Can we swim as fast as Adam Peaty? (World Record Speed)

This is my brother. That red line is the world record pace.
That world record belongs to Adam Peaty. That line represents his average speed from his 100-meter breaststroke world record.

That time is so fast that he hasn’t even been able to break it for two years.
Let's see how my brother swimming breaststroke compares to Peaty's speed. My brother is faster than me in breaststroke. But we can’t do a single 25 at the average speed of Peaty’s world record.

Today I'll take a look at Peaty's breaststroke technique and see if I can beat my brother's time.

01:12 - First man under 58 seconds

I'm a 51 yr old X competitive swimmer, I'd of laughed back then (83) if you'd of said someone would go under a minute .
Thankyou for bringing this to all the adults and kids out there.
Yep I'm from 🇬🇧

Wow, my best stroke is breaststroke and this video helped me take my technique to the next level

I started swimming last year as part of the college team and I haven’t swam for 7 years before that so your channel is a great resource to help me improve quickly

I am about to go for my first swim meet thanks to your videos and tips and my effort

[skxjenje]

I just learned to swim and breaststroke is my favourite stroke! I’ve been a subscriber for 6months now. Cool video!

[dmaster]

great video. love the analysis of breast stroke technique and the animation. Great job applying real life examples too.

I'm sure you get this alot, but I've got to let you know. Your channel is by far the best swimming tutorial and swimming channel out there, and your videos really do help. At the beginning of my swim season last year I had a 1:23scy in breaststroke, I started to obsess over swimming YouTube content and especially your channel and 5 months after that, in a single swim meet that was 3 weeks after a previous one, I had dropped 10 seconds from the meet before getting 1:12 which was impressive for myself at the time considering nobody expected it from me. After that I swam everyday during the summer analyzing swim videos and religiously watching your channel. That dedication that your channel inspired got me to a 1:04 breaststroke so far this season. So thank you very much for what you do, your making a huge difference in lives and in this world whether you know it or not.

Damn, didnt know that about the recovery, and i have 9 years as a breaststroker and a swimmer, thanks man❤

[zazugee]

as a freediver, and i read many scientific papers about the physics of swimming, underwater swimming is way more efficient than surface one, bc surface waves rob energy from you, while underwater you only have to deal with hydrodynamic drag, while on surface you have surface wave drag
i noticed your glide phase is very short, i think to get fast you need to train reducing strokes 1st before going fast
most people waste energy by doing unnecessary movements and learn bad technic to go fast
learn good proper technic by swimming slow, reduce stroke numbers, then return to swim fast and you will notice the progress
i started as a very slow surface swimmer and my breast stroke sucked
and yeah, narrow arm stroke is vital to swim fast, the more power you can put in your arms during the hand stroke the more powerful the acceleration, the closer by hands get when i sweep under me, the more explosive my speed get
when i practiced underwater swimming and reducing number of strokes for my anaerobic regime, after it, i had some bouts with some purely surface swimmers, and i destroyed them completely
the recovery phase is slow and brake you completly, so reduce the number of recovery you do on one lap
less recover, means more distance per leg stroke
i also trained to swim underwater on leg stroke alone, and helped me reduce number of leg strokes i needed

Thank you so much i swim breaststroke and i watched adam peaty in the olympics, i nedeed this video

[khalidalhashli]

Thank you for your effort, what I notice that the champion keeps his body, legs and hands, as close as possible, not wide, with narrow movements he breaks the record!!

[אדםקיזנר-יו]

This man is a legend I actually won a medal in my national championship thant his technic

[leticiapena]

Great video, the analysis and technic! Thank you much! Oh, and look back to watch these Olympic champion, is fantastic! and you and your brother are very good swimmers all of you!

[senorjojo]

"Frédérik Deburghgraeve" i can forgive the pronounciation but you could have copied the spelling :D

Still a legendary guy here in belgium!

[NRClips]

I suggest spreading out your dolphin kick from your pull down in your underwater, that way you stay under for much longer and you can get that extra boost. Also, I know you've improved your technique since it's been a year, but if you haven't changed this part of your underwater I would as it helps a TON in the long run.

[jfklittle]

I hate Breaststroke. I hope this videos tipps will improve my relationship with this stroke😄

[peters]

Nice video! Peaty was also swimming long course but the red line is a good approximation.

[CenkAktas]

so close finish :) . very good explanation. I will try whenever I hit the water.

[SA-dpfh]

Thank you for this video! I have been trying to improve my breaststroke and this video helped a lot! Btw I think you won the race.

[arafatirani]

I love swimming. Have been part of many Competition. Breastroke is my favourite stroke.

[Queenfisher]

If you look closely you can see peaty has significantly better shoulder flexibility than yourself/brother. This allows him greater efficiency in the glide phase as well as allowing him to achieve gliding position extremely quickly.

Add dead hangs with shoulders as far out of the sockets as possible to you gym work for a few months and you’ll see significant increase in thoracic and scapula mobility.

You want to be able to touch your head an inch above the top of your ears on both sides with your shoulder.

A few months ago I hated breaststroke, gradually I began to love this technique and passed from 2min 100m to 1min50 to now 1min41, I am so proud of my progress. Hope to break the 1min35 one day
