I have just practiced the slow to fast doing an open water swim last night as I have watched your other videos describing the slow to fast concept. I swam 2100 metres at a pace of 2 min 21 sec per 100m (not fast for you "pros" out there). However, that is 20 sec per 100m faster than I swam open water on Sunday, while doing only 750m as well as other recent open water swims. The slow to fast has made a huge difference for me. I can actually feel that my swim feels more effortless, but I am going faster. Thank you for these great tips!!
Hi Brandon...I want to ask you a question thar has alwats puzzled me. Why can it be that I can swim 25 m with 12/14 strokes with one arm extended out in front and the other stroking, but if I use the two arms it goes up to 18/20 strokes? Thanks a bunch.
If you look at it in terms of stroke cycles instead of total strokes (where getting back to the same arm is 1 cycle), then you’re taking 12/14 “cycles” with 1 arm but 9/10 with 2 arms. Also consider stroke rate, and the speed of the lap.
You probably don't glide enough. When you swim with one hand, you cannot "start your next stroke before you finish the previous one". People I saw with high stroke count usually swim like they walk, skipping (some of) the glide part. Swimming is more like skating. You pull and just let your momentum move you forward.
Guys Can someone explain me smt. I used first Time pullbuoy yesterday . I feel weird , first thing i couldnt rotate on the left side , i forced it but it was difficult(on the right side was easier ) but also i feel like in neutral position my Legs was a little bit shifted on right side . I feel every each rotate cause pain in low back part( i have same pain while running). Is that normal? Pullbuoy in this case will improve my rotate?

You should definitely sign up for the 8 week course, I swam a 2.3k at 1:56/100 super comfy and got a sprint 100 time of 1:28, it’s so worth it!
Yes very good hint 👍. No need to rush during the pull because you invest too much energy without catching the water in the optimal way.
That was me chatting to you at Beaty Park, this arvo, welcome to Sunny 😎 Perth 🤣
Thanks for all your help, great channel 👍
This is crucial. Wasted 30 years of my life, ripping at the front of the pull and going nowhere.
Thanks, will be thinking about this next swim.
great tip.. thanks

Swimming on a treadmill🤣. Think about it for a second!🤣 pay attention to fast in the front and slow on the back.
