Aug 20, 2008 - time is more important but when you are talking about anything over 500m strokes count to because the less strokes that you take per lap results in less energy applied per lap.

Aug 20, 2008 - try to stretch more....you gotta be smooth and flexiblw in the water......anyhow...let's be serious it's all about whether you got it or not....if you can't ..don't try pushing it...there are other kinds of sports that you can succeed in...

Swimming all out with fins also takes away all the pauses in your stroke and makes you create momentum by always moving your arms. Paddles tells you how to catch but be careful with using them!Don´t pause legkick in freestyle while breating! Breathe with a small motion!Look at your strokes recorded by videocamera and compare to the big athletes or post on youtube so we can "fix" them :)That´s my tipses

Aug 20, 2008 - even this is too complicated for me . . . I think I'd better get a teacher . . . Can someone just explain what the hand is doing - is it cupping or going in some "slice" thing?

L92DOutKst Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - maybe both slice when you put your arm up and back in the waterwhen its in the water hes using cupslicing into the water in the water cuppingi can swim sloppy i need help on floating like when stand up in the water but floating

Aug 20, 2008 - swimming is tiring

anohbey Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - your hand acts like a paddle actually. but as you hit your hand with the water, you slice the water with your hand.

Aug 20, 2008 - is he doing finger tip drag?

rednech23 Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - I suppose you can then? Not.

vonder7 Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - Is this an underwater musturbation?

antokindness Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - E' perfetto! Un ottimo movimento a cui pensare mentre si nuota, Vale!

jacekjk Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - Put your hand outside of the car window and check resistance with your fingers together and slightly apart. Do you really think that one of the greatest sprinters (and actually all other top swimmers) would do such a silly mistake?

waterbaby405 Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - Let's agree to disagree...my point is that all water-based mammals and fish don't have holes in their fins...there's something to be said for that.
