overall speed in front crawl so yes his monster kick helps but there's more speed generated from his lats and upper body. You must also understand that Caleb has a monster start. He's not the fastest "swimmer" in the race

@@saiwolaw2842 the water provides a vortex upon entry, he's enjoying it before he starts, you're right but not technically rights

@@ithelightr3020 I don’t know that. Thought everyone use the same ‘track start’ stance nowadays.
Did you coach him
@@Just_RUclips_i8b nope that's the beauty of analysis - the athlete needs not be under your supervision
How does he sit so high on the water?
Floating

You have to keeping your head down helps
