WOW, They have been really working on this one in the last 20 years!

When I swam AAU and High School back in the 70's, they'd already figured out the best way to properly swim *all* of the strokes, hadn't they? I mean my aunt was a swim coach at Augustana back then, had swum in high school herslf and I think she was like in her THIRTIES. (Seriously, coming back in after a few decades away, it's amazing how much I have to relearn (and how much faster I'm getting) in *all* of the strokes now that I'm to the point where I'm trying to improve.) Thanks for all the great tps.

@@USMastersSwimming I have difficulty recovering due to mobility in my right arm stemming from a dislocation while weight training many years ago. So I recover underwater. Works great for me.

Gary Hall Senior and I might disagree with you about the head motion. See his race club video on 'head position for a faster butterfly.

Hey! I slways swam the mordern way and also teach my students the same... It just seemed logical to start recovery as soon as the pull was done near the hips to reduce the amount of work in between recovery and re entry.

I would like to know, when the face leaves the water to take a breath, what are the arms and hands doing underwater specifically? Thanks.
@USMastersSwimming2 ай бұрын
Your hands and arms should still be pulling the whole time during the breath and pull cycle. They should never stop when you take a breathe.

Thank you for this! My butterfly however.... well let's just say I'm still working on it.🙄
@northsta4 ай бұрын
Immediately after the breath, duck the head and also the upper body (to the position as if a a non-breathing stroke was taken). Last element after which I became satisfied with my fly. This is a great illustration video

How many breaths can I skip until it's illegal? Or is there no requirement? I usually only breathe once or twice in a 25...
@USMastersSwimming4 ай бұрын
There is no breathing requirement. But, we recommend breathing at least every 3rd or 5th stroke.

It's like swimming front crawl but both hands and legs move in parallel. I'm an amateur but that's how I swim bf.
@anticitizen1386Ай бұрын
I agree but just make sure you are swimming front crawl correctly or else your fly will inherit the same flaws.

Should I seek medical advice for any lingering effects of PTSD from my childhood drowning experience many decades ago? It hasn't had a major impact on me, except that I tend to swim faster when I'm in a different location. I swim, none-stop, my 4 kilometers, each day. It all started with a sensation of having water in my nose, but I didn't actually have any. Is this potentially dangerous for a swimmer?
@USMastersSwimming3 ай бұрын
Hi, it would be best to discuss your issue with a medical provider.
