For some reason the fastest 50m free I’ve ever seen was 27.38 which was done by a 23 year old. The clubs I compete against are all only summer swim teams, 3 months out of the year and only train 8 hours per week so that might be why. I’m 13 swim a 32.02 50 free and that’s above average in my age group. Fastest guy does 28.5 and slowest guy goes 55 seconds and the age group is 13-14

Hi just keep at it - I am now 15 and did a 28,50 in a 50m long course sprint 2 weeks ago. Over here we swim open when you are 15 as most swimmers quit, specialize in open water or play water polo. I won the B-final - it was the first time that I won an open final. It turns out that I am a better middle distance swimmer as I age up. COVID lockdown and not training hit me hard but I am slowly getting back and better. Taking nearly 2 years...💪

@@dacali1636 I’m not a judge and has been a long time since I swam in a national competition level... but I usually classified for the 50m. and 100m. backstroke. So what I’ve said in the previous comment was because of the little details that I remember from the actual meetings (the fear of the start, cause back then there wasn’t the wedge that is nowadays used... and the fear involved in the turns. You have time to warm up in the pool to get used to that particular place, count the strokes from the flags, the feeling of the material of the wall, etc) I’ve always believed that you are allowed to make a front stroke with one or both arms, and a dolphin kick to gain momentum in order to make the turn. But if you turn over too far away from the wall, you can only glide until you execute the turn... In this video, I think she has rotated too early and has made 4 front kicks plus 1 dolphin kick before the turn. I believe she’s not used to that particular pool or hasn’t count correctly the number of strokes after the flags... because, as well at the finish, I guess she also thought the wall was closer because she could have done another stroke. Maybe in this time it could be difficult to discern. But imagine that you rotate at 5 meters from the wall, you make only one front crol stroke and then you keep front kicking until you are at the optimal distance from the wall to make the turn... that would be legal? It’s a genuine question

@xaviersohovich4543 3 жыл бұрын
that was a great race, you really clutched against 3rd place during the 3rd 50, one think top keep in mind is that dolphin kicks are key, I think you have the stroke to be the best in that field and I like how you rotate from the hips, with a few more kicks off the walls, you could be in the low 2:20s. Also, although I'm not sure if its just the choppiness of the video your kick seemed to reside around 4 beats per cycle, if you could increase this to 6 or 8, your stroke rate and speed would also improve... it would be like a speed boat ;)

It makes it difficult for me to find girly shoes in the shops - I wear flip flops & men's sneakers🙈 My coaches told me "long people, long axis stroke, short people short axis stroke" It is not a golden rule but we see short people are faster on breaststroke and butterfly, also open water swimming. But I am not sure at which age it really start to make a difference. Can only do the best I can with my long body.....it is quite an adjustment as I grew abnormally much between 11-13. It caused a problem which we work to solve now. (1 cm a month, 13 cm in one year so I had to get some help to get used to my new body)
