Freestyle Swimming Smooth and easy (more info in comments) #swimming #shorts

Freestyle rotation is the rotation of your hips, torso and shoulders along the long axis of your body during your freestyle stroke. For a proper and efficient freestyle technique, your hips, torso and shoulders should all rotate together in a single motion during each stroke you take.

* As you rotate along your long axis, your legs will rotate with your hips
* During your rotation, your head stays stationary, pointed forward at a 45 degrees angle unless you take a breath.
* If you are taking a breath, rotate your head along with your body, take a quick breath and rotate your head back with your body.
* Always exhale while your head is underwater to enable you to take breaths quicker.

It is scarce to find swimmers with too much body rotation in freestyle. In most cases, swimmers need to rotate more or have a lousy rotation on one side. But body rotation is essential to a proper freestyle stroke technique. It is considered fundamental to good freestyle swimming. The three main reasons why the freestyle rotation is so important are:

1. Injury prevention and an easier arm recovery

Lying in a flat position in the water and recovering your arms puts stress on your shoulder, especially your rotator cuff muscles.

2. Swim with a longer, more efficient stroke

With great rotation comes excellent reach. As you rotate from side to side, you can further extend your reach and generate more power with every stroke you take. By beginning your catch phase earlier and with an extended arm, you will travel further with every stroke and require fewer strokes per lap.

3. Use your core and back muscles for power

As you rotate from one side to the other while swimming freestyle, you transfer power between your arms and shoulders through your core, back and chest muscles. Because these muscles are considered some of the strongest in the body, especially for swimmers, you can generate more power.

Shoulders should rotate more than hips i think

Greetings from Penang.
I have been trying to swim 2 beat kick for 3 months now but still unsuccessful ☹️. Many thanks for this slow motion video that I observed - I should pull first then kick on the same side right?

I will try again and keep trying.

Terima kasih 😁
