Hola, creo que eres mejicano, porque he visto otros vídeos tuyos hace tiempo. ¿por qué no los haces también en español? ¡És tu idioma!. Y ¡es el segundo idioma más hablado en el mundo! Estoy seguro que tendrías muchas más visitas. por cierto, tus videos son muy buenos. Un saludo desde España.
Today I tried the backstroke,I heard the kick must be powerful and hips must be,strong when I swim I swam halfway and stop on 50 m ,I drank two times of water.
I am an adult swimmer who is returning to swimming as a form of fitness. I am just learning the backstroke and this video is a tremendous help. Thank you.
I'm a backstroke swimmer and watching this will definitely help me improve because my rotations always let me down but with these drills it will definitely become better Thank you!!
Just got home from a big 50m pool meet, my 50 backstroke didnt go as well as i hoped and i've been going through the race like a hundred times.... I really appreciate you guys making videos for us younger swimmers. Now i know what i need to improve and work on
I’m a recreational swimmer & find the backstroke exhausting but exhilarating. I’ve certainly learnt some tips that I will put into practice today. Thank you for your content 🤩
As a teenage, i used to do 28" in 50m backstroke with a teeeeeeerrible start and underwater... I think i did some miracle in the swimming part. Lol... Amazing video as usual. Thnx ,🇧🇷
Renan Faraon e eu que assisto os vídeos dele e nem sei nadar kkkkkkk nem piscina acessível aqui tem. Eu só assisto para quando chegar numa piscina não morrer afogado e prq ele é gostoso. Somente kkkk 🇧🇷
Why TH-cam suggested this to me, I don't know, but I am utterly mesmerized by this! I'm not a strong swimmer, but just seeing this video was inspirational! The technique is so graceful! Thank you for sharing your skill! You absolutely gave me some ideas to try to become better!
i’m a young swimmer( i’m 11 years old) and i’m the best in britain at the moment for my 50m backstroke i’ve got a 33 before but my time for long course is 34 something and i watched this and i’m going to try and break 30 in the next year!
I've been following you guys for a few years now, and this is one of the best instructional backstroke videos on the entire internet. Your content keeps getting better and better. Keep up the great work!
Great technique! I was a backstroker myself ( 200m in 2m 14 seconds as a 14 year old ) and I can say your style is flawless. Only thing that I would change on yours is swimming a little bit less powerful and doing instead a little bit faster rotations :) But waaw, impressive!
Those dolphin kicks are so pleasant to watch! I reckon the sharp-angled breakout is the reason why I keep having a bad start. As a heavily short-sighted person, it is quite hard to judge if I'm close to the water surface or not yet. Will keep practising. Thanks for the great and very educative video as always!
Thank you. I really enjoy your video. I have been trying to teach myself to swim for a few years now, and backstroke is the hardest to pull for me. But this vid has helped tremendously.
Very good video, My name is Daniel. I from to Ecuador, I live in Guayaquil. I am a swimmer. My style is back. I am 52 years old. My last time in 50 meters was 34 seconds. but my best timer was 32, I think I try make this exercive and down my time. Thanks.
Excelente video 💪🏼. Muchas gracias, describe claramente todas las partes donde debemos prestar atención y nos brinda ejercicios precisos para trabajar en ellas. 🤜🏼🤛🏽 🏊🏼♂️🏊🏼♀️🏊🏼♂️
Another excellent video, and you answered a few questions that I have had that no other video I have seen does. Main one was about linking the kick to the arm pull. What 'felt' right is the way you do it, one arm pulls, and you kick forward with the opposite leg, which is the opposite from what we do with freestyle. One question on the finish part of the arm stroke. Since my main stroke is the side stroke, I get to observe a lot of swimmers... So, many, to varying degrees, in the last 1/2 to 1/4 of the arm sweep, rotate their palm over so it is flat/parallel to the top of the water. I would think you would want it to stay at that 90 degree angle until your palm is pretty much on your leg, and then for the arm recovery, the palm is in least resistance position. I would think that as soon as your palm rotates over, you start losing thrust. I did practice this with kick laps and just the finish part of the arm stroke. I had one lap pal ask me about how I breath on my back stroke. I found out that I exhale as I do the arm pull. I do practice Arrow back stroke along with Arrow freestyle and side stroke. Do you have any secrets for touching the wall to stop the clock? My stroke count is never very exact, and I have to guess. Most of the time I glide way to far. I haven't hit my head on the wall, at least not yet... I had hoped to make your swim camp in San Diego, but a birthday party for one aunt who just turned 100 conflicted with the date. Next time you are in the US, especially if you are on the west coast, I will make it. Also, some thing I would find fascinating would be a poll of your viewers. Age, days per week in the pool, length of workouts, and maybe some best times for different strokes, distances, kicking, and maybe other things. Oh, are you ever going to get your own logo swim trunks? Don't have enough hair for a swim cap to be practical.....
Wish I could come to your swimming camp. I am new swimming just learning how to swim and am struggling with most if not all the swimming strokes. But I'll keep practicing.
это видео мне сейчас очень и очень вовремя, все в деталях разобрано и сжато , спасибо! на 0:27 - подводный пешеход, на заднем плане, очень интересный .)
To add to my previous comment, I have applied the 'Arrow' freestyle technique to my back stroke, swimming it with a 2 beat kick rather than the 6 beat kick. It feels like when in full stroke and kick that my timing isn't correct. Just have to practice the Arrow style a lot more so I can feel it without thinking...
I think one of the main reasons people have the "crossing hands" problem is because of swimming programs as children. Where I live, it's called "learn to swim" and they teach kids to "chop your ears" when swimming backstroke. That's basically because the head is much larger as a child. In fact, correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe your head actually grows at all. As a kid, with your big head, if you "chop your ears", you've basically got a straight arm parallel with your body. But as an adult (or even teens), "chopping your ears" ends up with you crossing your body. I think there needs to be some kind of program that teaches children what they need to change as they grow up, as I still thought I had to "chop my ears" until my coach corrected me.
jade baboolal for me when I’m at I meet and I do a backstroke and It’s last 25 I’m scared to hit my arm hard at the end cause I always do so I slow down and that’s why I’m extremely slow 😁
I'm obsessed with this video because I'm trying to master backstroke (which I swam back in high school). I'm a bit rusty though. Currently, I'm at at 1:40 so I have a ways to go to break 1:00. I'm also 5'8 and could gain some strength. Can you shed light on how height and BMI affect performance? Also, please come to the east coast! New York! :-D
Well, perhaps only I would notice this and comment on it, and it might be worth another video eventually.... There are a number of subtle differences between the flutter kick used in freestyle, and in the backstroke. It seems to me that there is much less flexing at the hips, and more flexing at the knees. This would be because you are on your back rather than on your front, so you can drop your heel deeper into the water to get that 'most efficient' angle for your foot/oar to provide thrust than you can on freestyle since you don't want to lift your heel out of the water. Too much flex at the hip creates huge amounts of drag, especially when compared how much drag your heel and lower leg would make. Also, with my side stroke it is easy to observe other swimmers... For reasons not totally understood by me, many who have problems with plantar flexibility in freestyle, they all have much less of a problem with that when doing the back stroke flutter kick....
You know what’s funny? A couple weeks ago at a swim meet I swam a 36.12 in the 50 back as my backstroke wasn’t so good at the time, I got some advice from one of my older teammates and the next day I swam a 1:11.70 in the 100 back so my splits were under 36.12. I was just missing technique
It's been so~~~ long! So good to see you again ♡♡♡ I am having a hard time to get used to swim backstroke. Especially it is so hard to breathe if I swim backstroke 100 m, though I can swim freestyle without breathing problem like 1000m. I guess I breathe too much while doing it and hope it gets easier to breathe while swimming backstroke in a very near future. Yesterday was a new year's day in South Korea following the lunar calendar. I was depressed a little bit with a cloudy start of this year. But thanks to you I am more excited ^^ Happy new year ☆
Coming back to this one again, 2 years later.... I find it interesting that you link the pulling arm to the front side kick/power kick on the opposite side. With freestyle, it is the opposite way, which you do mention on your Arrow freestyle video, where the power kick links to the pulling arm, and not the recover arm. This is why I feel that the shoulders drive the hip and foot rotation, and not the other way around. Hips act more as a universal joint to transfer energy from one end of the body to the other. When standing on the ground, that is your anchor for land based sports that use rotational energy. The only anchor you have in the water is your pulling arm. 2 beat freestyle shows this pretty clearly. There is a 6/6 drill for freestyle, while on your side, 6 kicks, then a quick snap roll to the other side and 6 more kicks. If the hips drive the shoulder rotation, how come the shoulders, specifically low side, which is the pulling arm, rotates up slightly before the hips rotate?
Si, efectivamente el dorso es la patada de delfín y hacer que las piernas puedan hacer el resto. ¿Cómo mejorar la parte aeróbica en las vueltas para poder hacer 6-7 patadas y no 3-4? Saludos
Excelent video like always!!!!! One thing I will try is to increase the dolphins kicks... “half of the race has to be under water” what a challenge!!!! Thanks!!! And... I think I’m the cup winner 😅
Yes! That will improve your time but only if you practice a lot and make your underwaters faster than your swimming. Keep up that good attitude! Swim fast!
Great video and fantastic instructions! However, as an official, I need to point out that it is not allowed to "adjust the distance to the wall by continue kicking". The rules (SW 6.4 ) state that the turn must be initiated with a single or double arm pull immediately after turning vertical to the breast. This must be one continuous motion. You are not allowed to adjust the distance to the wall by kicking. Doing this will result in a DQ.
Thanks for your input, I understand the rule, but I don't understand why it only seems to be enforced at a highschool level but at the Olympics everyone does flutter kicks after they turn and no one is disqualified. Maybe you can clarify what's going on.
@@SkillsNT I wish I could give you a straight answer to this question, but the truth is I can't. As you point out, this behaviour can be observed during pretty much every major swimming event, but the rule is rarely enforced. It's as if swimmers tip-toe the rule. It's not just backstroke - check any major event and you'll see a bunch of breaststrokers make a first dolphin kick as they dive in, hidden by the stream of bubbles, and then a second one during the pull-out. They all do that to gain an advantage. But no backstrokers turn too early to gain an advantage. Sadly, I suspect that reporting a high profile swimmer sometimes is a bit intimidating for a judge, even though the referee has pointed out during the briefing that he wants the inspector of turns and timekeepers to make sure they enforce this rule. But that's my personal opinion. In my opinion, the rule (SW 6.4) should be changed for one simple reason: If you rotate your body past vertical towards your breast too early you lose speed by only being able to kick, so you don't gain anything from turning too early. I want to make ONE more point. The difficulty of sensing/gauging the distance to the wall is typically somewhat more difficult in a race situation than during training. This highlights the need to train at race speed sometimes. And when I say race speed I mean ALL OUT! I loved this video and I am a big fan of all of your content. The focus on race speed in this video made it stand out even more. 🤘
Cool... could you please upload a video for underwater dolphin kick. Your arrow freestyle improved my freestyle swimming in many ways. Thanks a lot... 🥰🤗😊
Buenos días! Quería pediros por favor si podéis hacer un vídeo sobre un entrenamiento a largo plazo que sustituya a la natación en la medida de lo posible! Nada sustituye a la natación... pero aquí en Europa y en Francia donde yo estoy parece que las piscinas van a estar cerradas durante al menos mes y medio o dos meses y muchos nadadores vamos a sufrirlo. Yo nado con el club de la universidad y ya nos han anulado todas las competiciones de esta temporada y los entrenos pues bueno, hasta nuevo aviso. Tampoco tengo claro que pueda nadar con mi neopreno si empiezan a restringir a la gente la salida a la calle, como en italia. Una manita por favor! Gracias por todos vuestros consejos!!
Man this channel is gold! You guys are great! I just started learning and tje biggest issue for me is keeping my legs up - they just drown on backstroke. How do I keep them close to water surface? What to do?….
Can anyone tell me what is that movement called when he enters the pool. The arms are straight while legs flip until he starts swimming the backstroke, Thanks
Stroke rate is key to be able to swim faster backstroke (and all the other strokes). I find the only way to increase the rate is using a tempo trainer, which will make you keep the pace. It'd be interesting to know what stroke rate is used in that 50m, probably between 90-100 strokes per minute. And yes, underwater and leg endurance is a must, goes without saying!
Wish I found your channel earlier! I was swimming for years but my coaches were very negligent and my technique is not correct 😔 hope I can inprove on my own now
@@SkillsNT I have found myself improving my skills, and speed as an adult. My mum saw me swim once, and also commented that I was a better swimmer now than as a kid.
Question please. Id like to swim the backstroke with easy. I know (do) 2 beat front crawl . Is there a same method such as 2 beat back stroke at all? If I kick like in this video, I can't swim longer. Thank you.

Hola! Dónde son los campamentos? Soy de Colombia.
Muchas gracias!
This is very good video for competition style
What a fab video for an amateur
How to avoid water enter nose when do backstroke? Can we use noseclip?
Buenos días! Quería pediros por favor si podéis hacer un vídeo sobre un entrenamiento a largo plazo que sustituya a la natación en la medida de lo posible! Nada sustituye a la natación... pero aquí en Europa y en Francia donde yo estoy parece que las piscinas van a estar cerradas durante al menos mes y medio o dos meses y muchos nadadores vamos a sufrirlo. Yo nado con el club de la universidad y ya nos han anulado todas las competiciones de esta temporada y los entrenos pues bueno, hasta nuevo aviso. Tampoco tengo claro que pueda nadar con mi neopreno si empiezan a restringir a la gente la salida a la calle, como en italia. Una manita por favor! Gracias por todos vuestros consejos!!
Thank you for making this video 😲😲😲
Brilliant video
Super swimming you are rock ,hope I can catch you one day
Thank you.
Eu adoraria uma legenda em português, please. This is very important for me!
God DAMN, you are fast! Amazing video and amazing swimming! Respect!
That's no where near fast
@@titanassamelis2260 You think he's slow?
Avery Carole He‘s fast but in my club we have a backstroke-swimmer who swims 50.9 on 100m Back
PS: He really is very good and went to the world championships/European championships
Man this channel is gold! You guys are great! I just started learning and tje biggest issue for me is keeping my legs up - they just drown on backstroke. How do I keep them close to water surface? What to do?….
飛び込みが綺麗すぎる
Need a video like this for butterfly!!
would you please show us some excersices for flexibility. ?? to hips and joints . please answer
What’s the best nose plug I could get?
Why did they change the backstroke flip turn to allow you to turn on your front and do one freestyle stroke?
Is it okay to star lat pulldown or pull ups for 12 y kid..thanks
Can anyone tell me what is that movement called when he enters the pool. The arms are straight while legs flip until he starts swimming the backstroke, Thanks
Thank you!!!
Awesome! Those video are the best
U look so damn great doing all these
Stroke rate is key to be able to swim faster backstroke (and all the other strokes). I find the only way to increase the rate is using a tempo trainer, which will make you keep the pace.
It'd be interesting to know what stroke rate is used in that 50m, probably between 90-100 strokes per minute. And yes, underwater and leg endurance is a must, goes without saying!
❤ I have a question: I keep bumping in lines when doing just leg kicks on a back , why is that happening?
Hey! I have a question - how should I improve my dolphin kick for backstroke, freestyle break out at home or in practice?
yes
Hi ! Could you make a video how practice exit without having a platform
Muchos videos en ingles , prefiero en español y así no dejo de mirar en detalle los videos.. Que estan muuy buenos . slds.-
Wish I found your channel earlier! I was swimming for years but my coaches were very negligent and my technique is not correct 😔 hope I can inprove on my own now
Thank you! Yes you can definitely improve on your own 🙌
@@SkillsNT I have found myself improving my skills, and speed as an adult. My mum saw me swim once, and also commented that I was a better swimmer now than as a kid.
Question please. Id like to swim the backstroke with easy. I know (do) 2 beat front crawl . Is there a same method such as 2 beat back stroke at all? If I kick like in this video, I can't swim longer. Thank you.
Superb! Thanks.
