The Fastest Swim Technique - Backstroke Dolphin Kick
Catch exclusive videos with Maggie MacNeil with our FREE 30 day subscription on our website:
theraceclub.com
Most swimmers have a faster backstroke dolphin kick than butterfly. Maggie MacNeil's best stroke is butterfly however her dolphin kick is so fast that she is the 50 Short Course Meters Backstroke world record holder. The question is what makes Maggie's backstroke dolphin kick so fast? In this video we analyze Maggie's dolphin kick using our Velocity Meter technology and compare with Olympian Mikita Tsmyh. Coach Gary Hall Sr explores the scientific explanation why dolphin kick on your back is typically faster than your stomach.

    As a kid in the 80s, Disney's Little Mermaid had just come out, and all my friends and I spent all summer at a friend's pool trying to swim like Ariel! This lady has mastered the mermaid swim! It's also amazing to me, as someone who hasn't been in the swimming world since the early 2000s, how much we are able to learn through underwater video. Back when I was swimming laps for fitness, I remember ordering books on swimming technique from early-days Amazon. If I was lucky, there would be a diagram or illustration. Most of the time, I was trying to envision what the text was describing, and then trying to remember that during my next swim to try to integrate it into my technique. I can learn so much more from a few minutes of video than I could from hours of reading. It's really amazing to me how far swimming has come!

    thank you sir. just yesterday my 8 year old son had his swim meet and won 50 breast stroke trial but in 50 fly despite of having a clear lead he finished second towards the end. post race we sat near to a smaller pool near by and discussed the same with him that why his arms were delayed under water and asked him to use this same technique and he felt easy on his arms. sir correct me if im wrong in free and fly I suppose both have almost similar arm cycle , only diff is in fly we use both hands at the same time which is not the case in free, so your explanation would also be applicable in fly pull, isnt it??? last but not the least thank you again for this explanantion , now I am going to show this to my son. and he calls you gary sir by the way :) would appreceiate your reply.

    • @theraceclub
      @theraceclub 19 днів тому

      Virtually all elite butterflyers use a straight arm recovery, because there is more kinetic energy in the arm entry and better coupling with the second down kick. Try using the left/right/front drill to learn how to recover with the straight arms. You can find that instructional video on our website as a Lane 3 member. www.theraceclub.com.

  • @mark-kf3md
    @mark-kf3md 25 днів тому

    Thanks for this great information. It's interesting and very useful. The variable that would be difficult to account for is how to maintain the optimal Dolphin Kick Technique while being full relaxed, tension free and use as little energy as possible. If the best technique dictated by the data requires a movement that requires a level of muscled tension beyond relaxed flexibility it will use too much energy resulting in an energy deficit experienced after surfacing. This energy deficit will result in an overall slower time even if the underwater is faster. I suppose the objective would then be to gain the flexibility and technique required over time until it can be done in a fully relaxed state. Pretty much the same as optimizing any change in swimming technique. The difficulty might be that some people simply do not have the ankle flexibility. Genetics plays it's hand. Relaxed flexibility is Key.

    When you instruct swimmers in this drill, what is the main point of emphasis that you like to focus on in terms of how this drill relates to swimming butterfly? Is the emphasis on reducing the delay before initiating the pull? Or something different?

    • @theraceclub
      @theraceclub Місяць тому

      We like to use this L/R/FRONT drill for several different techniques: 1. Getting a low-profile breath with full extension of the neck 2. Vertical or ascending arm recovery (depending on shoulder flexibility) 3. Correct hand entry and pulling motion and 4. Tucking the chin down (but not the chest too much). Gary

      Yes...but there are stretches for the hip and ankle that can definitely improve kick propulsion. Gary

  • @stephenwales85
    @stephenwales85 Місяць тому

    Is there a tipping point between streamlining and power when, swimming without the finis strap, the knees are too close together? Or is it always preferable in theory to keep the knees as narrow as possible?

    • @theraceclub
      @theraceclub Місяць тому

      I used to think the narrower, the better. If swimmers don't have good internal rotation flexibility of the hip nor good pronation of the ankle, they have to go wider with the knees to get any meaningful propulsion. Let the knees go where they need to to get propulsion. Gary

      @theraceclub Місяць тому

      Hi Luke. It is kind of like the 1500 m where you see all three types of freestyle being used. Depends a lot on the kick speed and height of the swimmer. It is very hard to sustain a higher stroke rate for that distance....but some do (86-90 SR). If the kick is stronger and the swimmer is taller, usually a hip driven technique will work best.
