Incredible!❤🎉❤

Kudos to your demonstrator who clearly showed what you described. She’s a great swimmer!

Just woooooow

I’m a swimmer beginner at age 50. Go go marine is inspiring.

조아숴

Woowwoowie.. amazing 👏 😊

Amazingly superhuman

I wish I could swim that kind of age and still kicking 😉

Nice,,

I swim regularly since I was a kid. In fact, I designed my own pool at home to be able to swim daily, if I want to, although I prefer to go to the gym (longer pool). I'm old school and I have been swimming the new technique for a few months now. It is more natural to me. I just add the "dolphin" kick and movements because it's fun and I am not in this for competition, but to keep myself fit. Thank you very much for this video explaining everything so well.

Son una gran familia 😊. El apoyo y el entusiasmo como apoyo, aligeran el esfuerzo al nadar 😊😊

bro swims faster than i do

Breaststroke

Flutterby. I will not last long, though.

Amazing video and explanation. I love this channel. thank you very much!

Butterfly ❤

What! There is more than one swimming method?? You just blew me away!!

The swimmer who blocks opponent

Breaststroke ❤❤❤❤❤

The first mistake is my struggle for butterfly swimming,half ending hand pushing synchronized with leg kick was solved it. Amazing

Wow!

I love breastroke but I realised I was getting hip pain due to frog legging too hard, need to work on that!

I'm 43 and I can finally say that I can swim butterfly, but I'll try this, since breathing is still an issue.

Back stroke alllllllll day!!❤️

Breast stroke

I'm a former competitive swimmer (from ages 6-13, nothing impressive) and it's so fascinating to me to understand the *why* of why I was taught to swim in a certain way. Maybe my coaches told me, but it never really sank in (lol). I think I would've lasted longer in swimming if I had been taught to understand each movement like this.

See you guys at Summer Nationals!

The breaststroke is just annoying lol

Knowledge is power. Thank you.

Being a competition breaststroker in the 1960s, I had started to add a discreet dolphin kick to my underwater section of the dive and wall push off. I was quickly taken aside by a referee and warned that the next time I did it I would be disqualified. An interesting side issue with all the stroke and rule changes is that it now means that all the old records based on the earlier stroke and rules can't really be compared to the modern stroke. The strokes are so different that the times recorded for each style really don't relate to each other because earlier rules prohibited the changes that allow a faster time.

I’m not much of a swimmer any more, but I have a question for folks. Watching this stroke once only in the Olympics, I felt the kick was actually pretty different. Am I crazy, or were both legs not entirely synced up? It looked really different to me. It could be me 😄

Should I seek medical advice for any lingering effects of PTSD from my childhood drowning experience many decades ago? It hasn't had a major impact on me, except that I tend to swim faster when I'm in a different location. I swim, none-stop, my 4 kilometers, each day. It all started with a sensation of having water in my nose, but I didn't actually have any. Is this potentially dangerous for a swimmer?

As a beginner swimmer who was scared of going off the block, I really loved this video tutorial because it really helped me with it! I learned new techniques and I gained more confidence in diving :)

Hi USMS, do you do video analysis? I am trying to improve my freestyle swimming. If you have a couple of minutes to point out my biggest problems and how to solve them would be highly appreciated: watch?v=S6DL16aHY0Q

Don't know how is that "new" ,I was taught to swim by this "modern" technique more than 30 years ago...

How "outdated" is that, or am I not considered a Masters swimmer at 44 years of age? I learned that technique mid 90ies already, and competed until 2000 like this in Austria. Maybe our refs simply didn't care and I was outside of the rules all this time? The modern pullout has changed quite a bit though, very interesting video, thanks!

Except for the S-pull, I was taught these modern techniques in the late 90s. I could feel that the S-pull was a bit less controlled, but the straight pull put a lot more stress on my rotator cuffs. How do you address that extra strain?

I love using a snorkel because I’ve had shoulder, back, and abdominal surgery. It enables me to strengthen my body without the pain.

Unrelated but that pool look exotic 😊

Since it’s a different stroke there is no way to legitimately compare records from before and now.

breaststroke kick on the lane?

Loving the dad bud vibe

Dolphin kick should be authorized as it is a natural movement.

Hmm, I guess I learned this new technique in the 1980s?

I developed modified breaststroke after i was rehabbing from shoulder Labrum surgery. Same Breaststroke Kick but kind of like an underwater butterfly or a surfer paddling out, using mostly back muscles to propel. Now after i'm healed I still do it 50% of time to conserve energy.

saved my life 🙏

It's like swimming front crawl but both hands and legs move in parallel. I'm an amateur but that's how I swim bf.

I wanna ask a question. When doing a breaststroke, is it better to take 1 kick followed by 1 breath or 3-4 kicks and 1 breath? I learned to swim back in elementary school and I always do 3-4 kicks and 1 breath, but I also see people do 1 kick and 1 breath. I want to apply the rhythm that won't make me out of breath quick and keep my stamina consistent

I watched some underwater films of Chinese female swimmers during the ‘growth hormone’ years (when they were shattering records). Their leg kicks were farcical - much more dolphin than frog. Hardly any separation of the legs, but plenty of downward force in the kick phase. I was pleased to see in Paris 2024 that technology and refereeing - and a better culture in swimming generally - seems to have eliminated the most egregious examples of stretching of the rules. I’m not anti-China. I loved seeing them winning medals this year. I think swimming lost its way for a while, especially breast stroke and back stroke, but it seems to be right back to where it should be.
