How to gain speed in the crawl stroke? This is a question many swimmers ask. In this video, I will give you 3 important tips on how to swim faster. To start, you need to work on a good start from the edge, whether coming from the block or from below. The start technique allows the swimmer to generate speed from the beginning of their stroke. Even for an experienced swimmer, or for beginners in swimming, it is recommended to always make a good undulation when starting, and then a strong crawl kick, so that when the body is close to the surface, the first stroke is efficient. Many people, in an attempt to speed up the crawl stroke, end up making a common mistake, which is to speed up the stroke rhythm without being efficient. The ideal is for the swimmer to always be able to go as far as possible with each movement and maintain this performance when speeding up their strokes. When we breathe, we change the position of the head, which ends up generating more drag, which can slow down the stroke rhythm. Therefore, when you want to swim faster, the ideal is to breathe less. To train speed in swimming, I have always liked to work on progressive swimming, which consists of starting the course with a more measured rhythm and more fitted stroke, and gradually accelerating the movements, while maintaining efficiency. Another way to work is with short sprints. At the beginning of speed work, it is always recommended to work on short distances, and gradually increase the length of the sprint. Remember that these tips are valid for the crawl, backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly stroke. Want to know more about Nixie?
