Dude, thanks so much for this info. I've found I learn more from people with late on-set swimming. I'm 37 and have mainly been into ultramarathons, dabbled in cycling and basically zero meaningful swimming. I actually had to get rescued out of a lake when swimming in my early 20s, so I got beef with swimming. Now I go to the local YMCA and swim at least twice a week and find myself hitting 500m in 30 minutes and I have to take a break every 25m. It's been brutal, also learning how to breathe out of my nose and all that. I have a pull bouy and am adding some other tools to the bag. I really appreciate that you shared a wide array of resources as well. Love Chris Hauth on Rich Roll, gotta dig into his swimming tips now. Anyways, thanks!

I feel like people who "just" learned it fresh (like you) could produce some really valuable insights into learning. Some who learned it decades ago has been doing it on muscle memory and probably cannot relate as much to the new comers especially on the adult onset swimmer.

From two laps to 2K... Big jump. My experience might help encourage someone also. If you, the reader, are starting from scratch, you might try laying on your back with face out of the water and make like a squid, propelling yourself with both arms and both legs thrusting you backwards through the water (don't bonk your head on the other end). Another option is similar, with your face up, lean partway to one side lifting the knee and arm on that side and then do a thrusting scissor with your legs and similarly with your arms to propel you backwards. Then on the next stroke lean the other way and do the same with your other leg and arm. The benefit of being on your back is that you can breathe easily while swimming. Do this until you have built up some leg and arm strength and endurance. THEN, when you have some arm and leg strength, then you might pick up with Patrick's recommendations for the front crawl. And it is OK to swim a lap and take a break and then do it again, until you can do two, then three and four and so on. After several swim sessions, you will gain some confidence and do 600 yards, then 1000, then 1200, then 1500, then 2000. With two or three sessions a week you can build up gradually. Once you get started, it is addicting, as you try to learn new techniques and tips from Patrick's recommended channels.

Hey Ross! The shorts are called neoprene swim jammers, and they are AWESOME. They basically help with buoyancy at the core and lift up your hips, making it easier to swim front crawl (and more fun). I wouldn’t use them always, but sometimes they can really help because they give you a feeling for what correct body position feels like - here is the link www.amazon.it/ideas/amzn1.account.AFTZK7N4DANKV4K43IWE3I4GK47Q/1N7HT2GJCTAZO

Hi hansel! to be honest I see the overwhelmingly vast majority of triathletes, both recreational and professional, using pull buoys and snorkels for longer distances than 50m. In my experience, they can help especially when building up to long continuous distance, like swimming 500 free then 500 pull and repeat until reaching 3500m then the week after 600 free 400 pull, then 700 / 300 and so on, getting the arms used to the volume without taxing all other systems
@sujstet2 жыл бұрын
@@PatrickDelorenzi I'm more of a long distance swimmer and I'm sure the aids do help but if you are comfortable doing 50m Freestyle you should try and do at least a 200m easy continous freestyle as a warm up. You can alternate between freestyle and breaststroke to do it continuously. Professionals and triathletes can swim more than 1000m continous in freestyle. They usually use aids to perfect the part of the stroke they wish. This they do for a short distance so that they can get to feel how the stroke should be For a beginner swimmer it's essential to be able to swim atleast a 500m continous to gain water confidence. Remember you will not be allowed to use aids and only perhaps a neoprene suit in competition. If you have structured swim workout like warm up,fast set, drill set and cool down it helps alot.

I disagree about a 2 beat kick not giving any propulsion.

Hi, it’s not 2 beat or 6 beat it’s generally kicking in general which provides no propulsion (around 2-3% or stroke). Easy way to prove this is doing kicking drills, you will gas out and swim very slowly

Your kick shouldn’t be that slow, it’s very important to practice. You’re doing well if you can kick 50m on 1:00
