as a freediver, and i read many scientific papers about the physics of swimming, underwater swimming is way more efficient than surface one, bc surface waves rob energy from you, while underwater you only have to deal with hydrodynamic drag, while on surface you have surface wave drag
i noticed your glide phase is very short, i think to get fast you need to train reducing strokes 1st before going fast
most people waste energy by doing unnecessary movements and learn bad technic to go fast
learn good proper technic by swimming slow, reduce stroke numbers, then return to swim fast and you will notice the progress
i started as a very slow surface swimmer and my breast stroke sucked
and yeah, narrow arm stroke is vital to swim fast, the more power you can put in your arms during the hand stroke the more powerful the acceleration, the closer by hands get when i sweep under me, the more explosive my speed get
when i practiced underwater swimming and reducing number of strokes for my anaerobic regime, after it, i had some bouts with some purely surface swimmers, and i destroyed them completely
the recovery phase is slow and brake you completly, so reduce the number of recovery you do on one lap
less recover, means more distance per leg stroke
i also trained to swim underwater on leg stroke alone, and helped me reduce number of leg strokes i needed

I am new to swimming since last Aug. i was using similar arm movements in breaststroke, theorizing a wider arm swim out would help my head raising above water. I have since narrowed my arm movement this year because head clearing is not difficult anymore (I have decent lower back flexibility.

Breast stroke! an amazing stroke! I am constantly working on that stroke trying to improve my speed. I have more propulsion with my arms then my legs in that stroke as such I will try to pull outward at the start of the movement and see what happen. Thanks!

I'm a 51 yr old X competitive swimmer, I'd of laughed back then (83) if you'd of said someone would go under a minute.
Thankyou for bringing this to all the adults and kids out there.
Yep I'm from

Thank you for your effort, what I notice that the champion keeps his body, legs and hands, as close as possible, not wide, with narrow movements he breaks the record!

When I was swimming
Steve Lundquist held 100
Victor Davies 200. Personally I was IM swimmer.
How different you n your brother swim breaststroke. Thanks from

lets not forget about his physique. the guy is like 6'4 and has size 12 shoe size that act like flippers. these features give him an innate advantage.

You won by far. He took three strokes more than you did to finish the race. I would follow your style. I know to do what your brother did is not sustainable.

great video. love the analysis of breast stroke technique and the animation. Great job applying real life examples too.

Damn, didnt know that about the recovery, and i have 9 years as a breaststroker and a swimmer, thanks man
