Another thing I found that really helps with your streamline is if you go to a rec center that has limited lanes and you have to share a lane with someone. It forces you to streamline your body so you're not hitting each other in the lane.

Ok now I think I’ve confirmed that my coach watches these videos to make our sets

Thanks Ferris! I'm a 59 US Masters 🏊 from Mission Viejo.. I really live in Downey. I 🏊 with the club a couple of times a week.. But I swim 6 times a week.. At South Gate Park Pool and Belvedre Park East Los Angeles...Where I am the oldest LA County Pool Lifeguard Recruit right now. You're videos are outstanding! The techniques I have gleaned and implementation into my 🏊 have allowed me to get back into distance 🏊. In just 2 months.. I've been able to drop a minute off my 500 to just under 7:00 and I completed and won the 1000 im my age group on 4/9 my 59th 🎂 at the Arizona Zone Championship meet at Oro Valley. I was the only man my age to swim the 500 and 1000 both days..So I came home with my gold medals.. I didn't DQ!😎 Thank You from the bottom of my ❤. You have kept me motivated and educated and helped me become a MV Natadores and now a LA County Pool Lifeguard. Next year/season, my Masters Coach is going to allow me to compete on his JC Squad at Saddleback College in Mission Viejo!..You have played a big part in my 37 year come back from being a 15 year old swimming AAU ELAAC under Ron Ballatore to now being a MVN and a defender of life in my community.
God Speed You Through The Water Coach Ferris!

By far, the most common problem with getting a perfect stream line is a slight arch in the back. All of the swimmers here do this. Not sure if that was you, male in blue trunks, but that was probably the best example of an arched back. Best advice I ever heard was from a Speedo Coach who said, 'suck in your gut like you are trying to put your belly button on your spine'. Most have to go to a slight pike/dish in the opposite direction. Getting that arrow/torpedo shape is the key. Banana doesn't go as far...

I've been working on this, I'm finally getting the hang of it

I just tried it in the pool! Amazing the increase in the distance I get in the push off if I take the time to have my arms fully extended before pushing from the wall. The water feel different at push off. I will start doing it every time. I reach beyond the flag before having to give any butter fly kick. Pretty cool! Thank you! 👍👍👍

Nice! Swimming underwater is a lot more fun than above water :)

I must acknowledge that, if only one thing I can say: it was Streamline technique that transformed my level to kind of quasi-pro (hope I am not too cheeky:)

[rosaquinn]

❤️❤️❤️ I just learned how to swim I absolutely love it it is so fun to swim

[andrewthomas]

I’m tight through my thoracic spine.
So a challenge for me.

What if you are not faster underwater than you are breaking out earlier and getting into your stroke? Like Ledecky who breaks out much sooner?

[stluciestrength]

How deep should you be when pushing off the wall & when should you start stroking?Thanks.

Somehow, in my country, the word "streamline" has replaced the "underwater dolphin kick". And its meaning as the body position that minimizes drag is not recognized.

[ingom]

Great, have yo work on my dolphin kick here, thank you..

How do i get faster in 50 and 100 free
My 50 free is 27-28 seconds
My 100 free is 1:05-1:06
I barley kick but i want to go fast for my last year of highschool
Also do doing push ups to build muscle make you faster

What do you guys think about overlapping hands when doing flip turns, does it "feel" better or is "it" better to rotate in the direction according to the overlapping hand, so right hand underneath the left hand when rotating right (frontal area facing up), or left hand underneath right when rotating right for example.

[heatherlastname]

wait... water is 800x more dense than air??

I’m a decent swimmer I go 54.2 and 51.2 in the 100lcm fly and free respectively. I’m certain as of right now I’m faster on the surface. For now…

What should I do if I have hyper flexibility and double jointed through out my whole body
