Your analysis is always so helpful! But here you're analyzing the best breaststoke specialist ever. Ever. And I think your theory needs to be updated based on the scientific fact that Peaty is the best ever. Specifically, his low head position. I suspect (and I'm an engineer), that his low head position is lower drag! There's less of a chin-gap, and the water will flow smoothly over the top of his head and his neck. Really brilliant. Then, him holding his hands slightly off his body. It seems less streamlined, but I'm not so sure. Aligators swim like that, where it would be easy for them to clasp their hands to their sides. One thing to think about: on aircraft, they often put tabs sticking out on the wings. Those should cause much more drag! But they don't. They are called "vortex generators," and they make little tonadoes that actually reduce overall drag. More importantly, they reduce flow separation. So, as your videos so beautifully express, it's not perfectly simple. By the way, I swam in the same swim league as Kaye Hall. Swimming has advanced so very far since then!!
Your analysis and breakdown of his breaststroke helped me. I put this into practice yesterday and finally had a breakthrough - I was able to swim laps of breaststroke for the first time ever! I’m rewatching this to refine my technique. Would love to see one for freestyle.
Every great coach I swam for didn't tell me what I was doing wrong, but how to do it right with mindfulness. Great analysis, Peaty is a beast! Would love to see his dryland routine. Thanks
I think one of the best parts of his technique is the way he attacks the water with his arms. He really allows his head to fit tight into a nice pocket through his arms and cut through the water which allows him to keep his momentum.
About the head position during push-off, he keeps the head a little bit low in order to keep the body underwater. Otherwise, he will float up too fast.
There's nothing to analyze other than the metaphysics. Consider how any amateur can swim with the same technique as Dressel but still remain slower. Swimming is the sport of propulsion from qi -- just because newtonian science hasn't come up with a formal proof doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. It's like saying that Mr. Everest isn't the tallest mountain when Europeans haven't discovered it yet.
@@paulzeng6211 when you said "amateur", doesn't that mean that he/she doesn't have the same strength or physical capabilities as Caeleb? I agree with everything else you said though.
Great video as always! As a fellow breastroker, I can really appreciate this. What about some 200m br analysis? Someone like Anton Chupkov or Kirill Prigoda, they both have unique styles(:
I've started doing triathlons. I can only breaststroke. I've had some input from experienced swimmers/triathletes. This video is useful. I'm now a faster swimmer open water in a wetsuit than in a pool. I will be applying some of this video to my next training swim. Think it will help
Make sure to understand your head is heavy and use it to abuse your center of mass to get a better burst during stream line. This might explain why his head sinks deep. Could be to go further in every stroke
Ryosuke iries backstroke technique slips under the radar and he's crazy - he swam an unofficial world record at 2009 duel in the pool in 1:52, at 5 feet 7 weighing 62 kilos that's insane. trained a lot using water bottles on his head for that one. would be mad for analysis
Ryosuke Irie his backstroke technique is just on point and create little splash also his hand entry is very clean, would love to see ur analyzation on his stroke. and did u check ISL back skins of him and ryan murphy? insane!!!
Amazing analysis, what app are you using on your phone to draw on the video? I am a coach who feels that this would be an effective and engaging way to give my swimmers feedback.
Thanks for yet another very helpful video. I'm a beginning swimmer still (after about a year and in my 60's). I don't like doing the flip and prefer to stop and take a few seconds break. My freestyle is ok and I'm trying to learn the backstroke now. I've hit my head on the wall twice though so I thought I'd ask for your help. Its not pleasant and its pretty embarrassing even. Any tips for someone like me? Much appreciated.
Hi Nathan! Does your pool have backstroke flags? If so, you're going to want to find your "stroke count" between the flags and the wall. If you know how many strokes it takes you, you should be able to stop before hitting your head! Check this video out for more help: fb.watch/6uT-WTNsIh/
It would be awesome to have Ian Thorpe’s or PVH’s freestyle even though I’m not sure there are footages with a quality decent enough to get a clear analysis
I’m new to the channel so maybe it’s already been done. But if not, could you do an analysis of Katinka Housszou “the iron lady”, specifically her backstroke.
Given the shape of the top of the head, perhaps the 90 degree recommended position of his head is not as streamlined as tilting slightly more. A flatter part of his head would be exposed to the water if he was at 90 degree
good evening...., I'm from Indonesia, I want to ask..., to go fast in breaststroke swimming, which is more important between hand movements and foot movements? Thanks.....,
Surely Peaty's got his head tucked in against his chest to allow a smoother flow along his body,Team GB track and time trial cycling squad spend a lot of time on wind tunnel testing,it wouldn't surprise me to find the swimmers have an equivalent.
His head angle means his fairly pointy head is more streamlined, you are ignoring the shape of his head when you say he could do better, if you put him in a wind tunnel doing what he does not following your advice it would be come clear.
My only issue with the new breastroke rules is how they allow an action that was an automatic disqualification in my time. Every time an action was allowed by the rules, that action was a replacement of the previously accepted action. The touch-turn action in freestyle was replaced by the flip turn - not added to. The butterfly kick on the backstroke turn replaced the flutter kick off the wall - not added to. The underwater pullout of 1 pulldown + 1 kick replaced the glide off the wall. Now, adding a dolphin kick to the pullout provides an additive result that simply breaks any records achieved apart from any previous records. This means the only "records" that can qualify are those achieved since the inception of the dolphin kick in the pullout. Saying the first person to break the previous record when adding the dolphin kick is a "new world record" is not the same as "the first world record". Seeing this any other way shows disrespect for those before the dolphin kick was allowed. If I were swimming today, I would never use it. I have to know how I compare to my times from the 90s, which I'm sure I'll never reach again.
Do you think that by looking slightly backwards rather than straight down his top line (i.e. his neck) is flatter and therefore offers less resistance? In looking down there may be a slight cavity between the base of the skull and his shoulders/back which creates turbulence instead of smooth streamlined flow. If he looked straight down his face which is flatter than his dome shaped skull offers more resistance. Has anyone done analysis of this in a wind tunnel with smoke stream in the same way as they analyse planes and car streamlining?
I really want to get better at breastroke because I’m really bad. I’ve been watching a lot of vids such as these so I can see how to properly do it cause right now everything is bad.
Super je viens de comprendre mon erreur grâce à ta video..les bras sont bien sûr le premier temps mais je n y mets pas la tête or il faut la tête avec les bras puis les jambes !!! Merci
Which swimmer should we analyze next? Let us know below!
caelebs fly please
Connor Jaeger 1500
Caeleb dressel free
Caeleb dressel freestyle
Thanks for the awesome video. Of course we should see Phelp's butterfly.
I think his kick is the greatest part of his stroke beside timing,its ridiculous hard to keep that kick tempo and power for a race.
he times his kick way before everyone else does. pLus his kick is insanely powerful
His stroke rate is crazy and to be able to keep it up for 200 meters is crazy
Yeah, no joke.

Even the best athletes have something to improve upon!
Sometimes, my swim pro mistakens it because of the angle of the camera. You can't just measure the exact position and how they look in just a video
Your analysis and breakdown of his breaststroke helped me. I put this into practice yesterday and finally had a breakthrough - I was able to swim laps of breaststroke for the first time ever! I’m rewatching this to refine my technique. Would love to see one for freestyle.
Analyze Rebecca Soni
I want her to be analyzed because of her very weird stroke and to this day I still can't believe she holds the world record!
Great suggestion!
Didn’t she have a tiny sculling arm action?
Yaqoub is learning
Daiya Seto Butterfly and Anthony Ervin Free. Some relatively short guys.
Ervin is 6ft 3
Keneth To
Kosuke Kitajima
Vladimir Morozov
Anthony Ervin short? Dafuq
Every great coach I swam for didn't tell me what I was doing wrong, but how to do it right with mindfulness. Great analysis, Peaty is a beast! Would love to see his dryland routine. Thanks

Wow. Best analysis ever. What a great camera and computer.
I LOVE THESE ANALYSIS and the way they are set up... please make more of these videos of olympic swimmers, these videos helps a lot of us coaches
He is on another level.
And that 's what I need to improve my own breststroke! The next one should be Dressel
Great suggestion!
th-cam.com/video/nx-MpT6wLOE/w-d-xo.html
DRESSEL
Definitely there is always room for improvement!
His Tempo is exceptional 👌
Spot on the analysis great job 👍
Couldn't agree more!
I Swim and I love swimming.
About the head position during push-off, he keeps the head a little bit low in order to keep the body underwater. Otherwise, he will float up too fast.

Brilliant Analysis!
I've been waiting for something on breaststroke. I'm good at everything except breaststroke. Idk why
Gotta keep working on it! Glad you found this video helpful!
Thank you. 🤙
Honestly, it's the opposite for me. I'm good at breastroke, but not as good with everything else
@@rebeccawilliams8261 same
Fly is hard
Analysys, breakdowns and explanations are very great stuff!👍
Glad you like them! Happy swimming :)
I love the fact you can appreciate him despite him not being an American athlete ^_^
He’s literally the best breaststroker out there what’s not to love
@@Nick-qc7wm Unfortunately allot of people don't see other people as humans and only see nationality, ethnicity, race, gender etc. so yea.
First time watching your channel... I actually applauded after watching this!!!
Thx.
Aye!!! Nice. Welcome to the club! Happy swimming :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you, for the plain,easy to understand, description, with word by word subtitles. Add oil. 😃💯👌👏👍👍👍💪💪💪
Have a look at how his hips cycle up and over similar to butterfly during his catch to glide/kick transition.
Thank you for this, I got my 100 breast time from a 1:04 to 1:01
I've started doing triathlons. I can only breaststroke. I've had some input from experienced swimmers/triathletes. This video is useful. I'm now a faster swimmer open water in a wetsuit than in a pool. I will be applying some of this video to my next training swim. Think it will help
isnt crawl the standard in tri swimming?
Analyze

Ryan murphy- backstroke
Great suggestions!!
Make sure to understand your head is heavy and use it to abuse your center of mass to get a better burst during stream line. This might explain why his head sinks deep. Could be to go further in every stroke
Would have been helpful to analyze stroke rate and distance per stroke (vs. the competition). This is what is unusual about Peaty.
Plyometric for core. Excellent stuff.
awesome analyzing!
Glad you enjoyed it

Thank you so much Fares Adam Peaty breaststroke helped me a lot
I'd like to have your comments about the shoulders: are they high? Down?
Great analysis 👍
Glad you enjoyed it! Let us know what you'd like to see next!
Katie Ledecky is a prime candidate for analysis.
Please no.
Michael Andrew, Zach Apple, Kristof Milak, and Oliva Smoliga
really helpful analysis. i’m working towards a state cut right now (1:03.69) and this helped me out with my tempo/timing of the kick and pull
how old are you
Fantastic! Very interesting
This was such a useful video
Glad it was helpful!
Also the insweep is a skulling motion using birnoulli’s princple to generate lift.
I love This content.i love swimming.and i like to swim
That’s awesome Ane! Happy swimming!
I review this video to remind myself the main points every time before I swim
That's awesome! Glad we can help!
This is so helpful. Need to work on my kicking now 😀
Good luck! Check out this video for extra tips: th-cam.com/video/CKHOpbEv--M/w-d-xo.html
Ryosuke Irie
his backstroke technique is just on point and create little splash also his hand entry is very clean, would love to see ur analyzation on his stroke.
and did u check ISL back skins of him and ryan murphy? insane!!!
Thanks for the recommendation :)
Great suggestion!
I'm taking these tips before my competition tomorrow, thank u so much for these key points
Hope you did well and had fun! 😃
great absolutely the best anlaysis about adam peaty\
Glad you enjoyed it! Happy Swimming!
Shall your fingers be touching and your thumb out or your whole hand with fingers clued together? Thanks
Whoaaaaa ur face looks so different without the goatee! Looks good both ways, not many people can pull off both, so congrats, man!
haha thanks, Paige! Happy swimming :)
Great breakdown! Thanks!
Have a look at Mitch Larkin's SC 200 Back WR. Maybe the best swim ever??
Great video !
I am a Japanese high school student.
What should I be aware of to swim breaststroke faster?
Подяка за роботу!
Quiz: How many more times is water more dense than air?
You tell me 😂
I love tour videos !! Can you analyze Olympic swimmer Federica Perregrini pretty please ? 🙏
Thank you for watching! Great suggestion!
Brilliant tutorial! Thanks so much! Brilliant!!👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
I found it very useful.
the analysis is pretty good but 6:30 that thing with the 90 degrees angle is totally wrong. U have to look a bit down and form a narrow sharp angle.
Amazing analysis, what app are you using on your phone to draw on the video? I am a coach who feels that this would be an effective and engaging way to give my swimmers feedback.
Please analyze one Hungarian swimmer's technique. They are great swimmers!

Great point!
During the pullout, is it better to pull down wider or narrower
Government shut down the pools and the gyms again :(. Any tips on how i can keep breastroke form despite this apart from running?
Have you analyze Lily King yet? I tried looking for a video but only found this.
His head angle means his fairly pointy head is more streamlined, you are ignoring the shape of his head when you say he could do better, if you put him in a wind tunnel doing what he does not following your advice it would be come clear.

Glad you think so!
Daiya Seto gave one win for the short guys
Plz make a workout video of all strokes. Plz shutout next video plz
Great suggestion!
Thank you so much for fantastic explaining
You're so welcome! Happy swimming!
Can you analyze Jason Lezak incredible performance in the relay of 2008 pls

Hello! Thanks for the analysis! Please make analysis non Swimmer LEDECKY recent win
Do Reagan Smith backstroke pls❤
great video!!
Glad you liked it! Happy swimming :)
You should do an analysis over Cody Miller
Great suggestion!
Yes. I gliding breaststroker would be good as you have both Lilly King and Adam Peaty who are both high tempo breaststrokers.
Stubblety-Cook has the best technique in the world, maybe ever.
Caleb Dressel is a monster too!!
Sure is!
take a look at Cody Millers ankles!
I always wonder like adam peatty glide is like really small. And I'm wondering how he is so fast but no glide.
Leisel Jones for her flat style
You can’t do much glide in a race. It’s more upper body
Hi what turn are you recommending for the medley transitioning from backstroke to breaststroke
