Olympic Sport Swap! D1 Gymnast vs D1 Swimmer 🤸🏾🏊🏻‍♂️

[@Nivedmc1]

Them holding their breath was actually legit! They were so relaxed

[@chrisstankiewicz4808]

Love this! It’s great to see the mutual respect between athletes - keep em coming!

[@wit2pz]

Noyce!! One of the most important parts I had to learn to overcome and become comfortable in swimming was the breathing part! The concept was tough until somebody said "You don't hold your breath while you're running, bicycling, jumping, or lifting weights, right?" Made sense and enabled me to overcome the bad habit of taking a deep breath and puffing out my cheeks before going under water. The head rotation to take a breath is still something I'm working on, but the other instinct of trying to look forward instead of looking down was another bad habit I had to unlearn. It's a great, fun exercise, and challenging to learn the different techniques! I want to learn the flip-turn now! Great video, great challenge, and even though I'm an OSU fan, this is something I enjoyed seeing! Cheers!

[@FaresKsebati]

That was entertaining! Nice work men!

[@convergenceyt4932]

Yo its MySwimPro

[@markhayes2003]

Kinda impressed with his swimming technique tbh! He can do anything, I guess.

[@loganmenchaca698]

He swims like a water polo player that’s not good technique

[@Itz_Hacer]

Head above water is terrible technique in pool. In sea, yes, for view, survival, and explosiveness but energy consuming while head below water is more effective in pools

[@mylittlepitbull3143]

I'm a swimmer and I coach swimming and I was a competitive swimmer in college and I could not do one gymnastic thing. Couldn't even think of trying it. And I wouldn't ask a gymnast to swim a lap. It's too painful to watch.

[@simplemosey554]

That breathe hold , oh lord , it had me feel like damm, i got to do more. Thanks this was so entertaining 😊

[@jryan1024]

Fred sure does make the jumps look easy.

[@Msfrog101]

Omg this is exactly what I’m looking for I a swimmer and I’m also passionate about gymnastics!! 😨😱😱😱

[@strayvelvet]

you can tell he's a swimmer by the way he runs :3

[@HC_FLIX]

yo im a swimmer and it was fun watching this video!Im also trying to improve in calisthenics

[@Rhcpitar9495]

Same here!

[@devarmcknight684]

I just love everything about Frederick!

[@kb-bz2ub]

Love watching people swap sports with swimmers! I bet the swimmer went into this assuming that gymnastics was going to be pretty hard at times, and the gymnast figured that his all-around fitness might help with swimming a bit. They both did great, but it looks like the gymnast felt absolutely wrecked after the swim. Can a gymnast teach a swimmer how to do some skills pretty quickly vs a swimmer teach people in another sport how to swim efficiently? As amazing and challenging as gymnastics is, they are teaching people how to move their body. What makes swimming so hard is we have to teach people how to move the water, and that relationship with water develops with time. I hope they both keep training together because it looks like it was a lot of fun.

[@DizzyBusy]

Another thing about swimming is that you have to have some Co2 tolerance. You just have to spend a lot of time in water.

[@perperson-oj1uu]

Wtf stroke😅made me laugh😅😅

[@lanibubani]

is it just me or does it seem like gymnast are way shorter then swimmers and i am a gymnast and i also met a swimmer

[@FrederickFlips]

We definitely are

[@seaturtle4294]

Swimmers are usually tall because you can go faster in the water when you are taller

[@Blingbling8899]

I was a weird combo I was a short swimmer but a tall gymnast😂

[@garouthetiktokinfluencerhu9731]

@@seaturtle4294 almost a requirement for long axis strokes. Not so much a deal breaker for short axis strokes like breast. I was a breast stroker so being a short Oompa Loompa wasn’t nearly as disadvantageous.

[@rileygshep7606]

Height does have advantage for a swimmer as they need to swim lesser to reach the other side but technique is still what will prevail in the end

[@redwoodrider2906]

Honestly your technique isn't even that bad with a couple months of training you could be a threat

[@godsmixtape8371]

Definitely not. VO2 max while swimming takes years to get to 55+. Along with years of technique building.

[@Name-lg2ry]

No he couldn’t, he’s black

[@13klecan]

loved this! So much fun to watch. Both could go far in each other’s sports. Fred’s backstroke was great…..and a few tutorials in breathing would get his freestyle up there. Breast and Fly are all timing. Gymnastic is all about timing and Fred would go far with a few classes. You can tell that both athletes have that competitive and risk-taking skills. Neither hesitated at any challenges. As aSwimmer the sport that freaks me out is synchronized swimming. Gymnastics moves all upside down with no air.

[@Swimcore]

Well done guys, nice video! Both swimming and gymnastics are two fantastic sports and they complement each other well! It’d be interesting to know. Do you think the skills and training from gymnastic be integrated with swimming (and vice-versa) to improve performance? We think yes, but we’d like to know your opinion :)

[@raphael_2d878]

"WTF STROKE" killed me. lmao! Maybe he should teach the correct streamline position first and then teach you how to properly dolphin kick.

[@DizzyBusy]

Fred's breast stroke was kind of cute 😂 jumping out to breathe before the forward stroke 😂😂😂

[@rwingert100]

Looks awesome!

[@FrederickFlips]

Thanks Richie👌🏾

[@alvargas5095]

Frederick impressed me with his swimming, especially the underwater gymnastics. If Frederick practiced more swimming he'd be good.

[@raphael_2d878]

That was cool. Make more of these with different athletes.

[@jeremymestizo4834]

At least when u did butterfly you got your arms out of the water. A lot of people can’t do that. They tend to look like crabs. You looked like you were just doing a messy butterfly sprint. Which 100X better than the crab 😃😂

[@thew2blue]

so much fun man 😂

[@tysonhuynh3460]

lmao nice vid! 😂😂

[@FrederickFlips]

👌🏾👌🏾

[@TP-yw6hj]

Um...where was the swimming competition part ? It was almost all non swimming comparisons LOL. Funny video !

[@magripinop]

they must be close friends for the swimmer to risk flipping accidents.. good buddy video

[@boostedplexea2680]

Fred you can take my spot and swim with Matt 😂

[@FrederickFlips]

Haha I’m down

[@jamellgordon6108]

This was awesome.

[@piangfuann]

Please do one with archery, i think it will be fun to see!

[@Greenmoon413]

[@conradkuraas5776]

[@mrbasketnite340]

[@DannyPimienta]

Where can I get the swim cap? I have the yellow cap with the blue M, but want the reverse colors you have.

[@marcelinokabamba431]

[@brumbz893]

[@rjdavidsonxyx8620]

[@0305jramey]

Go Ohio State

[@cjrouse9508]

Meanwhile the divers are wondering why you chose the swimmer for a gymnastics display... do you also walk past the hammer and grab a pencil to drive in a nail?

[@arcoatco23]

Does anyone know what those bars are for at the bottom of the pool?

[@marcelinokabamba431]

Awsome
