So very sad to hear this. Think it will take a while to come to terms with the passing of such a character in swimming.

I practice a similar technique, but base it on the 'hollow body' principle. A technique used by gymnasts. It really increases glide time.

To improve, you really need to look at what the weakest link is in your stroke.

It depends on how you interpret what is happening. Water molecules are round, and adopting a barge like shape to force your way through them only creates drag. TI is about becoming fishlike. Fish...

Grant (and Richard), what an inspiration you are. The sense of frustration at your increasing lap times is palpable.

If you are training for speed, there really has to be a more dynamic extension of the arms. Opening of the arms is slow and controlled, as it should be.

Seems to me he over-rotates taking a breath, and then his buoyancy brings him back up a bit, and then he repeats the process sinking going for air?

Some things you can't learn from video, and you can't copy them. You have to intellectualise the theory and then apply it.

This is where I have been focusing my attention on for quite a while now. I think it is far too simplistic to say the strokes are either long-axis or short-axis. I believe the butterfly is the...

I think Terry covered the idea of 'continual propulsion' with his Perpetual Motion instruction videos. I can see the similarity in thinking, and the skating looks great fun by the way.

Fooboo, I totally agree with all you say in this post. You are on the right track, and have found your way through hard work and intuition rather than video. Well done.

Recovery of the arm in freestyle means that one shoulder will be out of the water, due to rotation of the body. The shoulder drops when the recovering arm enters the water. In freestyle only one...

Tahevol, in my opinion, you are on the right track. As long as the more forceful kick results in a decreased SPL, or lap time.
If you are using the catch correctly, you can only benefit from a more...

Woodward, are you right-handed?

I have a reluctance to breathe on my right hand side and always...

John, you are on your side when you do the underswitch drill. With, say, your left arm extended. Right arm is by your side, and you are propelling yourself with a gentle flutter kick.
