Katie Ledecky Freestyle Stroke Analysis!

I have no idea with swimming competitions, but doing long distance training, we really don't use kick. It's like her as well, more on arms. It's because the kick makes you tired more quickly, taking more muscle oxygen, and more effort. When in long distance, and you're doing 5-10KM, the kick will be so tiring. So we just use arms. And it's true! If you look down, as in look straight down and not just tilted, you become faster. Long distance also teaches to extend your arms as much as you can, really stretch your body to its thinnest mode. I'm glad a swimmer like this has this technique, it's pretty cool and actually makes sense for long distance.

Katie only use 1 beat kick in the mid of the race .. this is outrageous style. .. her streamline and bouyancy are so perfect... I think she has put so much effort on her core balance.

Ledecky is probably watching these YouTubers and analyzing who is getting it right. She should start a YouTube channel for that. Could be all time hit

She is amazing! Can't wait to watch her at the World Championships in June!

I've always been a poor freestyler, compared to the other strokes, and today I had a great swimmer look at it underwater. He said 1. my hips were low and my head is a bit high like I'm swimming uphill and 2. I'm using arm strength instead of relying on hip rotation to generate power. I always thought I just needed to get stronger at pulling but I'm excited by the idea of using less arm power and more rotational drive. Hopefully that will make it easier to generate speed with less fatigue if I can make the changes.

"Leg's are for Dragging" - said every successful middle and distance swimmer ever.

Best app I have ever had, bar none! And your support is amazing, plus you listen to suggestions. Thanks!

Was just looking for this! Thank you!

That was a ONE beat kick. She employs 1,2 and 4 on her longer events. A great skill to master.

Wow this is great thank you 😊

Great explanation

Thank you!

Great video! What app are you using to make all those annotations in the video? thanks!

Yay another video how don’t you have 1 million subs and can you please do analysis of Lilly kings breaststroke

Liu Zige's butterfly please and I would like to have your opinion about her 200 butterfly WR which I think is very hard to break and it will stand for a long time. Thank you!

Buenísimo, muchas gracias por compartir su trabajo.

素晴らしい体幹と、キックの強さ、キャッチからプッシュの前腕の力強さに圧倒されます🎉 大好きです✨

10:01 This is the smoothest front crawl I have ever seen. no splash! WOW! Thanks for the analyses, Fares.

Analyze Romanchuk - especially his hand entry and the beginning of his catch ... it's super weird. (Saw it in the underwater shots of the Tokyo 1500 final.)

Thanks
