the RIGHT style of RACE PACE? + Breathing tips for improved performance

[@MotuPatlu-do2vd]

Hey Cody, i just want to thank you. It is now almost 2 weeks after my National Championship, i am still upset about my performance and also a bit depressed. I am not able to figure out my future goals. After a long time i am watching your video, i am just felling better mental and could see a light at the end of the tunnel. So i thought of writing it down and thank you once again.

You got this, keep up the hard work!

[@mrwillwgp]

Don't spend another minute worrying or fretting over what you can't do. Think about what you CAN do! Get good food, get good sleep, and focus on technique and endurance when you can. It's almost not about speed, it is all about flip turns, streamlines, and technique. The power will follow behind it! It helps some people in the longer races to swim 50% power on the first half and then 150% on the 2nd half! But for now, focus on sleep and yourself in general! We need you at 100% for the next tournament, okay? I wanna see you back here with a BLUE ribbon! Heck yeah.

[@emiliasurma7189]

G’day Cody! I’m and Aussie swimmer 12 years old and I wanted to say thank you. I’m a breaststroker like you and I love all three distances (50m, 100m and 200m) last year at metros (it’s like the whole city of Sydney) I won all three events. Later I had state and won all three breaststroke events as well. Earlier this year I had the school swimming comp season and here in Aus it goes the school meet, then zone which is your local council area, then regionals which is your council area and ones around it and then PSSA which is state and then nationals. I won PSSA and made the national team but nationals wasn’t on due to covid. Thank you so much for uploading these amazing videos and they are sooo fun too watch! You really help me to push through and strive for my goal to make an Olympic team. You are by far my absolute FAVOURITE swimmer and youtuber. Again thank you so much Cody for helping and entertaining so many people. Keep up the amazing work mate!

[@dwightschrute8892]

What are your times?

[@cappyyyyy]

Wow you have an insane lineup

[@natalierosen8032]

Hi Cody! I am 12 years old and love swimming. I also happen to be a breaststroker like many people that watch this channel and this may not sound big to other people but it was a big deal to me when I qualified for Junior Olympics. This was unfortunately canceled due to COVID-19 and I was devastated. I am trying to qualify again this year and watching your vlog has encouraged me to wake up early and stay up late, pushing myself to my limits. Thank you so much!

[@fakextea4938]

I told my teacher that I was a swimmer. Later that day, he taught me some breathing exercises, and it actually helped me calm down.

[@callynw9896]

hey cody! just wanna say thank you for making these videos. i quit swimming for a period of time because i just lost all motivation for it, and then i started watching your videos, and it encouraged me to get back in the pool and now i’m better than ever :) thank you so, so much!

[@julieouellet247]

Can you please make a video to explain the swimming lingo ?.. asking for a beginner friend :P

[@michaelfonseca7698]

Hey Cody, i am a 16 year old with pectus excavatum and i finally joined my high school swim team because you inspired me. All i can say is thank you

[@cassidylowe9634]

[@nishantanjna7691]

Pls tell how to maintain muscle strength and not run out of breath in the 200m fly ...also do u practice in yards or meters pls tell

[@Felipezz92]

I believe the short courses days are in yards and the long courses are in meters

[@davidgodinezful]

Cody Fantastic started out awesome with little Axel so cute. Love the take over of the vlog. This should be done more often it was fun to watch. Lilly needs more control over the vlogs. Great job.

Hi Cody! Did you ever tryed Airofit?If you did what do you think about that equipment? Thanks! Jonas

Cody my first swimming comp in like a year because of Covid and I am trying to get 1 more Country time we do that in Australia,so is a huge meet for 11 years and over and my name is scarlet

[@HunterJavier06]

which goggles are those? are they the fastskin hyper elites?

[@gilbertqt8392]

Hi , i want to ask something , in usa what is the age that your coach call you to go swim 6x a week?

[@andrewcavada486]

How much of you endurance do you think comes from muscular strength? I've only been swiming for about 3 weeks and I can swim 100 in about 1:20 or 1:25 and I don't feel the same kind of tired like you do when you're running. I don't feel out of breath it just feels like my back muscles are like yeah I can't do that any more

[@ch-asmr]

Cody I’m currently balling my eyes out you’re videos make me smile, swim is hard. I feel like swim doesn’t want me I can’t explain it. I started swimming at 15 and I’m currently 16 any tips please.

nvm, if you swim a 55 on 100breastroke in a workout it should be yards :D

Most of the time he swims yards, if he swims meters it is always long course

Hi Cody I’m from Australia and I’m 12. I’ve been a big fan of you since 2019, I really would like if u could do some tips and tricks on butterfly. I’ve been stuck at a 33 for 6 months and I’m trying to get to a low 32 and make my way to a 31. If u could do a video on that I would really appreciate it :D

[@Flipper2704]

Do you work the underwaters? Kick both ways (up and down)? More efficient technique (what's your stroke count)? How often do you breath? Also work the dives and finishes. Just a few things to think about in training.

[@notgreezq815]

@@Flipper2704 I breath around 2 or 3

[@Flipper2704]

@@notgreezq815 Something to potentially work towards is breathing only 3 or 4 times in the 50 and then eventually get to the point where you don't breath at all. The less you move your head the less drag. You just gotta make sure you're not losing speed because you run out of air. So it's breathe as little as you can without slowing down, if that makes sense.
