How is your Freestyle Bow Wave?
Просмотров 3,5 тыс.Год назад
Does your stroke create a bow wave when moving through the water? As a coach, one of the aspects of an improving stroke we observe - is the creation of a continuous bow wave. The bow wave is also handy for breathing, as it allows the swimmer to find a 'low pocket' of air, to sip. It allows the swimmer to turn a mere 90 degrees or less..... in order to integrate smooth breathing around the strok...

Swimlab How to improve your 'open' wall turns
Informative....thanks
When you do a proper swim, are you supposed to bend the leg that much when loading up the kick, or is this exaggerated?
Well spotted!! this is quite an old video and you should definitely not kick from the knee - it was a little exaggerated. And with 'no arm's there is a tendency to flare out more with the lower leg for balance. We have now firmly moved to 2 beat press; using glutes and upper portion of the leg as cues to help a more streamlined process. ruclips.net/video/YUjjO5IxWtU/видео.html - here's the new link
great one
tqvm,you're great sifu,,, ve solved my misery on these part of movement
Best explanation ❤ thank you I am stuck since many month to this arm pull and breathing
That is great news! Hope you feel improvement
Is it necessary to split the legs. What happens if we keep it straight and close to each other.
Nice high elbow recovery drill
I parrot🦜: it is awesome!!! Thank you!!😊
simple and ez thx
Please tell me, with a relaxed neck, should your gaze be directed to the bottom of the pool? If the gaze is directed slightly forward and the top of the head is higher above the water, is this not correct?
The water will support the head in a neutral position; gaze can be directly to the bottom of the pool or a couple of degrees forward. With neutral head / spine line… there will be a small portion of the head just above the water. But… there are many postural and skeletal individualities where we will suggest the best position. The head, rib cage and torso are connected- if the head position is too high, or chin extended out and forwards… it ‘can’t cause a posterior tilt of the rib cage… and anterior tilt of the pelvis which isn’t a great mechanic for swimming. Lengthening through the top of the head, and the spine is key! Hope this helps
Good clip
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
3 or 2 tips
La patada debe salir desde la cadera no de la rodilla y cuando la mano de empuje esté pasando a la altura de la misma no cuando mira al fondo de la piscina,fallos muy comunes,por lo demas nada bien la muchacha.
good lessons !
Really loved ur explanation
This is the easiest to follow thank you
Asante sana
That was 2
very good drill
This method is AWESOME, you can pick the kiddos out who have been Swim Labs trained at a meet…they are the ones with GREAT form and speed!
The best swimming coach ever. I lost watching so many videos and than I found your channel. You’re brilliant. Watching and practicing. Thanks so much
Really great advices! Thanks so much
How fast can someone get per 100 meters with this stroke
We scale it up using the tempo trainer... sub 1:00 per stroke. The principles are mainly drag reduction and front quadrant timing... I swim 1 hr 15 m 5k in open water. We are non competitive swimmers ie not Masters swimmers, most of our community want injury free, pace holding stroke. Many of our squad swimmers are sub 2:00 pace - what is your current pace?
@SWIMLAB I am about 2 minutes per 100 but still working on keeping that pace over 200 meters in the pool otherwise it starts to drop over 230 per 1600.
@@chrisdm1703 Is that 2:00 aerobic effort 60-70% or are you working at it 'threshold' more like 80%? drop me an email and tell me more about your structure for improving pace. 2:00 /100m is a real water shed pace; margins for improvement in swimming get harder sub 2:00 for what we call adult onset swimmers. There could be some technique help needed, and an idea of how to structure your pool conditioning. The other important question is how many strokes is each length taking... this is a big factor in pace holding
this answer my question on why my shoulders hurt, i push my arm to far before the recover phase.
thanks for the feedback; pull too far passed the hip and many swimmers will stress their rotator cuff
things to keep in mind to create Perfect Bowave??? thanks
A fluent, efficient stroke with good head and body position will 'push' the water evenly, creating a bow wave; just one small aspect to keep in mind
I practiced this and it works!! I tend to swing my arm higher during the recovery but this drill solve all the problem I had with it. The tips is to exaggeratedly drag the fingers over the water surface.
That's great news! Glad it helped. Keep your lower arm passive. It will also protect your shoulders from injury
Australian swimming ❤ coach Poland piranie Nowa Deba, love tips
Wish there was a TI in Brisbane.

Can I ask should your legs be straight out behind you ?
👍👍👍
I don’t know how you cannot swallow water with the mouth so close to the water
Thank you for your comment Scott! Remember this is a static practice, so there is no bow wave produced. This practice gives the swimmer an idea of the feel of the head position; keeping the head - spine line neutral.. head rotated, not lifted to breath. When stationary, we must bubble through the nose to prevent water going up. I also keep my mouth closed, as it's merely a 'position' demo. A good breath should be seamless, and integrated which means a low head, I nearly always get water in my mouth, just a habit. But it just comes out of my mouth when the head returns back.
Thanks for the feedback, very useful. I also read that moving the mouth to the side as in pursing the lips helps prevent swallowing water but that is very interesting to know that you can take in water but export it out under the water. Yes the breath has to be a quick inhale before going back underwater. I don’t think front crawl is for me but will give it another go. I think to get the bow wave you have to have momentum in the water as well? Thanks for your help
@@scottbarclay6 if you're 'learning' freestyle, try to keep you distance's short and build a stroke rhythm over 8-10 strokes with no breathing (slow exhale and diaphragm control), before adding breathing. Where are you based? We have a really good 6 session video series available with practice cheat sheet included. Are you following the Total Immersion 'method'? Drop me a line on swimlab.com.au
I am in Scotland UK Thanks for the tips 👍
Thank you so much 🤙
Thank you so much 🤙
Thank you so much 🤙
Those things in motion ten to stay in motion and those things at rest tend to stay at rest. So keeping the lead arm unmoving while the recovery arm is recovering is pretty, and good for those who don't yet have balance and a feel for the water, but it's a drill and that's all if you wish to be competitive at a high level. Simply put a velocity meter on this swimmer and you will see a slowdown he then has to accelerate back up to that is unnecessary once he's fit. Can there be SOME glide? Yes, especially in the mile and open water swimming. But this is way too much glide if you want to swim to your full potential.
Thank you for the feedback. Just terminology to encourage swimmers on programs to get the idea of front quadrant. Our swimmers are non competitive, many, more mature aged who do not come from an age group swimming back ground with the 1'000's of hours of muscle memory embedded. You're right, it is a 'drill' and emphasised coaching cue.. and we have move our terminology and emphasis away from the words 'patient' as it was not serving. We are not high level competitive swimmers, but long distance, ocean swimmers, and lean towards stroke length work, over stroke rate. When conditioned I swim a 1:30/100m pace open water 5k, which for me is a happy place.
@@SWIMLABAustralia I like how you differentiated your work as for less competitive people. I'm not even sure my comment isn't right for many competitive people. There are a who's who of world class freestyles using this catch-up sort of rhythm. I like what you do. I will say though that even some of the non competitive people I work with respond well to sort of windmill strokes where the core is more involved and they are almost off balance when the lead hand enters and pull almost immediately to "swim downhill". It's different for many people and the combination of what we both have presented gives us both a larger toolkit :). Steve Friederang, Publisher, Competitive Swimmer Magazine.
@@SteveFriederang nice! Horses for courses as they say! Happy laps💙👍🏊♀️
@@SWIMLABAustralia Happy laps indeed! I got in today with one of my toughest 13-year-old swimmers and swam while she kicked a thousand. She averaged 1:27 and I had to work to keep up. She goes 1:04's for the mile full swimming but I thought I might have a chance to stay with her in endurance kicking. No way! I can kill her in running, cycling, basketball, and even most non-specific things in the SWMGYM I own and run. But in actual swimming, you have to actually do it to be fit for... swimming! So, I need more happy laps. Thanks for the fun and the reminder. Keep up the great work.
I'm ridiculously daddy too for you thank n firmly I'll North thank n do so the only kill look
Ohhh my gosh !!!! Very very good tutorial! Stellar instructions and the way it was instructed with the visual and the slow movements and the written words and diagrams as well. I can’t thank you enough !! ❤😊👍🏼
Great! Practice makes permanent. let me know how you go
🥰 🥰 🥰 🥰 🥰🥰 💞 💕 💞💕 💞 💕 💞 👍👍👍 👍👍
thank u! my coach told me to extend my arm as far as possible , that cause me unstable and back pain.
If you extend / reach over the water, it will often cause hyper extension, and instability. The rib cage pops out, the pelvis is in the wrong place. Extension under the water still needs to be controlled and come from the scapula, with limited trap engagement
Muy buenos sus videos soy grande 50. Pero entreno la técnicas seguido. Tratando de reducir la resistencia y estar lo más arriba posible en el agua.
Sehr interessant. Danke .
So far the shortest but best open water sighting video in YT. Thanks
its absolutely not the best
HI Claire, Thanks for the great videos! How does your Stoke count adapt to the different TT ranges? Do you use the 3-5 beat range? When you go at a quicker rate, are you ok with picking up a stroke? N +/-1?
Hi Deb. Thank you for the feedback and question. As a coach, I use 1-2 stroke range over 25m, and 3-4 stokes over 50m. But with swimmers, would add a stroke to each range. We design a range of sets, but many hinge around sets to encourage holding SPL consistency as tempo increases. Depends on the set, the outcome you want to achieve and the level of conditioning at any one point in time. The trick is to find the tempo you 'drop a stroke' - likened to changing gears in the car!! This is the inflection point.... work your sets around that tempo - playing with tempo, reps, sets, rest variables to 'condition' your neuro-muscular and metabolic systems..... and limit that dropped stroke, push it out to a faster tempo. Remember, any increase in power output to overcome increased drag comes with an 'energy cost'. Some of the other vids allude to the set structure
Thank you Claire, much needed advice! Im self taught and when I watched a video back of my swimming it was rather disappointing : 0 Your help is much appreciated!! Come to New Zealand, we need you here!!!
Good to hear from you Mark! I can do a remote Video Analysis if that helps. Was just in the Cook Islands with a load of Kiwi swimmers, Hope to get to NZ with TI in the not too distant future!
Love this. Thank you
