Swimisodes - Backstroke Starts

[@markdominguez9444]

This really helps I’ve been stressing over my backstroke starts thanks coach

[@theraceclub]

Glad to help!

[@rodrigotenorio]

Woow, I improved my skills just watching you!! Perfect coach!

[@theraceclub]

Thanks Rodrigo! That means a lot to us

[@골드아이-v9t]

The details are wonderful and the player is so cool! I was fascinated all the time!!!

[@theraceclub]

watching Junya is like a great ballet in the water!

[@caligosynn8683]

This really helped me as I'm in a 50m backstroke race and a 25m backstroke relay on Tuesday! I've been having some difficulty as I don't know how to kick before a breakout properly... lol

[@theraceclub]

Junya is ballet in the water. Beautiful technique.

[@lemondots2277]

Ooooh, what were your times? How old were you?

[@ernestoocampo7085]

Love your videos Becuase it helps me improve in each and every stroke I practice !

[@theraceclub]

Thank you!!

[@xtremespeedx-thethinkingch2781]

Wow that start was beautiful 😮

[@theraceclub]

Ballet in the water. Junya is one of the best!

[@brennanlee7676]

Being a Freshman and 1st year competitive swimmer this video helped a lot. My coaches had a hard time trying to improve my back starts, but after watching this video repeatedly it has improved so much. Thank you!

[@theraceclub]

Thanks for watching! We've seen a lot of our campers improve tremendously learning these techniques!

[@clavicula8018]

greate footage, depicting the elegance of swimming

[@theraceclub]

Thank you!!

[@campbellgamingbadvlogs9750]

Thanks sooooooo much! I just got a state time and I'm 11

[@theraceclub]

Congratulations!! Nice job.

[@foxythedj34]

Thanks For This. Knowing Little Me Would Make Lots Of Splashes!

[@theraceclub]

Less splash on backstroke start is always better.

[@prasadjonnal3357]

It really helped me to get medals

[@theraceclub]

Thats great! So glad we could help!

[@Viraa2]

lucky dude

[@linzheng3083]

This is so helpful! Thank you.

[@theraceclub]

You are welcome!!

[@nicolexu2482]

Beautiful start off

[@theraceclub]

+Nicole XU Thank you!

[@pumpkin-re9ii]

hi coach! just a question: what would you recommend swimmers do when the wall is slippery/holding yourself high above the water is difficult? great video!

[@theraceclub]

With touch pads, usually not a problem. At practice we allow the swimmers to put the toes on top of the gutter wall to practice. On flat wall starts with good grip, put the toes above the water.

[@larajordan7630]

My first competition is in 1 month tysm for the help :D

[@theraceclub]

You're welcome! Good luck!

[@theswimmer2116]

Thanks so much , I have a gala tomorrow ! I will try it ,tyvm

[@theraceclub]

Let us know how you do!

[@theswimmer2116]

theraceclub I did great , I did my best backstroke start ever thx to u , thanks so much u got a new subscriber !!!

[@nunokard75]

Hi Gary! The best video quality about swimsodes in the Tube, congratulations! What you say about "track start" in backstroke? I´ve tried that way and I find it very functional. I don´t elevate so much the trunk but the entry, angle, depth and underwater streamline work very nice.

[@theraceclub]

Nuno Cardoso we prefer to keep the toes high and even in the backstroke start.

[@KawaiiVegs]

beyond perfection !

[@theraceclub]

We agree. Great start.

1 00:00:00,005 --> 00:00:01,104 (gary hall) The key to a great backstroke start 배영 출발을 잘 하기 위한 비결은 2 00:00:02,049 --> 00:00:03,124 is to go airborne. 물 밖으로 나가는 것입니다. 3 00:00:04,024 --> 00:00:06,095 You want the body completely over the water. 몸통을 완전히 물 위로 내 놓아야 합니다. 4 00:00:06,095 --> 00:00:07,137 You don't want to see a splash. 물이 튀기는 것이 보이지 않아야 합니다. 5 00:00:08,037 --> 00:00:09,384 You don't want to hear a splash. 물이 튀기는 소리도 들리지 않아야 합니다. 6 00:00:09,717 --> 00:00:11,050 You don't want to make a splash. 물을 튀겨서는 안됩니다. 7 00:00:11,005 --> 00:00:13,073 You want to go in there and just knife into the water, 그냥 거기에 칼처럼 입수해야 합니다. 8 00:00:13,073 --> 00:00:16,150 arching the back, the perfect streamline, 등을 뒤로 휘게하여, 완벽한 스트림라인으로, 9 00:00:17,005 --> 00:00:20,053 allowing the feet to come in very quickly and smoothly. 두 발이 재빨리 부드럽게 따라 들어가도록 하면서. 10 00:00:20,098 --> 00:00:22,134 And then you get in your underwater dolphin kick. 그 후에는 수중 돌핀킥을 시작합니다. 11 00:00:23,034 --> 00:00:25,057 And that's where the real race begins. 그런 후에 실제 경기가 시작됩니다. 12 00:00:25,057 --> 00:00:27,057 But you've got to get into the water properly. 하지만 물에 입수하는 것을 제대로 해야 합니다. 13 00:00:27,057 --> 00:00:29,064 And how you do that is you've got 어떻게 하느냐 하면, 14 00:00:29,064 --> 00:00:31,095 to position your feet properly. 발을 적절한 위치에 두어야 합니다. 15 00:00:31,095 --> 00:00:32,174 Put your feet up on the wall like you're 두 발을 벽에 붙이십시오 16 00:00:33,074 --> 00:00:34,133 going to do the start. 스타트 하기 직전처럼. 17 00:00:35,033 --> 00:00:37,088 Now, you don't want your feet to be too wide, 두 발 간격이 너무 넓으면 안됩니다, 18 00:00:37,088 --> 00:00:39,165 so move your feet out way wide. 두 발을 아주 넓게 벌려보세요. 19 00:00:40,065 --> 00:00:42,067 See, outside your shoulder, that's uncomfortable. 어깨 너비보다 넓어지면, 불편한 자세가 됩니다. 아시겠죠. 20 00:00:42,085 --> 00:00:43,103 It's not strong. 강한 힘을 낼 수 없습니다. 21 00:00:44,003 --> 00:00:46,056 Now move them almost together. 이제 두 발을 거의 붙여보세요. 22 00:00:46,056 --> 00:00:46,119 Closer. 더 가까이. 23 00:00:47,019 --> 00:00:48,025 Even further in. 더 안쪽으로. 24 00:00:48,079 --> 00:00:49,115 More. 더. 25 00:00:50,015 --> 00:00:50,114 That's too narrow. 이제는 너무 좁습니다. 26 00:00:51,014 --> 00:00:52,316 You don't have the power there. 이 자세에서도 강한 힘을 낼 수 없습니다. 27 00:00:52,442 --> 00:00:53,900 So now we're going to position them 이제 두 발을 이렇게 위치시키세요 28 00:00:53,009 --> 00:00:55,028 where you have the most power, which is right about where 가장 강한 힘을 낼 수 있는 위치에, 29 00:00:56,009 --> 00:00:56,800 your shoulders are. 어깨 폭과 거의 같은 너비로. 30 00:00:56,881 --> 00:01:01,012 So put them about where your shoulders are. 즉 어깨 너비의 위치에 발을 두세요. 31 00:01:01,012 --> 00:01:01,970 Now you're comfortable. 이제 편안한 자세입니다. 32 00:01:01,097 --> 00:01:02,149 That's where you're strongest. 이 자세에서 가장 강한 힘을 낼 수 있습니다. 33 00:01:03,049 --> 00:01:06,201 And you notice the toes are right up at the water's edge. 발가락이 수면 바로 위에 있는 것을 알 것입니다. 34 00:01:06,642 --> 00:01:08,850 You want to get them as high as you can on the water. 발가락은 물 속에서 최대한 높게 두어야 합니다. 35 00:01:08,085 --> 00:01:09,668 You don't want to be down on the wall. 벽 아래쪽에 있어서는 안됩니다. 36 00:01:10,433 --> 00:01:13,790 You want to be as up as high as you can. 될 수 있는 한 높게 두십시오. 37 00:01:13,079 --> 00:01:15,127 Now, when I say "take your mark," 이제 내가 "take your mark"라고 소리치면, 38 00:01:16,027 --> 00:01:18,038 you don't want to pull yourself too far in. 몸을 너무 안쪽으로 당기면 안됩니다. 39 00:01:18,038 --> 00:01:20,117 Show me one where you pull yourself too far into the wall, 벽 안쪽으로 너무 당기는 것을 한 번 보여주세요. 40 00:01:21,017 --> 00:01:22,021 OK? 아시겠죠? 41 00:01:22,057 --> 00:01:23,155 Take your mark. Take your mark. 42 00:01:24,055 --> 00:01:25,117 You don't want to be in that position. 그 자세를 취하면 안 됩니다. 43 00:01:26,017 --> 00:01:27,331 That's a bad position. 나쁜 자세예요. 44 00:01:27,484 --> 00:01:28,900 You're looking down in your head-- 머리를 아래로 내려다보고 있잖아요. 45 00:01:28,009 --> 00:01:30,101 you're not in great position to launch yourself. 몸을 띄우기 좋은 자세가 아니에요. 46 00:01:31,082 --> 00:01:33,091 You also don't want to be leaning back. 또한 너무 뒤로 제껴도 안되요. 47 00:01:33,091 --> 00:01:35,091 Show me one where you're leaning back too far. 너무 뒤로 제끼는 자세를 보여주세요. 48 00:01:35,091 --> 00:01:36,174 Take your mark. Take your mark. 49 00:01:37,074 --> 00:01:39,103 See, that way, your weight is back. 그런 식으로 하면, 몸무게가 뒤 쪽으로 갑니다. 50 00:01:40,003 --> 00:01:41,011 You don't feel strong. 강하지 않은 것이 느껴질 거에요. 51 00:01:41,011 --> 00:01:43,073 You're not in a really balanced position, 균형잡힌 자세가 아니어서. 52 00:01:43,073 --> 00:01:45,165 and you're not in a position where you can launch yourself. 몸을 띄울 수 있는 자세가 아닙니다. 53 00:01:46,065 --> 00:01:47,690 The next one we're going to do is going 이 번에 취할 자세는 54 00:01:48,275 --> 00:01:49,490 to be the correct position. 올바른 자세입니다. 55 00:01:49,049 --> 00:01:50,633 And notice the chin is up. 턱을 바르게 올리는 것을 잊지 마세요. 56 00:01:51,074 --> 00:01:52,490 You're going to have your chin up. 턱을 바르게 올립니다. 57 00:01:52,049 --> 00:01:56,072 Not down, not back, but straight in alignment with your body. 아래도 아니고, 위로 제끼는 것도 아니고, 몸통과 반듯하게 정렬시킵니다. 58 00:01:56,072 --> 00:01:57,161 Take your mark. Take your mark. 59 00:01:58,061 --> 00:01:58,066 Good. 좋아요. 60 00:01:59,011 --> 00:02:00,103 And you notice your bum. 엉덩이에 신경쓰세요. 61 00:02:01,003 --> 00:02:03,051 Your bum is over the top of the water. 엉덩이가 수면 위에 있습니다. 62 00:02:03,051 --> 00:02:05,102 If I don't get my bum to that height, 만약 엉덩이가 그 높이에 있지 않다면, 63 00:02:06,002 --> 00:02:07,064 I'm not going to be able to get up 일어서서 완전히 물 위로 넘어갈 수 없을 겁니다. 64 00:02:07,064 --> 00:02:08,403 and completely over the water. 일어서서 완전히 물 위로 넘어갈 수 없을 겁니다. 65 00:02:08,979 --> 00:02:11,430 I have to launch from a high position. 높은 위치에서 출발해야 합니다. 66 00:02:11,043 --> 00:02:13,058 That means you got to use some muscle strength 근력을 이용해서 그 높이까지 끌어올려야 한다는 뜻입니다. 67 00:02:13,058 --> 00:02:14,895 to pull yourself up there. 근력을 이용해서 그 높이까지 끌어올려야 한다는 뜻입니다. 68 00:02:15,417 --> 00:02:17,250 This time we're going to do the whole start. 이 번에는 전체 스타트를 해 볼 것입니다. 69 00:02:17,025 --> 00:02:19,077 And you're going to launch yourself up and over 몸을 완전히 띄운 후에 70 00:02:19,077 --> 00:02:23,130 without a splash into the water and do however many kicks-- 10, 물을 튀기지 않으면서 입수하여 발차기를 몇 회 하고. 71 00:02:24,003 --> 00:02:25,102 11 kicks you do to a breakout. 10 ~ 11회 하고 출수합니다. 72 00:02:26,029 --> 00:02:26,111 OK, here we go.

please make a video for Right nd exact Hand positions please. :D

[@theraceclub]

Thanks for the feedback! If you look at Junya's hands in the video above you'll see that his hands are shoulder-width apart, just like his feet. When he starts he launches the hands back into the hyper-streamline. Hope this helps!

[@theraceclub]

+Olga Ilina Gracias!!

[@Walfuz]

Really great, I've just begun my swimming career last fall, and the 100 SCY backstroke is one of my main swims. My starts are very iffy. I didn't realise you wanted your bum to be just above the water, and your feet just below. I will study this, and try to emulate this amazing dive seen here. I have a question though. I've seen many College races where the backstrokes seem to be underwater for 15 yards, then come up and take roughly 2-3 strokes, flip turn, rinse and repeat. Is this a viable option? Assuming the underwaters are legal. Or is taking strokes a better option? I tend to try to extend my underwater for as long as I can, which is a bit over half the length of a SCY pool. Should I come up earlier? And what are the best stretches for being able to have a flexible dive such as the swimmer above? Thanks. James

[@theraceclub]

+Walfuz Underwater is legal with dolphin kick on the backstroke for up to 15 meters. The key determinant in deciding how many kicks you should take is what is your underwater dolphin kick speed compared to your backstroke speed. For most masters, they are faster on the surface than underwater. Even so, with most backstroke starts, it is necessary to take at least 5 or 6 kicks to get back to the surface. If you are a particularly strong kicker, then take more, but if not, come up then and get swimming!

[@svenkonings673]

+theraceclub my problem is: i blow all my air out realy fast. i can t go realy far. if i don t do it i get water into my nouse. how can i fix it

[@dorisma2651]

+Sven Konings hold yer air

[@gybx4094]

OK, I've been practicing this very successfully except for one major recent incident: I had a severe cramp in the left calf muscle. So severe that it even affected me for several days out of the water. How can we prevent calf cramps during the launch? Are there exercises we should be doing in and out of the water? Please advise. I really want to master this, because it's so cool doing dolphins underwater after the launch!

[@theraceclub]

Drink lots of fluid (water), take essential minerals and practice the start a lot to get your muscles used to this motion.

[@henryzhang9750]

My back smacks the water when I start. How do I get higher on the start so I don't break my back?

[@theraceclub]

Pull yourself up until your bum is at or very near the surface for the start. Then arch your back as much as possible, straightening just before you enter the water.

[@kurtschneider2106]

Bending your head further back can help this, when you leave the block you should try to look at the flags on the other side of the pool. This forces your body to curve which will stop you from back flopping.

[@saurabhs-kaleidoscope]

I've always found it very difficult to stop water entering in my nose. Just because of this i can't swim backstroke.

[@theraceclub]

+Saurabh P You should definitely try using a nose clip in backstroke. Olympic gold medalists Missy Franklin and Tyler Clary, among many others, use nose clips....and so do I. That will keep the water from entering your nose and sinuses. You can order them on our Race Club website.

[@theraceclub]

+Saurabh P Here is a good article we wrote to help you. theraceclub.com/aqua-notes/wear-a-noseclip-in-backstroke/

[@cxzmyc]

Simply exhale hard, and no water will enter through.

[@queen-yk9ox]

[@rosarioaguilar8047]

[@theraceclub]

ROSARIO AGUILAR Gracias. Es una belleza quando el nadador utiliza en el modo apropriado.

[@rosangelaabrantes4047]

very good

[@theraceclub]

Thanks!

[@jancowell]

I always hit the water too flat or arc too early without proper airtime. I find it really hard to compromise between the two, what do you suggest?

[@theraceclub]

Try adjusting the head position. If you throw the head too far back and don't straighten it out, you will go too deep. We have some awesome backstroke start videos on our Lane 3 subscription. www.theraceclub.com.

[@virginia22ful]

Espectacular!🤗💖

[@theraceclub]

Gracias, Maria!!

[@benoityip]

i saw you are using a timing board for the foot to step on. in many pool, this is not an option, the brick wall is just too slippery? how can i practise this?

[@heightdevil]

Don't know if it's too late to answer, but a bath towel can add good grip for the start.

[@theraceclub]

+Ben Yip You can curl your toes over just a little bit to give yourself just enough grip not to slip. At a competition there will be a pad and you will have the grip you need... so we let you cheat a little if there is not a pad during practice!

[@elliepop1381]

Si need to get practicing!

[@theraceclub]

Right now!

[@sha4866]

Thanks

[@theraceclub]

You are welcome!

[@gamersingh5875]

How should I take start on tiles?They are slippery.

[@theraceclub]

Good question. Try to put your toes on top of the gutter (if the starter allows it). Otherwise, just don't raise up too high or you will risk slipping.

[@brycewellman6480]

I don't understand why people use nose clips can you please explain. I've always been told to where them but I don't see why exactly. Can you plz help?

[@brycewellman6480]

I've heard it's to help with water going up the nose but I don't see how it goes up on backstroke but not the other strokes. Is it because I'm on my back or is there a more scientific reasoning?

[@theraceclub]

Please read this article by Gary Hall Sr.: theraceclub.com/aqua-notes/wear-a-noseclip-in-backstroke/

[@noonehere4332]

Water gets in your nose because your face is facing up when on your back, which causes gravity to pull water into your nose.

[@karan_kataria0713]

how can i work on the underwaters off the turns, that's where i struggle. (any tips/tricks there)

[@noonehere4332]

Nose clip will help

[@karan_kataria0713]

thx, i will try that!

[@KingPixelCraft]

Squeeze your biceps against your head when streamlining. Point your toes, and go with the motion, using most of the power of the kicks from the hips. Don't bend your knees to much, but a little bit.

[@theraceclub]

Work on a great streamline but also using your legs, whether free or dolphin kick, to help sustain your speed. Keep your head down on the breakout.

[@aanda5009]

Coach, I know it has nothing to do with this video. But how do you do a good breaststroke in-sweep? and what are some stretching exercises that would make your breaststroke kicks more efficient? Thanks!

[@theraceclub]

Andrew Acacia Funny you asked we are coming out with a #swimisodes next week on a drill that is great for working the in swwp in breast... so stay tuned! Thanks for watching!

[@aanda5009]

Awesome! I have pretty strong arms and legs and for a while I was gliding well and was able to a 29.85. For some reason my breaststroke doesn't feel right anymore and I'm only at mid 30!

[@theraceclub]

+Andrew Acacia Did you see the new breaststroke video we brought out? Hope it helps!

[@StefanS1997]

How to increase flexibility for the backstroke start?

[@theraceclub]

Hi Stefan, that's a great question! The most important part of flexibility in the backstroke start would be the lower lumbar. In order to increase the arc you can achieve off of the start you want to do a lot of lower back stretches. However, throwing the head back and flicking the feet towards the surface are going to play a major role in your clean entrance as well. Hope that helps!

[@StefanS1997]

theraceclub thanks

[@stanleychen7707]

Just double checking, but i thought you cant have your feet out of the water before you start. isnt that illegal?

[@theraceclub]

Hi Stanley, You're right about that! We want the toes to be as close to the surface as we can get them without having them curled around the edge. The backstroke wedge has made a huge difference in a lot of swimmer's starts as well. Just like the feet -we advocate keeping the wedge just below the surface if you're able to use it!

[@varsharanimohanty4519]

sir while dive i am too deep in water and struggling to go up so what should I do

[@theraceclub]

You must enter the water at the right angle (about 30 degrees), you must lift the hips slightly at entry so the body is not straight, which will also cause you to go too deep. Hope this helps. With three dolphin kicks to breakout, your head should break the surface between 2.5 and 3 seconds after the beep of the start.

[@flowerwolf8957]

My pool dosen't have the thing he was holding onto, so how do I get out of the water like him?

[@WafflestheGreat]

Flower Wolf just hold onto the edge and do what he did but with the edge of the pool

kk thx waffles!

[@theraceclub]

You cannot do this start without starting blocks and a bar to hold on to and pull yourself up with.

[@flowerwolf8957]

kk good to know!

[@limtaikuan8972]

my dolphins are much much faster backwards.I think it's cuz I'm not doing them right.

[@theraceclub]

Just a backstroke start.

[@edwingaleno4177]

Just to make sure this is perfectly legal in a race? I found some other videos but those starts were illegal

[@theraceclub]

on a gutter, the toes must be below the water level. With a flat wall, the toes can be placed anywhere on the wall. Most big meets will have the wedge today which prevents slipping down the flat wall.

[@VenuGopal-pq7op]

Wow super

[@theraceclub]

Thanks!

[@samisaadeddin1190]

Wait when is the best time to push off the wall

[@theraceclub]

As soon as you can after the beep!

[@freshwhiteguy]

isn't that high out of the water now illegal?

[@theraceclub]

No, particularly with the backstroke wedge, one can elevate as high as possible.

[@omar2898]

thing you coach for all a video

[@theraceclub]

Thanks.

[@joannadearman6023]

When my backstroke start is trash

[@theraceclub]

Start from a high (elevated) position if you are to have any chance of a good start.
