My main problem breaking the minute is the 45 seconds between me and the minute.

[@YSFmemories]

the trick is to swim 100 feet instead of meters

[@malutky2472]

I have 1:20 for 100 meters and I do not know what to do to beat my highscore, but I will try do the same like in video.

[@barefootbeachrunner9498]

Franz Keep at it mate When i started back swimming masters after almost 20 years away from swimming i was at about 34.4 for the 50 and 1.30 for 100 6 months of training with a masters squad im down 4 sec quicker for 50 and 23 quicker for the 100 Dont lose hope mate Keep at it As my coach says Focus on your technique and you need to go slower to go faster Sounds silly but it works After 6 mo

[@TheFinav]

@@barefootbeachrunner9498 Thanks for your encouragement. I've been at this for over 3 years now, having taking up swimming at 49. Although several coaches have stated that my technique is "really not bad at all", I just can't seem raise the speed. Despite being pretty flat in the water, being elongated, having a high-elbow catch etc. etc., it's just a battle every time I get in the pool. It's really quite disheartening!

Words from a national team club coach: Tuck you chin down more. You want the water to roll over the top of your head instead of splitting and breaking the surface tension, which will cause it to push the water instead of glide through the water just under the surface... Tighten your core to reduce the banana shape in your back. That’ll make your position more flat like a plank on the surface. That should also help you not have to reach up so far for that breath... You’re treating your up kick basically like a reset for your next downkick. You need to generate more power from your with your lower back and push those hips down more to create the motion of a bullwhip... Theres a pause between your last dolphin kick and the start of your flutter kick. Either make it more seamless or do one more dolphin kick as you’re breaking out... Your first 2-3 strokes of each breakout should spin more and be less bouncy to help you flatten out sooner, that way you can settle back down into your tempo without having to plane out still... Your feet are hitting the wall at 45 degrees instead of straight up and down, so make sure your feet come straight over the top and hit the wall at 90 degrees. Push off on your back and kick out while turning over onto your stomach... Other than that, you have a good technique and tempo for sub-minute 100 pace!

Diego FRAILE good luck!!!

[@allydea]

Good video. Lots on valuable info in this and the demonstration is great as well. It's nice to see what other people's targets are... My best 100 m is around 1:18 but I don't dive, flip turn or dolphin kick, so I'm missing out on some of these technique based improvements. Your video has inspired me to try to drop my 100 m to at least 1:15.

[@hxndxrs0n815]

you'll be way faster with a dive and flip turns, you'll probably go 1:10

[@mikhaillastname8719]

yeah. i'm in process of mastering flips & practiced jumps only a few times. so i am wondering how much does it take away from one pool (25 or 50m). yet i am a beginner, so my goals are quite humble (but also more reachable i guess): - swim

[@allydea]

@@mikhaillastname8719 Can't believe it's been 4 years already for me... Last year I had a bit of a breakthrough technique wise and was able to drop my times across all distances. My 100 went from 1:18 to 1:14, then 1:12 and finally I maxed out at 1:09.70. Haven't been able to get back to that this year (tried a new technique change and it hasn't panned out so far) but I'm still trying. How are you doing with your goals, Mikhail?

[@paulizzs4720]

You are the best guys. I improve massivly my swimming just watching yours videos

[@ZiggyBoon]

My observation on improving technique for cutting a second would be to drive a more pronounced Early Vertical Forearm (EVF) to start the catch, then toward the end of the push flex the wrist to keep the palm in a vertical position for just a bit longer to extend the push power just a bit longer before finally popping the hand out pinky first. A slight rotation of the elbow upward I think facilitates setting up the EVF.

[@robohippy]

Some things that have helped me take seconds off of my 50 and 100... One is learning to fire off the wall and have a stronger dolphin kick. Two is more, as I call them 'long and strong' laps, which is like the Arrow Freestyle with long glide and power rotation. It makes my abs sore when I do a lot of sets. Three is 'high octane' laps, 25 and 50's at full speed and high rpm/stroke count. Four is 200 yard sets on short intervals. Broke 40 seconds on my 50 side stroke last week, and got my 100 down to 1:26. For some reason, my freestyle times haven't dropped in 10 years. Maybe not reading the clock right.... Drop 30 pounds and keep training, and I hope to get the side stroke down to 1:10 or less..... Not bad for being 69....

I’m at 1:03 for 100 YARDS right now. I’m doing my best! This is really hard to do, but try breathing a little less. It’s great that you still have amazing technique while breathing, but a single breath could be the difference in winning or losing.

not good advice. for anything above 50 yards/meters, oxygen is essential for the muscles

[@charleanparksfordistrict6s746]

I'm no where near this fast but your videos are helpful! I love your presentation style! Keep sharing.

[@andrewsmith3913]

You need to adjust your strategy. I swim a 47 100 meter free and the first 25 should be just below all out. I like to think about it being about 98-99% just below max effort. Then on the third 25 go max off the wall then obviously max on the last 25. Furthermore, reducing your breathing will help you dramatically. Every breath disrupts your body line and slows you down. I try to breath twice on the first length, 3 times on the second and third and 1 on the last lap. Finally, increase your stroke rate. Think about accelerating your hand as u finish ur pull and put it straight into your catch. Not straight out in front. That’s just wasted time in a resistance position creating no propulsion.

[@kerambeach]

Thanks for the advice! And congrats on you impressive time! Is that 47 m LCM?

wow, pretty quick, that with some bubbles on the Hands and Fingers, but real quick. Main Problem is time for training, and efficiency and effect in propulsion. So, good luck to you guys ! Never give up! It will work if you really really want.

[@robohippy]

Haven't gotten back to this one for a week or two, mostly checking in to see the comments about helping you get faster. I think I will stick with a comment some one else made about having a faster stroke rate. I checked out several videos on short course 100s. Seemed like they were doing about 10 arm cycles per length of the pool, and I think you were at 8 on your last length. Probably the biggest single thing I would suggest. I am working with a Master's coach, who is telling me to get in a couple of work outs per week where I do 5 X 200 sets with short rest intervals, which amounts to swimming at a higher level for a longer distance so the 100 feels a lot shorter. Definitely a higher aerobic demand on the 200. For me, it is building more upper body strength, and more kicking strength. So weights and leg exercises. One problem with the legs is that I have had both hips and a knee replaced, so I am weak there. I think I have done a 1:25 100 yard with the freestyle, and 1:30 with my side stroke, but haven't done either for a time in quite a while. Not bad for being 69 and having pretty much no coaching.... Hope to get the side stroke down to 1:05, and freestyle down to 1:00. Oh, have to lose 35 more pounds.... Oh yea, I would like to see your stroke in slow motion, including start and flip turns. Makes it easier to pin point improvement areas.

Bubble resistance on your hands when entering the water like Michael phelps would help a lot.

This is not going to sound possible but even if your dying on the last 25 if you keep pushing even though it feels like you can’t you’ll build stamina if you fight the pain. Hope this helps

When doing the underwater kicks start your kick with your chest and that will make your underwater kicks stronger!

[@athibanthegamer2038]

He is a super swimming guide

[@notjoshing]

With regard to kicking fast without a board holding your breath - The point here is to replicate your freestyle swimming position. For that, it's good to kick with hands leading at shoulder width, at the position your hands will be in when you pull. Kicking in a streamline compresses the shoulders, and puts the body in a different position from what you're in when you actually swim. I find that this helps me to adjust the angle of my kicking to be more "forward" when swimming; the angle I get from a streamlined kick is enough different that it trains the body inappropriately.

[@ibbi_D]

I do agree...though pulling uses way less energy. Many pull a minute 100m without massive issues, no dive obv. I'd say the best improvement here would, surely, be to breath less. You could possibly be sub 50 breathing every 6...

[@aimerire1506]

Rien à redire Il nage très bien

[@torroniveson]

You are starting your next underwater arm stroke before you have re-centred your head position after breathing. You shouldn’t begin your catch before re-centring your head as it leaves your whole body out of line for the stroke after the breath. Hope that helps👍 Think the comments about breathing too much are waaaaay off, proper breathing technique drops minimal time and maximises oxygen supply to the muscles meaning less fatigue later in the race - keep at it bro 💪

[@hxndxrs0n815]

1:37 damn he gave it all, he swam faster than a shark!

[@REDandBLUEandORANGE]

1:25 I see wasted movement there in your hands They could go straight to streamline but there going above your head then going to streamline This could be the reason you are having issues with your turns What do you think of this??

[@Trassshpile224]

Above your head streamline is a correct streamline

[@elev140]

For what it’s worth, comments of an avid swimmer who’s about have as fast as you. As one commenter noted, you’re reaching up a bit. That creates drag and you end up pressing down to get into the catch. Optimal I think is to reach slightly downward, or straight. I see room for improvement in pull on both sides. Left arm - when you’re half way through the pull, your hand/lower arm is slightly forward of your elbow and shoulder. They should all be aligned - like this: Shoulder Elbow Hand You’re like this on left side. S E H (That represents how your hand is in front of elbow, and lower arm is angled forward) Right side pull: Your hand is scooping up all the way through the back half of the stroke. Your palm should be facing backward, staying vertical longer. In fact, I see your hand doing kind of the opposite of what it should be doing. It looks like this as you go up: / Instead, flex wrist, so palm is facing toward the back of the pool, staying vertical. If you compare, your left hand does a better job of keeping palm facing backward. Good luck!

Maybe to go one second faster you could try going all out on your 3rd lap, you'll be surprised how much you have left in the final 25m anyway. Just something I've heard

[@maverickcrowell4312]

Yes this is true but it is more for confidence in races. In the 3rd lap next to nobody sprints so if you could get a comeback or get into the lead on that 3rd 25 you’ll feel more confident going all out on the final 25

Buenas, si me permite voy a realizar el comentario en español, ya que me explicare mejor que en ingles. Como pides opinión voy a darte la mi punto de vista para mejorar. Por lo que puedo observar la patada con el pie derecho cumple el rango completo pero el pie izquierdo pierde rango en sus 3 patadas, es decir realizas el rango completo en la primera patada y las 2 siguientes son mas pequeñas. Por otro lado, un aspecto que ayuda mucho a mejorar en los 100 metros es trabajar la hipoxia y poder realizar los últimos 50 metros con un numero de respiraciones menores. Eso que propones de hacer mas rápido el primer 50 lo veo arriesgado, centraría mis esfuerzos mas en nadar doblando tiempos o en negativo. ¡¡Muy buenos videos!! saludos!
