The ANALYSIS of WIFFEN, 55 average on 800 (WORLD Record)

[@TheFRENCHSwimCoach]

My SENSORY TRAINING WEEK for an EFFECTIVE freestyle stroke (from coaching over 3000 people): www.thefrenchswimcoach.com/ (including the MAGIC PALM exercise in video)

This guy doesn't kick until the final 100. Keep that arm cadence high and the kick cadence minimal.

Wow great analysis thanks just made a few things clearer to me. 😊

[@TheFRENCHSwimCoach]

Thanks for the comment ! My pleasure !

I just got one question. If there is wave resistance and its better to be right below the surface of the water. Why don't we see other pros doing this technique? Like david popovici? He propels himself above the water.

[@TheFRENCHSwimCoach]

Many pros use this technique now : i analysed popovici this week ;-)

Gona be a great Olympic final, Go Wiffen. His stroke rate is phenomenal and rythmic.

[@TheFRENCHSwimCoach]

can not wait to see it

I started my swim lessons in 2nd grade. Today I am 35 years old and still enjoy swimming. My average 100m freestyle time is around 1:40, 1:35 on a good day. Would like to get even faster and in-depth analyses like this really helps. It really is much appreciated! Cheers from Bulgaria!

Thanks for the comment ! My pleasure ! Good day from France ;-)

2nd and 3rd in this race weren't that far behind...do they swim almost identically to Wiffen and that the reason Wiffen is in front is that he is a better turner than the others?

[@TheFRENCHSwimCoach]

On his WR in SCM? Maybe he has better turns yes but he also swims 14'34 1500 LCM !

Well done Daniel Gold in the Olympics 🎉

[@TheFRENCHSwimCoach]

Amazing race !

[@trn8061]

Interesting analysis. Good work. His breathing also allows more lift force to lean onto in the front of his body. More air at the correct time to keep him/ push him up when he's commimg down after his breath. This facilitates the galop but he keeps it very liniar and efficient. Moving more energy forwards that up and down. His timing is key. It's a knife edge but he is doing it well. Marvelous to watch.

[@TheFRENCHSwimCoach]

Exactly ! Beautiful swim ! Thx for the comment ;-)

[@StuWebRT]

I thought you couldn’t submerge completely anymore

[@TheFRENCHSwimCoach]

Why ?

[@andrewthomas8737]

Are you saying to bury your head as such ??

[@TheFRENCHSwimCoach]

To re-submege BUT while staying streamlined

[@andrewthomas8737]

Magic palm drill ? Feel for water or help with high elbow catch?

[@TheFRENCHSwimCoach]

Go far in front of the shoulders which helps THEN catch
