3. Rayman, on January 8th, 2009 at 19:31:48 Said:
   no because he'll get eventually slow when he stops moving his legs and brethe alot and trust me I went there! :)

   my PB for 50 front is 32.45 sec and am 11 years old and my butterfly is crap my PB for 50 is 43 sec...

   Because he doesnt want to disturb the water, he wantes the water to move with his momentom so now water goes heavily BY him
6. QUTUZ, on January 8th, 2009 at 20:40:45 Said:
   I've calculated that I can keep his pace (25m in 17.1 secs) for about 50m! :))

   why does he stop moving his legs when he breaths? ar eu supposed to do that?
8. Jered, on January 8th, 2009 at 21:26:43 Said:
   I don't, but I know swimmers who do and do so without problems of any sort. There is no universal "right" or "wrong," is my point; it's all relative to your body type and what works for you.

   agry completely with you, his versatility is amazing
10. Naiyah, on January 8th, 2009 at 22:12:41 Said:
    see it for yourself, im asumming that u breath on one side, take a really fast 25-35 m sprint with no breathing and u'll feel how youre stroke feels akward and asymetrical
11. Akando, on January 8th, 2009 at 22:35:40 Said:
    That's what they lead you to believe, that if you breathe every stroke and on the same side you'll develop an impediment of some sort. Absolutely untrue.

    this makes me want to cry! i quit swimming jk but wow
13. URSA, on January 8th, 2009 at 23:21:38 Said:
    apart from the freestyle element of a IM race - you are required to swim front crawl
14. Salford, on January 9th, 2009 at 23:44:37 Said:
    ye man
15. Aleron, on January 9th, 2009 at 00:07:36 Said:
    its a longer race thats why he is taking longer strokes then other short distance freestylers.
16. Colesha, on January 9th, 2009 at 00:30:35 Said:
    E io che pensavo che respirare ad ogni bracciata e ad un solo lato sia da scarsi/dilettanti :D invece vedo che anche i più grandi lo fanno.

    I always use the 2-beat kick in my races, I get a lot more propulsion by doing two hard kicks per stroke as opposed to many less powerful kicks - not many swimmer I know do this buy it helps me.
18. Nashara, on January 9th, 2009 at 01:16:33 Said:
    no he is not overreaching abit cos he is long distance swimmer unlike other guys who were sprint swimmer so distance and sprint front crawl technique r bit different
19. Senet, on January 9th, 2009 at 01:39:32 Said:
    Yh hackett maybe overreaching a bit... Look @ vids with Van den Hoogenband, Sullivan and Schoeman.. Good techniques you can try out in the pool.. Also let some1 record yrself on tape when ur swimming. So you can see for yoursel ur weaknesses in ur stroke...
20. Devonna, on January 9th, 2009 at 02:02:31 Said:
    if ur talkig about ur recovering arm i think ur prob is that ur thiking about moving the hand while it's the shoulder and the elbow that lead the recovery. to familiarize urself with the movement, imagine that ur forearm and hand are merely spectators in the recovery. u rotate ur body to make room for the shoulder than u bring ur elbow from the back to the front in a high circle and put ur hand in the water halfway between ur head and full extension, more or less where ur other elbow is.

    that was in response to dimputhegreat

    Front crawl is the stroke you see in this video, freestyle is a term that encompasses all four main strokes, any are permitted, and indeed front crawl is the fastest and most efficient. In fact one time when I was young I chose to do backstroke in a 200m freestyle event out of exhaustion from previous events.
23. SI, on January 9th, 2009 at 03:11:28 Said:
    they're right about the entry point, at the moment your hand enters the water, your elbow is supposed to be at almost a 90 degree angle (the hand's position should just be in front of your head), then you follow through and extend your arm, slicing the water while gliding, then you "pull". It just looks like they're not bending their elbows as much because the camera's under water and their entry is so fast and smooth you can't see it.
24. Gaspara, on January 9th, 2009 at 03:34:27 Said:
    ya buddy after watching some videos of front crawl and proper freestyle there's slight variation, anyway i feel putting a shark behind in pool will improve the swimming speed.oooolooooooooololololo.

    i think bishys is right. it would be like a "freestyle" race where you could either bike, walk or run, you would bike right? so overtime, people would just call biking "freestyle". technically i think he's right, but in common usuage, you are right (at least in US).
