    Here’s what you might not get: great swimmers lift their heads slightly to gain more torque. You might analyze a bumblebee and determine that it can’t fly. Sometimes, the proof of the pudding is in the tasting. You have shown three of the greatest swimmers ever, and they all lift their heads SLIGHTLY, and they all look forward slightly. There are compensating physics factors! Thank you for these videos!

      I see where you’re coming from, but this may not be the best for non-elite swimmers as lifting their heads will more than often cause the hips to sink.

      Yea I was just thinking this we always see and say to Olympic athletes that they need to fix the. Head angle but there are no athletes that are leadin the patch that have this perfect head angle we want to achieve so what does that mean really because one of he fastest kids in the nation to just move into collage had the weirdest stroke ever and his head looks like a kid trying to breath but he is so quick? I think allot of fast swimmers have this because they re creating so much torque. look at speed boats they have an upwards angle too and they are faster that any other boat flat

    I have watched many of the elite swimmer's videos to see what I can pick up. One thing that I found curious was how virtually every single one, in freestyle, will have their arms entering nearly on the center line rather than at 11 and 1. I am guessing that this 'appears' to be narrower than shoulder width, but actually they are at shoulder width. This optical illusion, as near as I can tell, is due to the fact that their shoulders are rotated, some thing like 30 to 45 degrees.
    As for his lifting his head out to breath, this is part of the 'gallop' style of freestyle. I remember seeing this style when Michael Phelps swam in his first Olympics. It is not used in the 50 sprints, but for every distance over that. Katie Ledecky also swims this way, and so did Sun Yang. They breath on ever other stroke. They do lift their head a little bit, and it serves a similar function as raising your head when you do breast stroke. Caleb does talk about it in his videos 'Dressel Dissects'.
    For his high amplitude dolphin kicks, for sprints, the added power/speed is needed. For distances, the amplitude goes down as it is more efficient.

  • @henrileroy2485
    @henrileroy2485 3 года назад +125

    Sprint technique is not the same as mid distance techniques.

  • @robohippy
    @robohippy 3 года назад +9

    Well, a couple of comments... I have always pondered the arms entering the water at shoulder width apart. Since our body and shoulders have rotated to 45 or so degrees, then shoulder width becomes much more narrow across the center line. Not sure if we should enter a bit wide, or use a slight arc in our arm pull to compensate.
    Second is the head being slightly high. Caleb does have a few videos up under the heading of 'Dressel Dissects'. He does cover 50 and 100 meter freestyle. There is a difference in the arm stroke used in both distances. The 50 meter is more of a 2 blade propeller with at most 1 breath in that distance. Pretty much anything over that distance where more breathing is done is what is not called 'gallop style' which he mentions in his video dissection. Katie Ledecky uses this as well. The arm stroke is not on a constant even cadence/rhythm, but a quick 1/2/slight pause. Part of the mechanics of this method involves lifting the head slightly so you are undulating more through the stroke than you do with the propeller method. This adds to the power by using a 'gravity assist' similar to what is used in breast stroke. You will see most of the top swimmers using this method, even Sun Yang, and they are breathing once per arm cycle. Surprisingly efficient.

  • @sealy999
    @sealy999 3 года назад +45

    I think this is largely due to different styles of swimming. At the start when you are analysing his technqiue, hes doing more of a galop style to get more power through the arms where he needs to lift his head slightly more to leverage the movement.

    We had this talk at swim practice back in 1991. The better swimmers always had a sweep out and that’s because you’re not pushing the water straight back you’re deflecting it back like a propeller blade on a boat.

    • @melt6894
      @melt6894 3 года назад +2

      Hmm. I guess it depends. Although I’m not sure about that logic since propellers have multiple blades that spin very quickly to psh water back. Humans pull more like a paddle, which is most effective when going straight backwards.

    @Redford-xd3wg 3 года назад +16

    Ok, I am a swimmer in highschool, and I know how I should keep my head looking down when swimming. However, I have been playing with bilateral breathing or loping where I will work one arm harder every other lap. I have accidentally went back to picking up my head a little bit when breathing but it didn’t seem to slow me down. In fact, I felt faster than normal. I don’t know if it was because of a dolphin movement is the water or if it is more of my body being out of the water due to my hard pulls from loping. I’m not trying to sway anything because I know you said everybody’s body is different, I am just asking if I should continue working that or not. I didn’t go into too much detail, but I am happy to elaborate.

      @@Redford-xd3wg I think you are right: there are very different techiniques of freestyle depending on the distance. Obviously, the men seem to do a "loping" stroke, breathing every stroke on one side. I remember reading something about Katie Ledecky's coach noticing her strength in middle school (I think it was) and commenting to another coach that they thought they'd try that "men's" style with her. Really seemed to work with her, to say the least. Nowadays, those who "know" swimming can easily identify a totally different freestyle stroke between sprinting and distance. I wish you good luck and maybe speak w/your coaches about your thought on it, see how it feels, and check your times.

    If your hips are not dropping your head position when you are breathing is almost irrelevant, it’s simular on breaststroke where the faster breaststrokers look forward-ish but it doesn’t matter cause they have such strong lower backs and core that keep their hips up.

  • @poleag
    @poleag 3 года назад +6

    In virtually every stroke analysis I've seen of Olympic swimmers, they *never* look straight down, but rather a bit forward. Sprinters, middle distance swimmers, long distance swimmers. All of them look a bit forward. Closer to 45 degrees than 90 degrees from the surface. I think looking straight down must somehow be unoptimal and looking a bit forward must be optimal for some reason that's not fully understood. Can anyone give examples of top swimmers who look straight down?

    @joeproyecto1982 2 года назад

    In the case of Ian Thorpe, he swam facing forward, so as not to swim completely horizontally and thus be able to benefit from his kick and his feet, which were a competitive advantage, obviously many swimmers sacrifice hydrodynamics because they are more compensated with a wider kick, I think this is one of those cases. Not that all swimmers should do it, some will be more compensated by being hydrodynamic for having a weak kick or small feet.

    Head lift is a no-no, as is asymmetric lop. But here we have Dressel doing his impersonation of Lezak's epic 46.06 100m split, and crushing it like him, too.
    Dressel's the best sprinter of all-time because of the combination of his vert off the block, turns and underwaters, and technical proficiency, but Ervin was a faster crawl stroke if we were only looking at that, I'm confident saying this. I never saw anyone faster than him on top of the water.

If you’re a high school or college basketball player you would absolutely NOT practice like Michael jordan. He can dunk from the foul line and you can’t.
    Similarly Caleb is a pro - just because he goes a 47, does not mean we should aim to copy his technique.
    In short, appreciate Fares going in on his technique.

    To say he can improve by entering at shoulder width is questionable. I would bet Caeleb has tweaked every variable and swims with what is most optimal for him.

    I nuotato olimpionici di questo livello hanno un loro stile, possono migliorare il loro modo di nuotare che ha poco a che fare con gli esseri umani i quali per galleggiare e nuoatare più veloce con duri sforzi devono migliorare tecnicamente, di loro si può ammirare la loro determinazione al risultato ma non sono copiabili è solo illusione...........
