I'm a swimmer for about 7 years now and I still don't have a good backstroke start, it feels kinda embarrasing but this video helped me to adjust my technique, thank you guys
Sir , your videos have inspired me ! I am an adult Female and i have just started swimming! It was my Day 2 at the pool ! I need to work on a lot of things!
food for thought. Last year at 85 I decided I would learn how to swim properly and maybe even eventually join a masters team. I’m a pretty fit person with good upper body strength but little leg power after a bilateral hip replacements. I have actually been doing a lot of kickboard work with burner fins and my quads are slowly getting stronger. Never spent much time under water as I have asthma and it took awhile to get some breath control. Should be able to do some of these drills but the last few, as they say, “ain’t gonna happen.” My oldest daughter has been coaching me and told me backstroke should be my first event. Not much swim advice out there for novice octogenarians but we have taken some from various sites. I enjoy your clear explanations as a teacher myself. Have developed a decent hip driven kick, for an octogenarian that is. Now if I can just avoid getting another respiratory infection I might be ready to give competition a go by summer.
Backstroke has never been a stroke I have cared to do, in part because I have one too many knocks in the head and two, being relatively blind I can't follow patterns on ceilings like I can a thick black line on the floor. Nevertheless this video makes the starts fun to try and the progressions are very helpful for the beginner swimmers that I coach. Thanks Fares. Keep doing what you're doing.
Excellent! I've been trying to improve my swimmers' back starts (7-17). We usually start with a pencil dive at the start, progress to the one you said was like sitting in a car (I call it bean bag drill) and then trying to get hips up while throwing hands back to make a rainbow. I plan to add some of your drills. thanks
@@FaresKsebati So gave it a try with my team - they had a ton of fun with the drill of dropping a ball to kick it at the start. Their starts looked better at the end too. Thanks!
Nice video I just have a question, when i “ hop” I normally have water enter my nose which is really unpleasant. If I do it by facing my face to water then I’m ok but whenever I try to do a start on back stroke i got water into my nose. Any ideas for me please? Thanks so much
You will need to breathe a small stream of air out of your nose. i.e. s steady stream of bubbles, to keep the water out. Take a look at Ivan in the video when he is underwater.....at 0:25 to 0:29 and at 1:03 to 1:07 and at other underwater shots ,,,,you will see a steady stream of bubbles coming out of his nose while he is underwater. This small stream of air forces any water out of his nose when he is on his back and underwater.
Most of the swimming pools in my country do not allow swimmers to use the diving blocks. They are covered and therefore you cannot even hold onto the bars. Please advise how I can do these drills then?
What can I do when the wall of an olympic pool is so slippery, that my feets go down when I push from the wall? I didn't have such a problem in other pools I swam. 🤔
How do you not get out of air when doing dolphin kicks? If I hold my breath, water gets in my nose and into my throat and I have to swallow it and that’s very uncomfortable and bad for the stomach because of swallowing a lot of chlorine However, if I exhale with my nose, I run out air quickly, after around 3 seconds and water gets into my nose again Also, if I try to exhale less, then water gets into my nose
I didn't think curling your toes was legal anymore. Can backstrokers curl their toes on a start? The movie stated it was legal as long as part of your feet were in the water

good drills. thumbnail is far from a perfect start tho lol. holding the shoulders so close to the wall means more unneeded movement and slower to the wall. better to keep the legs/arms at a 90 degree angle and the back straight. explode from there.

Happy to help! Keep up the hard work - good technique takes time :)
I’ve been swimming for 9 years and my start still sucks, you’re fine
😅
I just started high school swimming this year after not swimming for 6 years this video and all others on the channel helped me so much!
Here to help! Keep up the hard work :)
Can you explain or do a video of how the swimmer moves her arms on the first stroke after surfacing. Thanks!
That pool looks so good! Great drills too!

I need this SO BAD. I’m a backstroker and I’m going to Westerns in Canada in 6 weeks and I CAN NOT do a backstroke start lol
I can practice this with diving mask and I really love it!

Glad you like them! Hope you guys have fun :)
Thanks bro
vids really help
I have titanium rods in my back from L2 - S1 so arching the back is not a great option. What is a second best start to use?
So thank you cuoch

Thank you very very much sir
Algún miércoles de pizarra donde expliques la salida de espalda usando el arrancador. El aditamento que ahora se usa para salidas de espalda.
Excellent

You just need the touch pad to give you grip don’t worry
Let go of the hand bars earlier that helped me
Backstroke wedge helps a bit
Good one dear sir
What size med ball are you using?
I could not blow out air from my nose while swimming backstroke. How do you think I could practice it?
Hi. Can you tell me how to not panic with the feel of water over ur face in the start... Even though I exhale i keep inhaling the water.
0:50,1:51,(2:33-2:56)4:19,4:48,(6:48-6:55)(7:28-7:50)8:30
Fares, you were supposed to do a couple of starts and have him critique your start!!!!
How do you not get out of air when doing dolphin kicks?
If I hold my breath, water gets in my nose and into my throat and I have to swallow it and that’s very uncomfortable and bad for the stomach because of swallowing a lot of chlorine
However, if I exhale with my nose, I run out air quickly, after around 3 seconds and water gets into my nose again
Also, if I try to exhale less, then water gets into my nose
when I tried doing this I always go to the bottom instead of coming up with dolphin kick and also exhale goes off midway
