Two things are essential when doing the crawl: Firstly, you need a good position in the water to minimise water resistance, and secondly, you should understand how to generate propulsion in the water. In the video, I explain to you how to generate as much propulsive surface area as possible and how you can move forward efficiently. The focus is primarily on the arm stroke underwater.

In the video: Sports scientist and triathlon coach Jörg Birkel Triathlon is his passion. Jörg Birkel has lived in Mallorca since 2013, organizes triathlon camps around the world, and offers coaching. Before moving to the island, the Rhinelander studied at the German Sport University in Cologne. After graduating with a degree in sports science, he taught there from 2003 to 2009. For over 15 years, "Jorge" worked as a sports journalist for various specialist magazines and wrote articles for Triathlon Magazine, FHM, Men's Fitness, ilovecycling.de and netzathleten.de, among others. He has also written various specialist books on running and triathlon. His time as a journalist was very important for his development. Writing about things you love also means that you never stop learning. In the hunt for new topics and exciting stories, he researched daily, dug up studies and scoured press releases. Accordingly, Jorge was able to further expand on the knowledge he gained from his studies and is now more familiar than ever with current developments in endurance sports.
