How To Do A Breaststroke & Butterfly Turn | Whiteboard Wednesday

[@Inouteye]

Thanks a lot. I like the way you explain this twist. Congratulations. It is important to do the turn well. It is so important how to explain it.

[@FaresKsebati]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jasminwildgruber5179]

I have basically kinda self learned swimming with your videos. Thank ypu for your very good Info and your explained drills☺👍🏼

[@kenweber4673]

I am teaching the open turn last week and my teaching progression suggests that the overhead hand flex and push off wall to increase rotational speed along with snapping of knees to chest. One particularly proficient breaststroker new to me was puzzled and said he was taught to keep his hand straight. That is what you said but the video clearly has the swimmer flexing at 120 degrees. Your thoughts? I like your videos. Very helpful thank you.

[@FaresKsebati]

Thanks for watching, and great question! The arm will naturally bend slightly at the elbow and wrist to accommodate some of the impact from hitting the wall. It's important to train swimmers not to pull themselves into the wall at this point.

[@isabelarojo3003]

I love how you teach me more than my two coaches. Thank you !

[@FaresKsebati]

You are so welcome! Appreciate that - happy swimming!

great video. coach and I have used it to help me develop my own open turn. I Have 2 hip, 2 knee replacements and rebuilt pelvis from car accident. That crunched up position is literally impossible for me as well for many aging baby boomers with those surgeries. I use the punching my brother, but adapt “calling my mother” to get my gimpy legs in position for a very good push off. These graphic names are fantastic for visualizing body position. I will have to come up with a new one for “calling my mom”…..maybe “texting my sister?”

[@eestiny9734]

would be nice to have a video, on how to make a quick turn in open water!

[@FaresKsebati]

Thanks for the suggestion!

[@yileiyilei5616]

Great video! Thanks for doing this! I have two questions: 1. Do we drop our elbow with force? Almost like a freestyle stroke. Might help pull the legs in and aid rotation. 2. Does the hand that stays on the wall push the wall when it leaves the wall or should it just leave the wall with no extra force? Thanks!!

[@liministhetic]

Haha

[@coachcarlvarella5116]

Your videos are awesome. 👍

[@lqxoml192]

Everything is fine with my swimming It's just my every turn having some problem and i can't fix it no matter how my coach explains or show others turn to me. But i like that how i find this video and i can see how people turn it perfectly thanks thus video really helps me. But still i need some time to practice

[@tonyabbsmuscleworkout254]

This is a great video - shows clearly and makes it look easy.... unfortunately, I still didn't nail it when it got to the pool but will keep practising! 💪💪💪💪💪💪👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@FaresKsebati]

It takes some practice! Thanks for watching, keep up the hard work, and happy swimming :)

[@adam.minnich]

THANKS! This video was so helpful to me and I went a lot faster on my breastroke and butterfly.

[@FaresKsebati]

Glad it helped! Keep up the hard work and happy swimming :)

Mother hand is left hand or right hand ?

[@marias6583]

Whichever you like

[@kinskighost]

Hey. Timely discussion for me. I’ve been playing with taking a short, out of rhythm last stroke into the wall lately as my stroke count is dropping from 8 to 7 SCY in Breast.That is 8 used to be just right but now it’s either 7 and glide in or take that short 8th. It feels crisper to me due to the extra momentum, but do you think it is a worthwhile trade off on turns (and even finish)? And while I’m here, thanks for all you do for the swimming community.

[@lindaarteaga3033]

Súper! I am trying already. Thanks for share 🏊‍♀️

[@fksebati]

Happy Swimming!

[@zanedebrincat8241]

This is very helpful for me because breaststroke and butterfly are my strokes

[@FaresKsebati]

Nice! Happy Swimming!

[@jacksammut8641]

Hi Zane!

[@Lukey_-gk9wy]

Hi Zane

[@barr.nnekajoel-okoli33]

How do you sink under water😅

[@floraflora2527]

Elbow your brother, Call your mother!!! Nice. You won't forget the technique.

[@wbek001]

Important not to forget to breathe before/while you call your mother.

[@dc41]

I don't want to mess it up, but i'm pretty sure that if I try it I'll first elbow my mother and then need to call to brother :/

[@relevant_nebula]

Is it possible to learn turns at over age 40?

[@FaresKsebati]

Yes! It's never too late to learn. You can also learn flip turns here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rp3aimeKo7ppqLs

[@_R_R_R]

Yes but once you turn 43 and a half it becomes impossible

[@JENNY-nk9cr]

@@_R_R_R I learned flip turn at 45

[@bjohnsonsv]

Elbow your brother, call your mother ++!

[@valenzuelaeph]

Why cant we do this in freestyle?

[@fksebati]

You can 100% do an open turn in Freestyle. You only need to touch the wall with one hand rather than both in breaststroke and butterfly.

[@valenzuelaeph]

@@fksebati great to know thank you very much as i find the flip turn extremely hard to pull off. great content keep them coming!
