Can you guys Answer a question: which many of us are troubled with , that is, is height an important factor in swimming faster

[@abiramprasad792]

In swimming fast

[@nicolov.3177]

@@abiramprasad792 I don't think so, there are lot of olympic swimmers who are very hight... more or less the avarage hight is about 180÷190 mm. If you want to go faster the only think to do is to improve your technic. The thing that i used to do to swim faster was to swim above the water surface trying to reduce the hydrodynamic friction.

the arrow isn’t necessarily used for sprinting, it’s a distance stroke

I do it in the 400m freestyle

yea, that is why personally when i am sprinting i do boat, but with anything else it is arrow

[@hugoingelhammar6163]

As a former competitive swimmer I have experimented with all 4 techniques. For short sprints I like a mix of windmill and boat style. Just bury down your head and swirl! For distances like 100 and 200m I prefer the horse style since its very powerful but lasts you abit longer. For the really long distances I like the arrow style, especially in Open Water swimming. It saves you alot of energy and and the 1:1 arm/leg ratio makes the body take care of the lactic acid better.

[@matthewqtran1318]

exactly. it's just freestyle at different distances. i would say the only one i seldomly used was the horse style. it just seemed like wasted energy. the arrow style was the default to save energy during those long swim practice sets.

[@armaanayaantv]

[@mjchecksfield914]

This made me feel a lot better as I switch between 3 of these styles. I am a long distance ocean swimmer now and find its good to mix up styles over the race to prevent fatigue. And some days I dont feel strong and need to be more glidy and streamlined and other days I am pumped up and can work at higher aerobic capacity which influences style a lot.

[@barmaglote.5984]

This is an absolutely fabulous video! You explain everything with concrete, detailed examples and break down the information like others don’t.

Yooo! This made me feel better! I am sprinter in 50 meters and I switched to windmill freestyle. I was swimming 50 freestyle 27 sec about a month with the boat style. With the windmill finally I swam under 26 sec! Thanks a lot!

[@SkillsNT]

I have been training these four styles for the past 3 months, and the one I am most interested in further developing endurance with is the horse freestyle. It’s not the fastest or the most efficient but I want to swim the 100 freestyle faster and I think this is a great style to train to be able to maintain a good pace.

[@JuanSarmiento2006]

I think the gallop is really good to swim the 200 free

[@RigoOXx]

I think the galloping is mostly uselful for the 100 and 200, or for IM swimmers who gotta hold the pace

[@robohippy]

I watch a lot of swimming videos, and this channel is my favorite. The more I watch the elite swimmers, the more I recognize that they all use the gallop style for anything 100 yards and over. This includes Katie Ledecky, Sun Yang, and others. For me, I can't swim more than 100 yards of freestyle without going to breathing every other arm stroke, which always seems to throw me into gallop style. I am guessing that the key is that it keeps you well oxygenated, more so than breathing every 3rd stroke or so. The more I swim it, the more I prefer it for efficiency.

True that. I do a Horse while sprinting. It is just dead easy and feels so natural to me. It’s like engaging an autopilot of sorts, I don’t have to think about it, it just happens… 😊

[@aleenaprasannan2146]

I just realized I was taught the Boat style as a beginner at my mid twenties. The name was never mentioned and I was just taught that that's freestyle swimming, I wasn't even aware that there are different styles of freestyle swimming...

[@beckyb8929]

All your videos are so good - I love the anatomical views you provide and the clear explanations for what to look for. Plus encouragement. thank you!! This is my favorite swim channel.

I like the editing style on this. All meat and no filler. Good use of graphics.

[@valenciaketterley]

I started trying horse freestyle after this video (I used to swim closer to windmill) and immediately I was able to hold 26s and 27s on a set of 16 50s where before I could barely break 26 on a single 50. Thanks so much!!

[@borisbogvg]

I'm swimming lover and recreational triathlete. I do all four techniques depending what I want to do. For example, "arrow" with slower tempo when I practice breathing, on 6, 8, 10 strokes, or "windmill" for fast interval training. "Horse" is usually my warming up technique. Actually, it just getting out of me naturally, now I recognised what I'm doing, and I see it makes sense. Fantastic video!!

[@SwaggerMesh]

I must say, it's been a while I was looking for some videos with swimming technique and every one here is just perfect. It'll help a lot on my way back to pool. Thanks!

[@coltonstogner4363]

that underwater/overwater view is unique and so helpful

[@yg9912]

In America we call the horse style "galloping". It makes sense when you think about it. Anyway, it's really good for long course 100's and above as well as short course 200's and above. Ive been doing it so long in practice, cuz it's easy, and now I can't swim the 50 anymore even tho I was/am a sprinter. :(

[@jaydencrews7128]

Its ok man, perfect the windmill and speedboat for technique sand always research and train. Also speed comes from that heart of yours, keep your head up you can achieve anything if you put your mind to it.

I use that galloping for the 100 free and the windmill for the 50

Your observation is super, the way you take 4 style out of a single freestyle. Video making is also great.

I love the arrow style for a longer, more relaxed swim, but I can't achieve the kick well enough. At my level (I would say intermediate) the boat style is the best. Also, amazing video, so well done! Thank you.

This is one of the best video ever on freestyle. I (never a pro but a good swimmer) found myself questioning my freestyle while swimming becuase i often switch from one to another. All feels different and on distance longer than 200 i found difficult to chose between arrow and horse. BTW i preattx much think Greg Paltrinieri is on of the horse.

[@vivi011108]

I actually use a mixture of some of these. I find I use 2 and 3 during a game of water polo, 2/horse for when I'm closing the gap on someone and I need to be able to see them and get up out of the water, 3/boat for trying to accelerate without using the wall. The arrow is used for the long swims when training.

When I learnt freestyle as a child, it was windmill, and with thumbs first in the water. I had to learn as an adult to take long finger in water first, and bend my elbows to allow rest for my arms during swimming. Still working on perfecting it.

[@ETHomerin]

Windmill is often good for all out sprints, with gallop being great for the 100, 200, and 400. Arrow is really good for the early and mid halves of a long race, which toward the last 300 to 150 meters turns into boat as the swimmer brings it home. Very few swimmers utilize all four in the higher levels because very few swimmers span the entire scope of freestyle. Great video
