Thank you so much Fares!!! My senior season was amazing. I ended on a high note at DCL championships. 50 free: 26.85 100 free: 58.70: 50 Splits: 27.88, 30.82 I did it!!! FINALLY!!! Broke 1 minute! The monkey is off my back. On my final event.

One of the best swimming educational channel.

[@testingtesting421]

Very thankful for this channel as I’ve progressed tremendously. I started to add swimming to my daily exercise regimen after my run and resistance training sessions. When I began a month ago swimming 50 yds freestyle would have me winded all because I was doing things incorrectly. It frustrated me greatly cause I feel I had a solid cardio and endurance base from running. Bad habits that I did I included holding my breath, lifting my head to breathe, and looking to the other end of the pool. Today I swam 2 miles or 3600 yds and I broke it into 3 1000 yd swims and then 2 300s. It was difficult but I finished feeling great even though I was physically tired.

[@FaresKsebati]

That’s awesome to hear! Keep it up!

[@testingtesting421]

@@FaresKsebati thanks! I look forward to diving deeper as a newfound swim enthusiast. I’ve always loved how majestic the butterfly looks but the 50 yd butterfly is still tiring me out. I just need to get out there practice it more and practice it right!

[@nealwalker731]

What’s ur time now

[@robohippy]

On breathing, I noted during both the European Olympic trials and the US trials, a difference in breathing patterns between the men and women. The women were breathing on a 2, 2, 4 strokes, or on a 3 strokes, and the men, pretty much exclusively were using the gallop style and breathing every other stroke. There were a few women who did the gallop style. Then, the last 10 to 15 yards/meters, their armstroke became that windmill style, and no breath. I have a lap pal who trains older swimmers. He is a big fan of 200 yard interval sets. I have to get back in shape for that, but the pools are all open again, if they can find enough life guards.

Granted, I am probably back to a 1:04 at the moment wrt fitness, but will concentrate on pool training now again... also a bit heavier body wise.... gonna document my progress for good feedback on this feed.

You can slow down the speed yourself. On the top right hand corner of the video there are three dots. You might have to touch the screen to see them. Touch the dots. A menu will pop down. Select playback speed, it will show up with various options. It is preset to normal. If you select one such as 0.75 or lower, it slows the speed of the video. Most videos have this option, as well. You can choose to turn captions on, which will provide translation, if available in your language.

if the target is 1:30 with a 44 and 46 split, what is the interval time u suggest? Or should be considering the Rest and pace ratio?

[@mamahongg]

Another great episode of whiteboard wednesday as usual :) How many times per week would you recommend we swim the workout you provided?

[@fksebati]

That's a great question that I should have addressed in the video. I think 1-2x/week. If you do it 1x/week then you can see progress over a few weeks. For example, in college we did this type of set on Wednesday's in the 3-5 weeks leading up to our big competition.

is it normal if my 50 free sprint PB is say 28ish, but if I try to extend that to a 100, my second 50 is like... 50 seconds? lol. Do I just need to train my endurance? Or does someone who can do sub 1:00 100s usually have a faster 50?

[@FaresKsebati]

Yes! It’s always great to set short term and long term goals and keep those big dreams within reach!

[@fuzzyb123]

Thanks for the video Is it 1:10 rest after the first 6x50 or after each 50m of the first set

[@FaresKsebati]

Good question! 1:10 is how much time you have to do an entire 50, rest included. So if you swim a 50m in 50 seconds, you have 20 seconds to rest before the next 50. But if you swim a 50m in 1 minute, you only have 10 seconds to rest before the next one! Hope this helps :)

[@ODKON93]

I wander if Olympic swimmers can do under 1 minute without dive easily? if they can how did they do that? strength? technique and build?

Many can! It's a combination of technique, hard work, and talent!

[@drewa1999]

Hello Coach! Are the green times on the 50 sets to be done off a block?

[@FaresKsebati]

Hi there! Typically no, since you're also working the back half of your 100 in this set. If the interval gave more rest, or you wanted more of a cardio challenge as opposed to trying to hit a specific time, then you could go off the blocks!

great! is there a minimum height requirement to get to Olympic level (men)? I've seen Japanese elite swimmers who are 170 cm+, but i don't see any below 170 cm so I assume that the bare minimum height requirement for a male to reach Olympic standard is 170 cm. or not?

[@FaresKsebati]

Hi there! The only requirement for Olympians is speed. No matter how tall you are, you can still be fast! For example, Australian Brad Cooper is the shortest medalist, being 1.60 m tall (5 ft 3 in). He won a gold medal in the 400 freestyle at the 1972 Olympics!
