very interesting your comments before guys, actually I'm as surprised as you, I expected to see a cleaner technique but apparently that's enough to be Olympic champion, I have the impression that he does the opposite of what we are trying to do haha
Freestyle begins after 12 slo-motion shots of his entry. 1/2 way thru the video. I like the fact, you can see he doesn't glide after his recovery is complete. So many new swimmers have been taught to have both hands side by side in frt, gliding, before the pull or "catch" . Swimmers like Sun Yang, or Katie Ledecky, (and others) don't do it either. I still don't understand the reasoning for the technique, and haven't had anyone explain it.
Before you can catch arm full of water you need to glide. How would a beginner swimmer knows if he or she can sets up the catch if you are spinning your wheels? Slow is smooth, smooth is fast. Go watch the best swimmers in their warm up. You will see a glide. Theres a difference between sprint and distance swimming.
My trainer told me it's to learn to depend on your leg stroke more so than your arm catch. It does make a lot of sense to someone like me that doesn't utilize leg strokes much at all in long-distance sessions.
Sun Yang literally uses the technique you described! It's important for a swimmer to learn distance per stroke (catch up free) before shortening down to a shoulder driven stroke.
There must be a reason for that. Your body is a bit more inclined when looking forward, and maybe that’s a strategy to do stronger strokes when sprinting. For long distances it’s important to glide well so you shouldn’t rly look forward, but when sprinting it’s a different strategy
Not seeing breathing timing could be because hes doing a 50m sprint and pretty much all Olympic level 50m freestylers hold their breath to maintain optimum streamlining.
He said in an interview he is trying to be as relaxed as possible so maybe thats why. Just look at a cheetah running it is also very relaxed. Atleast thats what he said in an interview
0:45 it is interesting how he drops his right elbow and bends his right wrist and still goes with such high speed!
I think it's sprinting here. it would not be a good technique for efficient long-distance swims. (still better than mine of course ,)
The right wrist drop after catching phase is interesting to watch and a bit unusual for a World /Olympic champion but he's still insanely fast.....

@@maxhim64 he just slams through the water with incredible power lol
@@Beyondthebreakers yes it is sure that with slow motion it is difficult to realize this
Nice just advanced my technique from average to better than average🙂which means I will swim faster,every bit of knowledge is the key👍
Even slow motion can't slow him down 😉
Mecanismo perfecto
It's beautiful.
Those underwaters are just crazy
this was full on triggering me lol i wanted to se breakout mechanics and it cut them out so im sat here twitching lol

You see that more in distance swims

@@dropdeadsprinterevan Not in any of the videos I've seen in the past.
Good👍👍👍👍
I need to incorporate a bit of knee bend into my freestyle kick I think that’s why I’m so slow with a board
👍👍👍👍
La subacquea sia a livello phelps, il che è tutto dire straordinaria, la tecinica non è un granchè, è uno sprinter....
his dive is above phelps level bro
he"s the best freestyler in the world
muita força pouco deslize, vai ficar bom
no high elbow??
No, Not how you sprint anymore,
why does he look forward so much?
That's what I thought too. :-D
Same.

Bom...
Name of the music ?
Ooyy Ganja
I have stopped to look at 40th second after many repetition of the same movements :(
its called "technique"
I didn't see him breathe once?
In 50m freestyle swimmers dont breathe.
Doesn't show his breathing timing???.

@@alexcave7573 Oh, ok, thanks for that
Technique wise nothing special. But somehow he is fast
his hand is all over the place and it is super inefficient, I don't think this is how he swims in an actual race.
He said in an interview he is trying to be as relaxed as possible so maybe thats why. Just look at a cheetah running it is also very relaxed. Atleast thats what he said in an interview
Ugly technique , Thorpe was much better
Thorpe is not sprinter, he is distance swimmer, sometimes he swam 100 free. Dressel would destroy win in every race except maybe 200 free.
