    A list of women's 400m world records for perspective:
    2:56.48 - immersion (this event)
    3:12.10 - surface (swim with snorkel and monofin)
    3:44.65 - bi-fins (swim with snorkel and two fins)
    3:56.40 - freestyle (normal swimming)
    4:26.36 - individual medley
    47.60 - running

    • @liambohl
      @liambohl ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Surface finswimming looks a lot like this, where competitors use an undulating motion with their arms forward in a streamline position. Bi-fins finswimming looks like freestyle, but with a fin on each foot.

      What really amazes me it that it seems such a “developed” sport with equipment and technique seemingly standardized and medal favorites too. Is there a practical application to this sport? Are they faster than free style? Could a scuba diver hold his tank forward like that to swim faster for a bit? So many questions I now have!

      Ok, there we have it: since you, sir, are not an athlete, but rather a spectator, you regard sports as a game for your amusement, which makes your argument a valid one. I was one (not a pro), so as that and as a Lifeguard, I can asure you no athlete regards his or her sport as a game, let alone regard themselves as sircus clowns for the amusement of the masses. Perhaps a necessary evil, perhaps just as a necessity, because that is where the money comes from and athletes need to eat.
      I, as a free diver, was totaly oblivious to anything besides the distance between me and the depth mark and then back up to the surface. As a long distance swimmer, when you swim for 5 miles you meditate, you think of nothing at all, else you freak out. Swimming for three hours while conscious is boring.
      I allow myself to assume you are a very young person. I believe one day you might understand what I am saying here. It is mind over matter and a body is all matter. It is between me and it.

      @techsupport00 4 ปีที่แล้ว +70

      @@simonlove99 It is different because when normal swimmers have to breath they have to raise or turn their head which slows them down because it takes increased effort and takes time to breath. Because of that swimmers have to work on breath control in order to lower the amount of times they breath to lower their race times. Which takes a lot of time to do. These swimmers do not have to worry about that or getting tired because of being out of breath because of the air tank. They also have fins which allow them to kick much much faster and harder.

    • @simonlove99
      @simonlove99 4 ปีที่แล้ว +28

      @@techsupport00 Thanks for explaining the difference and I can understand the point. I can see the effort, control and practice that is required around breathing to perform in your particular sport. However, I'm pretty sure you also have to work hard on technique, endurance, muscle strength, steamlining, timing and many other facets to be competitive also. So Gina declaring 'takes the point out of competitive swimming' because one facet of the sport is different seemed to miss the mark to me. Fins are also not relevant to the competitive nature of the event - everyone is equally matched, so all that happens is the speed goes up and everyone needs to develop stronger leg muscles to handle the fins. Arguably it also increases the challenges with nailing the turns as you're approaching the end of the pool at a higher speed, therefore timing is more critical. As you can see, as a layman, I think the original point was somewhat unfair.

      As I replied to others' comnents: this is not their native language and for a niche sport like this they don't need to import a native English speaker commentator who is likely gonna be a celebrity type drama queen requesting attention and making it all about themselves. Meanwhile, Americans speak 1 language, judging from your last name, you probably speak 2 languages. But that's not because you learned it at school or a language course, but because you were born to immigrants. That's a fact. So think twice before you run mouth about some random Serbian guys commenting in a language they learned at school, in a language that is not present in their country (I know that for Americans it's hard to grasp that not everyone speaks English in their countries, etc.). You can run your mouth about it once you learn a foreign language that is not present in your environment and then go on national television or at least TH-cam and speak on camera in that language. Simple as that.

True story. Probably two years ago, I’m on a train in Italy, I swear, the same dude walks up and asks if I like beets. True story. I tell him “yes” and then ask if he remembers me. He did! True story. We have coffee later that day and he’s a heck of a guy. We ended up hanging out probably 20 times over the course of that year and becoming great friends. True story.

    I know the monofin from rescue swimming competitions but I've never seen this yellow thing.
    It's actually harder than it looks to swim with that type of monofin. I was a trained swimmer and rescue swimmer. We sometimes used fins in training but these fins are way harder. It needs time to get used to. In the beginning I got cramps after just a few meters even though I was a trained swimmer. But it was so much fun being a lot faster with these fins. I never knew this event exists. Now I'm too old and sick for anything competitive but I still love the water 💚
