My pleasure! Sorry you had to wait 8 minutes to hear the shoutout. Big fan of you podcast as you might've concluded from the video. Will be taking more inspiration from those stories so more shoutouts to come.
Question for you two gentlemen of swimming! At what point do individual modifications to standard strokes become "illegal" by Olympic standards? Are these rules for strokes different by Paralympic standards? How far can pros push this? I ask because my favorite stroke is a hybrid one: free arms with a fly kick on each arm stroke. Powerful. Other than that in regular free my legs always just kinda "Ledecky". (I competed summers all strokes/formats as a kid-teen 8-18, so I've had plenty of coaching and time to sc around lol) Not that I'm at all competing any more! I'm 60 now just enjoying the hell out of being back to the pool, analyzing my strokes and curious... Would my stroke be illegal in freestyle competition?
@@andreawallenberger2668 I believe the only ways to get disqualified in freestyle is 1. A false start 2. Staying underwater past the (usually) red laneline markers 3. Pushing off the bottom of the pool 4. Pulling on a laneline and 5. Not touching the wall on a turn. In a freestyle event, you can do any stroke you want, but the “frontcrawl” is what everyone does because it is the fastest
The idea of letting your body choose what technique for you was a GAME CHANGER FOR ME! I spent so long using play book swim techniques that didn't make me feel comfortable but switching things up with A LOT of practice made the difference.
2:15 this is what makes a great coach. it's why people like dirk nowinski became great. because the coach didn't say "you're 7', you can't shoot 3s." instead, he let his athlete be himself. bad coaches, like the ones i had, try to mold athletes into "traditional" roles and techniques
As a former swimmer. Trying to improve during those times was one of the most frustrating things I've ever done (and I'm now 30 yo). Each coach had a different technique. Each athlete had a different opinion.
At the 2000 Summer Olympics, Klim set a world record (48.18) leading off the 4×100 m freestyle relay. Micheal Klim was a straight arm freestyler. Pretty sure he trained with Alexander Popov at the AIS.
Just amazing video I have noticed that around 2007 / 08 people started swimming with straight arms. Not only Busquet and Cielo as mentioned here, but same thing started at the same time around the world: sweedish Steffan Nystrand and the aussies, specially with Aemon Sullivan. South African Schoeman and the other french Alain Bernard did the same. Cool video
Wow! I didn’t know this story. It’s a good one! Thanks for sharing it! I swam with a guy who went on to swim for Auburn. He was the best swimmer I ever had the privilege of swimming next to even though it was only for a year. His first 50 of big practice sets was faster than my fastest 50 ever. 😳
Hi there. Greetings from Brazil. And how about the 2008 olympic 4x100 freestyle relay video? Have u done it? Thats the most amazing, incredible and outstanding relay event i have seen in my entire life. It may be the most exciting one in all history. Thanks in advance
I don't understand anything about swimming (so you are right for sure about the "new" technique) but I remember Roma 2009, it can't be a coincidence who every race was a WR (someone still resists today) and that the polyurethane supersuits are removed after that world championship (sorry for my "eng"). In short; you're sure polyurethane supersuits didn't help break down the 21sec barrier more than the technique?
arm speed under water has to be equal or faster than body speed ,if you don t want to create an eccentric contraction and excessive load on the shoulders muscles and tendons, same as speed kayak stroke
Thank you im liking swimming again. Have u reviewed the form smart goggles? I sorted out nasal polyps with nasal spray and I sleep a lot better now so im confident in recovery between swim session once pool opens.
The coach probably used "You will break the 21 second barrier" in his introduction. Like "Hey. Nice to meet you. You will break the 21 second barrier."
Any good coach knows that the same 'cookie cutter' techniques don't work for every one they coach. We are all different, and some of us are more different than others. One of the reasons I like Raul, is that he encourages you to try different things rather than cookie cutters. This sets him apart from other swim channels.
I really love how you make your videos. If you don't me asking...which video editing software do you use, and where do you source your music/sound effects from? I'm thinking of growing my channel.
I’m new to your channel. I don’t know if there’s already a video about crossing legs kick. When I used to swim, I would do the kick sometimes crossing my legs. I knew back then that it wasn’t optimal, but it felt more natural to me, less tiring and I was also faster while doing it.
Things go in cycles...you need the luck of genetics, perseverance, and training to all align at the right time...the good thing about history (and also the bad) is that it repeats.
Hi man, but doesnt the use of supersuit somehow jeoperdize their achievements? Biedermann record should also be ignored, with all the respects to him and Cielo but mostly - respect to all swimmers now who try to do it the right way :)
But something important to note that regardless of technique, the super suits they wore were directly responsible for shaving off the extra time needed to break those particular time records.
Hi! I now that you speak spanish. I speak it too, so I am going to speak in spanish. En algunos vídeos, has puesto algunos trozos de ti compitiendo. Yo también compito en natación, y me gustaría que me dijeses, simplemente por curiosidad, Cuál es tu mejor estilo, si eres fondista o velocista, y Cuál era tu mejor prueba, y tu prueba favorita
@@SkillsNT A pesar de que ya no compitas, se nota que lo has hecho, explicas todo muy bien, de forma concreta. Felicidades por tus vídeos!!! Pd: coincidimos en una prueba jaja. A mí también me gustan mucho las pruebas de combinado, que en España las llamadas de estilos, tanto el 200 como el 400.
For every coach capable of thinking outside the box, there are 10 conventional, uninspired coaches. I recall very vividly a day in swim practice at the YMCA (very informal group, we did not compete at meets) we had a race from one of the pool to the other. I did my freestyle with straight arms splashing like crazy and was the first to the wall, but afterward the coach was talking to us on the deck and said, "what was that? I know you know how to do it right by now!"

Those documentary-style videos where you combine historical facts with technique analysis are extremely nice to watch.
VAI BRASIL!!
Cesar Cielo was a swimming superstar for Brazil. Glad he entered in History
The idea of letting your body choose what technique for you was a GAME CHANGER FOR ME! I spent so long using play book swim techniques that didn't make me feel comfortable but switching things up with A LOT of practice made the difference.
Fantástico! muito obrigado por compartilhar a história do grande Cesar Cielo! Orgulho nacional!
... MANY UNKNOWN SUPER HUMANS ARE NOW BEING VEIWED ALL OVER THE WORLD AND MAYBE AT THE SAME TIME .MMmmm.?..
you really made swimming more enjoyable.
Awesome !
A hug from Brazil! 🇧🇷
Great video!! These kind of videos on the story of swimming is a great complement to the usual technique videos. Keep on it, we appreciate!!
Thanks! Will do!
Dam, this video is better than what Olympic post on their channel
Cool music, like watching a short movie🎥makes the atmosphere complete.
Thanks man, Cielo is our star of swimming.
Thanks a lot for posting this fascinating story!

Cielo Is a iconic athlete in Brazil 🇧🇷
I broke that 21s record many times by running
LOL

Wow this is great video. Bravo!!! ❤️
Wow! Excellent video! Congrats and thanks!
Watched this till the end to find the tears of joy hidden in it. 🏊🏊🏊👌👌👌🏊🏊🏊

Always love these stories. gives me so much motivation :)
I love your videos! They make me fall in love with swimming over end over again
These are very cool videos, hypes me up to keep swimming as a beginner
Amazing . Go cesar !!! 🇧🇷
Great video! I've really enjoyed it. Thank you.
Thank you!
Thank you skills NT. You’ve come a long way.
Caleb dressel is coming for that record now.
And it's going to be epic
Waiting for Tokyo for a long time now.
@@studiousboy644 your wait is over
Don't seem him doing it but hopefully he does it
I love your graphics.
Awesome video!
Just amazing video

Fred started doing that around 2003 😱
It's like Peaty with breastroke right now. If others see it working and doing better it becomes what everyone else wants to do
Great video
straight arm sprinting was around long before these guys. Michael Klim swam some quick times using this technique almost a decade earlier.
Wow! I didn’t know this story. It’s a good one! Thanks for sharing it!
I swam with a guy who went on to swim for Auburn. He was the best swimmer I ever had the privilege of swimming next to even though it was only for a year. His first 50 of big practice sets was faster than my fastest 50 ever. 😳
Hi there. Greetings from Brazil.
And how about the 2008 olympic 4x100 freestyle relay video? Have u done it?
Thats the most amazing, incredible and outstanding relay event i have seen in my entire life. It may be the most exciting one in all history.
Thanks in advance
Nice Documentary!
Popov had perfect style of swimming..
I'm trying to get my strength back and return to kicking up a wake in a pool. Thanks, this was energizing ! 61421
So what is the status of these records since the hydrophobic speed suits were banned in 2009? Everyones times dropped considerably.
The records are still legal. Most of them have been broken with textile suits.
I don't understand anything about swimming (so you are right for sure about the "new" technique) but I remember Roma 2009, it can't be a coincidence who every race was a WR (someone still resists today) and that the polyurethane supersuits are removed after that world championship (sorry for my "eng").
In short; you're sure polyurethane supersuits didn't help break down the 21sec barrier more than the technique?
Legit question.
Very good advices, I swam long time at the university, any coach gave us advices like and informations like this., Thank you man
4:45 why is there a transparent blue shirt floating over that guy's white "France" shirt (on the right)?
Hearing about Frederick's story and how he started at 14 gives me much more hopes and motivation because I started at 12.
Amazing vid
Wait till Tokyo, I think Caeleb Dressel will join them in the sub 21 club
I am excitedly waiting
Great 👍👍👍👍👍
But, he is the best swimmer in the world , Captain Aty - a small Asian claw otter. 😄
Thanks for this nice video & thanks RUclips.m❤
arm speed under water has to be equal or faster than body speed ,if you don t want to create an eccentric contraction and excessive load on the shoulders muscles and tendons, same as speed kayak stroke
Could you explain this more thoroughly, or point to a source which does so? What specific drills, if any, help train this? Thank you.
Enjoyed your video very much, thanks.
6:40
What is the name of the music?
I would like to know to.
Nice vidéo
Thank you.
I’m sitting in front of my fish tank looking for inspiration
nice video!
Thank you for the video!
What do you think about Adam Walker and his Ocean Walker style?
While this question is not directed at me, I think that the style looks nice and works well but has its limitations and is not for everyone.
Thank you im liking swimming again. Have u reviewed the form smart goggles? I sorted out nasal polyps with nasal spray and I sleep a lot better now so im confident in recovery between swim session once pool opens.
background song at 5:16?
Muaah..enough to Inspire me till I sleep..intensity matters
Did they were the supersuits when they broke the 21sec?
Just wait 2 or 3 years. David Popovici will be the king... this delphin is amazing
David Popovici ....the best!!!!!
reallly incredible
Is superswimsuit inc there speed?
The coach probably used "You will break the 21 second barrier" in his introduction. Like "Hey. Nice to meet you. You will break the 21 second barrier."
this guy is an entertainment god i am not at all a swimmer but this was so good
Bro how do you know all this behind the scenes shit hahah makes it so interesting
Great story Raul!!!!!
Does raul use ti cookie cutter method? 😂😂😂 according to master couches olympians uses cookie cutter approach. What ya think?
Any good coach knows that the same 'cookie cutter' techniques don't work for every one they coach. We are all different, and some of us are more different than others. One of the reasons I like Raul, is that he encourages you to try different things rather than cookie cutters. This sets him apart from other swim channels.

Nice film (never mind narrator's elocation).
So which one better straight or bent elbow
But is the windmill technique still effective for short course?
wow i didn’t know u guys had an english channel!! aunque ta bueno que este en español 😎🤌
Those who will achieve the greatest, often fight with bigger feelings of inadequacy.
I’m new to your channel. I don’t know if there’s already a video about crossing legs kick. When I used to swim, I would do the kick sometimes crossing my legs. I knew back then that it wasn’t optimal, but it felt more natural to me, less tiring and I was also faster while doing it.
Is this it, or will there be even faster swimmers in the future? When will the 20s fall?
Things go in cycles...you need the luck of genetics, perseverance, and training to all align at the right time...the good thing about history (and also the bad) is that it repeats.
@@trepidati0n533 exactly
I loved this
Is Brett Hawke still a swimming coach?
Michael Klim also used this straight arm style.
What school did you swim at?
The SUITS helped him break the 21s....I doubt it will be broken in a normal suit anymore.
Hi man, but doesnt the use of supersuit somehow jeoperdize their achievements? Biedermann record should also be ignored, with all the respects to him and Cielo but mostly - respect to all swimmers now who try to do it the right way :)
and the 400m IM WR from Michael Phelps too… and 400m and 800m free… and…
can you do an analysis of a completely different tyle of swimmer? Ross Edgely, the only person to circumnavigate Great Britain.
But something important to note that regardless of technique, the super suits they wore were directly responsible for shaving off the extra time needed to break those particular time records.
Very relevant 👍
Hi! I now that you speak spanish. I speak it too, so I am going to speak in spanish.
En algunos vídeos, has puesto algunos trozos de ti compitiendo. Yo también compito en natación, y me gustaría que me dijeses, simplemente por curiosidad, Cuál es tu mejor estilo, si eres fondista o velocista, y Cuál era tu mejor prueba, y tu prueba favorita
Ya no compito pero mis pruebas favoritas eran 200 dorso, 200 combinando, 200 crol. Y los 100s también me gustaban bastante jaja
@@SkillsNT A pesar de que ya no compitas, se nota que lo has hecho, explicas todo muy bien, de forma concreta. Felicidades por tus vídeos!!!

Thriller!!
And Bousquets teach the same way to Manaudou
Enters David Popovici.
He doesn't swim the 50 :)
dope animation
Beautiful
Were Full SwimSuits a TERRIBLE mistake? ruclips.net/video/4n1s47GWhmI/видео.html
Michael Klim was doing it years earlier.
Can you make a video about Danas Rapšys
I also swim with straight elbow. It's very fast
You were in the NCAA?
Janet Evans swam with straight arms. Yeah, but give credit for the style to Bousquet....
'WHERE IS MY SUPER SUIT?'
What is "the Technique?!?"
Michael Klim did this technique before bousquets
Lo veo nuevo denuevo pero en inglés
Cielo é foda.
Supersuits era will be remember as the dark age of swimming. Thanx god, it's over.

I did my freestyle with straight arms splashing like crazy and was the first to the wall, but afterward the coach was talking to us on the deck and said, "what was that?

He was right. No coach would ever teach a young swimmer straight arms.
