There is also another perspective why he is looking at the wall before the flip, he is creating momentum for the flip to make it faster and to maintain the speed after the push, its a complementing move that initiates the flip turn with higher gyroscopic speed.
Well, a couple of things here. You never showed a full arm stroke when Ryan was swimming the back stroke. It looked like he was pulling in an S shape. Initiates the pull deep, then come up to the surface, then finish with a down rather than backwards push. For flip turns, without exception, all of the Olympians raise their heads slightly coming into the wall. This does 2 things. One, you have to see the X on the wall, and never depend on the marker on the bottom/floor of the pool. NEVER. ;You have to sight the cross on the wall to make positive position and contact. Raising the head slightly also contributes to rotation, and it is a trick that gymnasts use. When you tuck your chin, this movement adds to the rotation when compared to head low or in line with your body and spine. Use of the hands in the flip turn. Again, without exception, all of the Olympians are doing this, including Caleb Dressel and Katie Ledecky. Watch any of their underwaters. There was a trend for a while that taught that using the arms was 'wasted motion'. As near as I can tell, no one teaches that any more, and for a good reason. Yes, it is important to be able do get the rotation without the necessity of using the arms, as this puts emphasis on tucking in your chin and using your abs to fold, and learning this without using your hands is part of learning a flip turn. You also use your back muscles to pull your legs up and over and get them on the wall. To understand this, think about bending over and touching your toes, then straighten up to standing upright. This is all back muscles. This is why you do back planks, well, part of the reason you do back planks. Using your arms and hands, in a pulling motion, at about the same bend angle that you use in your arm pull adds considerably to your rotational speed. Not one single swimmer I saw at the recent Olympics had 'neutral' hands when doing the flip turns. I have seen some that will use a deltoid pull, but it is not nearly as powerful as a bicep curl.

So, whenever you do your catch phase of breaststroke, it has to be very fast; it is the fastest part of the stroke. So I have a question for you: do you have a fast or slow catch phase when you breathe? Hope this helps if you dont reply!
Just to explain a little further, if you have a slower catch phase, your hips are gonna drop like rocks. That is something I had to fix quick because it was destroying my 100 breast time
@@andrewoestmann9826 yes i have a slow catch phrase and whenever i breath i just sink to the bottom so its not only my hips btw thankyou soo much for replying you really made my day
It kind of happens naturally. If you stand, with feet planted at about shoulder width, and start pivoting your shoulders and hips, your arms will start to follow that pivoting. In the water, the feet kind of follow the rotation. More so on the 2 beat kick, less so on the 6 beat kick where #1 kick follows the shoulder rotation, and 2 and 3 kick are not effected by body/shoulder rotation. About 45 degrees or so to either side. I figure that the 50 meter sprint people don't rotate as much as the distance swimmers, as well as not getting the full extension that distance swimmers do.

guys, rotation in backstroke is KEY! i cannot stress this enough, that is how i injured my shoulder.
Very helpful analysis!
Glad to hear it! Happy swimming :)

Here is Dressel using his hands during flip turn in competition. The video is by myswimpro. th-cam.com/video/0LM02wexbNg/w-d-xo.html
Should probably do an analysis on Summer McIntosh's 400 IM
Put Carson foster analysis
Great suggestion!
@@FaresKsebati thankyou sir!!
Do you suggest using form smart goggles. Please clarify

I wanted to ask how do I prevent sinking after doing breaststroke arms please reply

In freestyle is the rotation natural from your arms or do you force the rotation
It kind of happens naturally. If you stand, with feet planted at about shoulder width, and start pivoting your shoulders and hips, your arms will start to follow that pivoting. In the water, the feet kind of follow the rotation. More so on the 2 beat kick, less so on the 6 beat kick where #1 kick follows the shoulder rotation, and 2 and 3 kick are not effected by body/shoulder rotation. About 45 degrees or so to either side.

Thanks Sir
Lochtes freestyle form is among the worst of everyone at a world class level. Hes very dependent on underwaters.
Tell god u love him one prayer can change the world
God love everyone
let the video flow more, there is too much useless information, put less information, more useful and important
