Can you guys
Answer a question: which many of us are troubled with , that is, is height an important factor in swimming faster
In swimming fast
@@abiramprasad792
I don't think so, there are lot of olympic swimmers who are very hight... more or less the avarage hight is about 180÷190 mm.
If you want to go faster the only think to do is to improve your technic.
The thing that i used to do to swim faster was to swim above the water surface trying to reduce the hydrodynamic friction.
Can send the message to you becouse i am brazilian
@@gabrielmoura3623 You don't have Whatsapp?
the arrow isn’t necessarily used for sprinting, it’s a distance stroke
Yeah true that's what I thought...
He knows that.
I do it in the 400m freestyle
yea, that is why personally when i am sprinting i do boat, but with anything else it is arrow
It's great for triathlon, and saving the legs for the bike and run.
I’m 15 yo’s girl. I have just swam for 2 years and my record for 50m is 32s. This video is so practical and impressive!! Thank you so much for help me understand lots of things about freestyle and help me improve my passion!!!!!!!
As a former competitive swimmer I have experimented with all 4 techniques. For short sprints I like a mix of windmill and boat style. Just bury down your head and swirl! For distances like 100 and 200m I prefer the horse style since its very powerful but lasts you abit longer. For the really long distances I like the arrow style, especially in Open Water swimming. It saves you alot of energy and and the 1:1 arm/leg ratio makes the body take care of the lactic acid better.
exactly. it's just freestyle at different distances. i would say the only one i seldomly used was the horse style. it just seemed like wasted energy. the arrow style was the default to save energy during those long swim practice sets.
@@matthewqtran1318how was it a waste of energy I'm new to competitive swimming and want to improve so I don't really know much
The quality of those videos is amazing, filming, editing, content...
YES
Fact
I was about the say the exact same thing. So true!
If only he did quality check. Just look at 2:28 6:55
One of the best channels about swim... keep going, boys! Cheers from Brazil!
Thank you!
I've been a swimmer for years and this is the best explanation I've ever found. Great work guys - please never stop!
I just realized I was taught the Boat style as a beginner at my mid twenties. The name was never mentioned and I was just taught that that's freestyle swimming, I wasn't even aware that there are different styles of freestyle swimming...
This made me feel a lot better as I switch between 3 of these styles. I am a long distance ocean swimmer now and find its good to mix up styles over the race to prevent fatigue. And some days I dont feel strong and need to be more glidy and streamlined and other days I am pumped up and can work at higher aerobic capacity which influences style a lot.
This is an absolutely fabulous video! You explain everything with concrete, detailed examples and break down the information like others don’t.
Thank you!
Yooo! This made me feel better! I am sprinter in 50 meters and I switched to windmill freestyle. I was swimming 50 freestyle 27 sec about a month with the boat style. With the windmill finally I swam under 26 sec! Thanks a lot!
I use windmill when I am trying to get a new PR
As u should
@F K not too much though bc it is hard on the shoulders
@@marklukens273 it shouldn’t hurt ur shoulders, it means u aren’t rotating enough
I have been training these four styles for the past 3 months, and the one I am most interested in further developing endurance with is the horse freestyle. It’s not the fastest or the most efficient but I want to swim the 100 freestyle faster and I think this is a great style to train to be able to maintain a good pace.
I think the gallop is really good to swim the 200 free
I think the galloping is mostly uselful for the 100 and 200, or for IM swimmers who gotta hold the pace
I watch a lot of swimming videos, and this channel is my favorite. The more I watch the elite swimmers, the more I recognize that they all use the gallop style for anything 100 yards and over. This includes Katie Ledecky, Sun Yang, and others. For me, I can't swim more than 100 yards of freestyle without going to breathing every other arm stroke, which always seems to throw me into gallop style. I am guessing that the key is that it keeps you well oxygenated, more so than breathing every 3rd stroke or so. The more I swim it, the more I prefer it for efficiency.

True that. I do a Horse while sprinting. It is just dead easy and feels so natural to me. It’s like engaging an autopilot of sorts, I don’t have to think about it, it just happens… 😊
In America we call the horse style "galloping". It makes sense when you think about it. Anyway, it's really good for long course 100's and above as well as short course 200's and above. Ive been doing it so long in practice, cuz it's easy, and now I can't swim the 50 anymore even tho I was/am a sprinter. :(
Its ok man, perfect the windmill and speedboat for technique sand always research and train. Also speed comes from that heart of yours, keep your head up you can achieve anything if you put your mind to it.
I use that galloping for the 100 free and the windmill for the 50
@@RigoOXx me as well
I do a mix of horse and boat and I can pretty much all out sprint a 200. It’s great for mid distance
oh man, i feel so inspired by the level of nerdery. I'm a beginner swimmer and your passion has me excited. appreciation from Austin, TX
I'm swimming lover and recreational triathlete. I do all four techniques depending what I want to do. For example, "arrow" with slower tempo when I practice breathing, on 6, 8, 10 strokes, or "windmill" for fast interval training. "Horse" is usually my warming up technique. Actually, it just getting out of me naturally, now I recognised what I'm doing, and I see it makes sense. Fantastic video!!
I started trying horse freestyle after this video (I used to swim closer to windmill) and immediately I was able to hold 26s and 27s on a set of 16 50s where before I could barely break 26 on a single 50. Thanks so much!!
All your videos are so good - I love the anatomical views you provide and the clear explanations for what to look for. Plus encouragement. thank you!! This is my favorite swim channel.
that underwater/overwater view is unique and so helpful
I just started learning swimming and unconsciously do horse style swimming. Been trying to correct my swimming style so my head wouldn't lift as much. I'm bouncing a little too much 😂 I thought there's only one way to swim freestyle. Very interesting!
Just wanted to say thanks, your videos inspire me and today for the first time I got 30 on my 50 freestyle using the windmill method from this video! Thanks!
This is by FAAAAAAAAAR one of the best videos on swimming on youtube and I've seen dozens of hours
Thank you!
Awesome! Makes a lot of sense, informational, and explains down to earth, the differencies in styles among top succesfull freestylers. BIG LIKE MAN!
Awesome in depth video! Keep it up 👍
One of the most informative and hardworking swimming video on TH-cam!
I must say, it's been a while I was looking for some videos with swimming technique and every one here is just perfect. It'll help a lot on my way back to pool. Thanks!
The quality of the video is amazing .... content, filming, editing, explaination, everything is perfect ! Keep going, and thanks !
Really interesting video. I trained for years for masters' swimming in Britain and was very interested in stroke technique. I'm a natural sprinter but prefer middle distance racing, 200s and 400s. I always wanted to swim with a two beat kick but never mastered it!
I like the editing style on this. All meat and no filler. Good use of graphics.
Thank you so much for the style number 1(the first teqnic)!!!!!!!!!!Now I swim very fast and steady!!!!You are the best!!!!!
This is one of the best video ever on freestyle. I (never a pro but a good swimmer) found myself questioning my freestyle while swimming becuase i often switch from one to another. All feels different and on distance longer than 200 i found difficult to chose between arrow and horse. BTW i preattx much think Greg Paltrinieri is on of the horse.
Windmill is often good for all out sprints, with gallop being great for the 100, 200, and 400. Arrow is really good for the early and mid halves of a long race, which toward the last 300 to 150 meters turns into boat as the swimmer brings it home. Very few swimmers utilize all four in the higher levels because very few swimmers span the entire scope of freestyle. Great video
I combined the horse and arrow technique which feels very comfortable when I swim the 400m freestyle
I was about to say that. I combined Windmill and Arrow. Same movement like arrow but a faster pace like windmill
I actually use a mixture of some of these. I find I use 2 and 3 during a game of water polo, 2/horse for when I'm closing the gap on someone and I need to be able to see them and get up out of the water, 3/boat for trying to accelerate without using the wall. The arrow is used for the long swims when training.
Im 5’9” swims 50 free scy in 22.14 and after seeing this im gonna try and change from boat style to windmill just to change things up! Thank you!
Thank you for breaking these down so well with great explanations and analyses. This is one of the most valuable swimming videos I have ever watched.
Excellent video. It's amazing that #4 allows the body to glide and still do well. I can see it for long distances. Thank You.
When I learnt freestyle as a child, it was windmill, and with thumbs first in the water. I had to learn as an adult to take long finger in water first, and bend my elbows to allow rest for my arms during swimming. Still working on perfecting it.
Hi, I loved the video. I'm 13 to 14 and I'm going to the Rioja swimming federation. Tomorrow I will try the gallop technique, it seems to me one of the best. Thank you very much for the video!!!😃
I love the arrow style for a longer, more relaxed swim, but I can't achieve the kick well enough. At my level (I would say intermediate) the boat style is the best. Also, amazing video, so well done! Thank you.
Great video!
I really liked the horse technique.
Also, You can see Ledecky swimming the arrow style on the 800s in Rio. She ended the race almost a pool in front of the second place.
Melhor vídeo que já assisti sobre as técnicas aplicadas ao freestyle!! Parabéns!
I just started swimming, and realize I use the Arrow stroke. I'm trying to increase my lung capacity, so speed isn't really an issue for me, this is just what felt natural. Thanks for a great video.
Amazing effort on your part to learn the different styles!
Super, as always. Full of clearly produced videos, graphics and excellent explanations. Thanks very much team. Wish you guys could come to Europe!
Thanks for this. I'm going back to swimming after a couple of years of break, and I'm sorta annoyed with how much I seem to have forgotten. Feels kinda embarassing :'D
I've been subscribed to you for a couple of years though, in case I got back in. I've always been impressed with your insight and how straight-to-the-point your videos generally are. I don't really feel like I learn something from watching swimming videos by others, but yours I always seem to learn something from. It's pretty cool - thanks again.
Thank you so much for this video!Really interesting!
Realy good analysis of the different swimming types in my opinion, good job and a interesting video. I didnt know, that i am doing the Horse style all the years, during my sprint parts! Thanks a lot. Greetings from GER!
Great video! I recently switched the pool that I practice at, everyone there swims horse and I swim a boat/arrow mix. The coach immediately noticed that my stroke was waaayy longer than everyone else there. Not that I am a “faster” or “better” swimmer than them but just super different styles. For context I used to swim at a pool that nearly all the sets are sprints (all under 200s but on quick times) the new pool is all distance (500s and 1000s).
Outstanding editing skills, great video.
This is great! Not related, but I was doing 25yds butterfly sprints under 10sec 20x with a 10-15sec rest between sprints in college. I had explosive speed but couldn't hold it for 100yrds. Great memories!!! My son is starting to swim and really likes it.
For the horse style, I've always called it 'gallop' but I think many refer to it as 'hybrid'; that is, a hybrid of hip-driven and shoulder-driven freestyle. I've always found it the the most efficient for a 100 and 200, windmill in the last 15.
Really interesting, thanks. My preferred distance is 200m and I find I naturally go into the horse style when training 200s. It feels smooth, powerful and easy to get into a rhythm.
I can't tell you how much this will help me thank you:)))
I'm so glad!
Arrow will be great for open water or long distance. More elegant in my eyes too. Thanks for sharing the info.
Thank you for doing what you do. I have been watching you channel since 2017 and I am amazed with your consistency. Thank you
Thanks for watching since then! Appreciate your comment
I think the horse style freestyle is also known as hybrid (hip driven in one side shoulder driven in another). Go swim tv calls it a loopers freestyle (usually occurs naturally with people with a stronger one side). Go swim tv gave a drill where you swim with 6 kick one pull but in one side you dive in and in another side or pull you come back up.
I switched from my regular swimming to arrow swimming and it made me so much faster!!
Is that because u have reduced ur rest time? Arrow style saves a lot of energy from nearly- no-kicking technique.
@@redgoat8447 i think it's because it forced me to pay attention to my stroke technique and by swimming arrow style, it decreased my stroke count and increased the quality of each stroke :)
@@richardli8888 I practice Arrow Freestyle every work out. You can swim it for power with long powerful pulls, or for efficiency and distance with slower pulls. Yes, because of the slower stroke rate, you can really pay attention to your arm technique. It is harder with paddles on...
Thank you!!
I'm currently using the Arrow style to prep for IM
In your arrow style, when your stretch your leading arm forward, it moves upwards, instead of horizontal. The entry was good and to the depth of your shoulder, then somehow when you move the arm forward, it goes up to near the surface of the water, before your start to press it down again to start the pull.
This causes your lower part of body to sink a little bit and increases drag. Although it is only a matter of maybe one inch or two.
I think the reasons are:
1. You look a little bit forward, instead of straight downwards. That causes your upper body naturally tilts up a little bit.
2. Your front arm is completely relaxed after the entry, so it naturally floats up.
If you pay attention to that, I believe you can fix it with ease and swim even faster.
You check Total immersion swim for arrow swim arms nonsense
Great video and very informative. The editing and filming is amazing! Thanks!
I learnt swimming from TH-cam by myself as looking at huge water bodies was one of my biggest fears... I'm trying to improve everyday....its an amazing video...thank you
Loved this channel! Gave me the will of swimming again. Thx
🤩
Thank you guys for what you are doing from Russia. It helped me a lit to improve my skills in swimming! All the best for you and good luck to your channel!
PLS MAKE SOMETHING ON BUTTERFLY STROKE WITH SAME CONTENT
PLS COME UP WITH A FOLLOW ALONG WORKOUT
I need more information on the windmill freestyle and the horse freestyle
So cool. Thank u for the lesson and glad to see u back
Thank you for your deep analysis. I lean towards the arrow because I swim long distance
Your videos just got a lot cooler!
Actually, Caeleb Dressel (long A by the way) disapproves of the gallop. By gallop, you are transferring energy upward which doesn't do much. Caeleb does stay slightly longer on one side when doing the 100 to save a bit more energy but it is different from a gallop which is more like Michael Phelp's stroke in the 200 and 400 free
He still gallops 🐎
@@SkillsNT it's really not tho...
@@kyleromero820 yeah he does gallop technically. Ur opinion is irrelevant
I like swimming arrow for cool down and switching sides of the pool in between sets as like a calm down type of thing
Windmill is basically super effective with maximum efforts at short distances ( 50m & 100m ) , for a 200m I guess professional Olympians would probably do a mix of the first 2 strokes , and arrow is basically super good when mastered for +400m events , overall great video !
Just know that it can be really hard to pull off and it isn’t conducive to everyone
I use arrow while swimming in a chilled zone, but I prefer to use the horse style while going fast. My coach tells me to use the boat during the sprint but I can't with the 3,4,5 breaths lol, I forget to breathe and end up feeling fatigued haha.
Thank you for making this video btw. I learnt the difference for the first time xD
Thank you! I am finally going to swim tomorrow and I am very excited 😀
Keep up the good work @Skills NT Swimming
Thank you! That's good news! Enjoy!
Bro your editing is on a whole new level 🔥🔥🔥
VERY TRUE
,!!
Hey, another great video as always. Could you do a detailed tutorial on how to do the loping freestyle pls. I would like to develop this style of free.
My style is boat I'm in love with arrow when I see it done and always practice swimming that way. It's also a method I use in correcting arms when they lag a bit much. Like when someone pulls back and then takes a breath, no pillow arm😭
i go arrow mostly but horse for speeding up,arrow for open water too,more relaxed for distance. good vid -thanks
Excellent work dude. You did a great job explaining these techniques. Well done 👍
Fantastic video and guidance! I use two of these styles; #2 and #4
The best channel. I like arrow swimming. Thanks you for this video.
Your observation is super, the way you take 4 style out of a single freestyle. Video making is also great.
our pool shut down for like 2 months because of covid and today was my first day back at practice and i literally died
When I competed, I mostly used a stroke a little between arrow and boat for distance events 500/1650. That last length though it would transition to a higher stroke count more like windmill. For IM and mid distance events it was a lot more like boat.
i choose horse style for speed, arrow style for enjoying swimming---i love how the legs kick so relax
Raul, I may have had an epiphany about the gallop style. Came from another swim channel where she was comparing the back stroke and freestyle arm pulls. Back stroke is like the kayak paddle or windmill, which makes it more constant motion, and less glide then stroke. Freestyle, like your Arrow style, is more of a stroke, then glide, and stroke then glide. With the gallop style, since there is a quick 1, 2, arm pull, then a slight pause, you get only one cycle of glide, instead of 2 for each arm stroke cycle. Still playing around with this. It really works well for my over arm side stroke.
this video is awesome, big thanks. For the horse freestyle, it'sometime described a galop freestyle.
Thank you 😅
OMG~ thats help a lot to me, I wish I can learn swimming in your class
combining the horse and arrow styles creates the ultimate distance swim hybrid
Love it! Thank you very much!
Great works man! Thanks & be blessed.
genial video, justo cuando queria retomar la natacion, me motivó
Mi estilo es el número 4, pero sería interesante probar los otros. Muy bueno el video. Gracias!!!🏊♀️
Muchas gracias por este medio y los demás videos. Son geniales y aprendo mucho. Saludos y bendiciones. Soy su fan jeje 🙂
Your videos are great and very well done . Thanks !
Another fantastic video!!! Congrats great insight & help 🏊🏊
Glad you enjoyed it!
I keep watching this, 20 or more times now. I have been told I over analyze things.... With all the time I have spent on my over arm side stroke, I kind of forgot how to swim freestyle. I am getting back into it some what, mostly for developing more power, and aerobic capacity. One thing I have noticed here, is how the use of body and hip rotation changes with the strokes. With windmill, there very little hip rotation, and minimal shoulder rotation. I do remember feeling this when sprinting, with both my side stroke and my freestyle. With gallop style, there is more shoulder rotation to the breathing side, but since it is more of a sprint stroke, there is still minimal hip rotation. With the boat style, there is more shoulder and hip rotation. With Arrow, there is a lot of shoulder and hip rotation. I find that most of the time, I am in gallop style, even when trying to swim longer distances. I can't swim more than 100 yards without having to breath every other arm stroke. Just me I guess. When breathing every other stroke, I kind of naturally fall into gallop style. If I am swimming more distance style, and trying to do arrow, I still seem to slip into arrow/gallop hybrid style. I find boat easier to do if I am breathing every 3rd or 4th arm stroke, and same with arrow. I do practice all 4 variations by swimming a lot of 50s. I need to expand that to swimming more 100s... I use pretty much the same breathing pattern for my over arm side stroke. Up to 100 yards and I can breath every other arm cycle. over that, every arm cycle...
Yes, divisons of swimming styles.
Each have intricate tellegence.❤️
SO. GOOD!
Thanks!!
The windmill was actually how I learned it first as a kid (age 5-6) and later the boat was how I learned it after getting my third or so swimming certificate (age 8-9).
Though around the age of 12 I said "screw it" to my coach and basically combined things...
Basically just an arrow where every 4th stroke I do a "gallop" though I never really use my legs for some reason.
I'm not a competitive swimmer though I do like to be faster than my friends :^)
This video is FANTASTIC!!! Thank you!
Very true!
