It is likely that you will hurt your shoulder swimming fast if you don't know the two golden rules of freestyle swimming. Moving your arms fast doesn't mean you are swimming fast. If we look underwater in slow motion we can see that the swimmer who is moving his arms fast is not pulling well. In fact, our shoulders hurt immediately from swimming badly. The swimmer who pulls well follows the two golden rules of freestyle. This makes him use bigger muscles, swim faster and protect his shoulders from injury. The first rule is: 1- Scapular upward rotation while the shoulder internally rotates. I'll explain. Weve explained this in past videos, but here's another explanation along with exercises to create muscle memory. To swim correctly we want to reach this position. Commonly called high elbow catch. Seen from the side, the elbow is above the line that connects the shoulder to the hand

I started out as the guy just tossing the arms in front of myself like I'm a wodden board with treadmill arms swinging around for more than 1-2 years.
After that I watched your videos, esp the 1: 05? min one. I started thinking about swimming so much I even stared dreaming about it where I did include the stretching out my finger to the wall and strechting my body like a spaghetti.
After a few weeks i was down from 1: 35-1: 40 to sub 1: 30 swimming for 100m quite easy with felt less effort in throwing my arms around myself. Quite cool, even swam a triathlon in the lake with 1: 34 pace, which is the fastest I've ever swam.
Fast forward after corona and not exercising as much, I'm now back to swimming and experience pain in my shoulders which I've never had before. Not even when i stared out as a wodden board.
I guess this has now to do with streching out to much and not having the muscles supporting this movement. So now I'll try to include the movements from the video. Hope this gets me back to where I ended and not having to go the wodden board way which took quite a long time. Or maybe still doing this just to build up some mucles. Idk yet which path I'll follow despite knowing which should be followed.

0: 13 I dont get why many of these technique showcase videos always portray a good or erfortless technique to be like this, with both arms stopping the rotation at the pull and kind of waiting for the other arm to finish the rotation, and that 1 stroke 1 kick cycle, in my view this is pretty effortless but realistically it is too slow to be in an actual race compared to a smooth constant stroke and kick cycle

Raul, I still go back to your video about 4 ways to swim freestyle. I keep thinking about the windmill style which all the men use in the 50 meter sprint. Women don't use it as much as the men do. Anyway, I am thinking that they tend to use less body rotation in that event, and less extension of their arms. Kind of a 'you just don't have time to do that' situation. Comments?

I would love to see a video from you for a 30-45 min HIIT swimming training. With tips for how to do it to avoid injuries. Recommended combination of swimming styles for warm up and the high and low intensity phases. Also considering the alternation of pressure on muscle groups to avoid exhaustion of certain muscle groups. Thanks. I am sure it will get a lot of views: )

I do strength training daily in gym in the evening times and morning i do swimming. But due to gym workout my body becomes stiff and tight and in the morning it's almost difficult to afloat in the water. Please share some tips for me to do better swimming routines for gym rats like me. Thank you.

Awesome! Thank you for explaining so well the proper arm movement to pull the water effectively. I am getting closer to a proper movement. I will try it on land with a stretch band to see if I can improve my arm movement. Thanks for your recommendations, very helpful.

My mom got me to the sea at 4 years old. I was afraid of going in it, but when i finally went in the water, i didnt want to go back home and i just wanted to stay in the sea. I want to say that i think that what matters the most is the first time you meet the water

Could you give 4x200m (2021) relay a watch
In womens event 2nd swimmer from the Australia team has a deeper catch for 200m freestyle
And in mens 4x200m event the last swimmer from Britain has a deep catch instead of an high elbow
Thoughts?

Best instruction ever! Extremely versatile! You might want to variate your chest exstension with hands on the wall exercise with using the ellbows (in a slightly closer angle. A beautiful stretch of the trapezius and the rib cage is the result.

I will show this video to every begginer swimmer. It's a must see. Comprehensive knowledge in a short practical video with animations and proper dry land techniques.

This is true, I was doing a set today with fins and I found that I could faster if I stopped spinning my arms and had a longer more powerful stroke.
reply

I rotate, high catch and glide almost by natural posture. I've been getting faster with what seems like less effort and less arm and leg movement.

This is really important if you want to learn effective crawl, great tips, conti to share more tips more power.
