Which swimmer should we analyze next? Let us know below!

I think his kick is the greatest part of his stroke beside timing, its ridiculous hard to keep that kick tempo and power for a race.

Your analysis is always so helpful! But here you're analyzing the best breaststoke specialist ever. Ever. And I think your theory needs to be updated based on the scientific fact that Peaty is the best ever. Specifically, his low head position. I suspect (and I'm an engineer), that his low head position is lower drag! There's less of a chin-gap, and the water will flow smoothly over the top of his head and his neck. Really brilliant. Then, him holding his hands slightly off his body. It seems less streamlined, but I'm not so sure. Aligators swim like that, where it would be easy for them to clasp their hands to their sides. One thing to think about: on aircraft, they often put tabs sticking out on the wings. Those should cause much more drag! But they don't. They are called "vortex generators, " and they make little tonadoes that actually reduce overall drag. More importantly, they reduce flow separation. So, as your videos so beautifully express, it's not perfectly simple. By the way, I swam in the same swim league as Kaye Hall. Swimming has advanced so very far since then!!

Your analysis and breakdown of his breaststroke helped me. I put this into practice yesterday and finally had a breakthrough - I was able to swim laps of breaststroke for the first time ever! I’m rewatching this to refine my technique. Would love to see one for freestyle.

Even the best athletes have something to improve upon!

[yaqoubalabdulmuhsen]

Analyze Rebecca Soni
I want her to be analyzed because of her very weird stroke and to this day I still can't believe she holds the world record!

[thitipongtanprasert]

Daiya Seto Butterfly and Anthony Ervin Free. Some relatively short guys.

Every great coach I swam for didn't tell me what I was doing wrong, but how to do it right with mindfulness. Great analysis, Peaty is a beast! Would love to see his dryland routine. Thanks

[Therradican]

Wow. Best analysis ever. What a great camera and computer.

[seanesmillo]

I LOVE THESE ANALYSIS and the way they are set up... please make more of these videos of olympic swimmers, these videos helps a lot of us coaches

[spenn]

I think one of the best parts of his technique is the way he attacks the water with his arms. He really allows his head to fit tight into a nice pocket through his arms and cut through the water which allows him to keep his momentum.

[DaMeniooo]

And that 's what I need to improve my own breststroke! The next one should be Dressel

[MAEternal]

Analysys, breakdowns and explanations are very great stuff!👍

[zms]

Great video as always! As a fellow breastroker, I can really appreciate this. What about some 200m br analysis? Someone like Anton Chupkov or Kirill Prigoda, they both have unique styles(:

[contheboxr]

Thank you for this, I got my 100 breast time from a 1:04 to 1:01

[hsakr]

Definitely there is always room for improvement!
His Tempo is exceptional 👌

[compo]

I've started doing triathlons. I can only breaststroke. I've had some input from experienced swimmers/triathletes. This video is useful. I'm now a faster swimmer open water in a wetsuit than in a pool. I will be applying some of this video to my next training swim. Think it will help

[SimplySammyK]

I love the fact you can appreciate him despite him not being an American athlete ^_^

[adamding]

About the head position during push-off, he keeps the head a little bit low in order to keep the body underwater. Otherwise, he will float up too fast.

Thank you, for the plain, easy to understand, description, with word by word subtitles. Add oil. 😃💯👌👏👍👍👍💪💪💪
