Hi Fares, can you talk about backstroke breathing pattern in one of your videos? I never know when to inhale and exhale even though my face is not in the water ๐
God . just look at that hairy armpit ๐คง
Kick w board allows one to chat!!!
How does it compare when it comes to teaching kids to swim? Iโm talking about the kickboard and learning freestyle by catchup
Idk about recommending dropping the kickboard but picking up fins (which I don't hate, but a lot of kids have a tough time doing a six beat kick as it is).
Today I'm doing my fist drill, by not punching the water like you said, and I feel much faster and have a better feeling with the water
My fave drills:
0 x 500 warm up
0 x 100 free
0 x 200 mix medley
0 x 50 kick
0 x 500 cool down
Get slower every time i do it!
I like challenging people I swim with to match their stroke count with the fist drill.
Any bad drills for breaststroke that will make you slower?
Thank you so much
And why then is the board indicated in the tasks for the legs?
Ok. Off topic but what are your thoughts about the US getting the top team award at the World Champs despite winning 7 golds to Australiaโs 13 golds????
When I first started swimming, I saw my neighbor doing head out of water kicking using kick board. She could do it nonstop. I thought I wanted to do that too. However, it was really hard and I never felt right when doing it so I gave up. Now I kick with fins and snorkel to warm up and get my legs stronger. Streamline kicking feels so much better for my spine and lower back.
Hi Fares, been watching your videos for a while. Some of them are even translated into chinese on bilibili, great to see that.
I have one question about daily routine, if i have only say 2-4hrs/day for breaststroke training( trying to get under 30s for 50m), should i go swimming first or dryland first?
Thanks,
What about doing fist drill with pull buoy?
