Can U Swim? 🏊‍♂️ 🏊‍♀️

[Lchlch]

knowing swimming is a life skill

Yes once you know, forever you know.
Same like ride bicycle.

 

[coern]

learnt as a child regularly until end of primary school.

in my teens, 20s and 30s hardly swim...

only late 30s start to swim again because kids were learning - and had to practically re-learn most of the strokes LOL

Can u swim?

Did you self learn or went classes?

How frequently u swim?

The wrong ones are plenty.

i see him breathing everything 2 strokes.

Huh... The video he is 1 breath in every stroke..

Or your 2 strokes is mean 1 left + 1 right crawl..

@Kavairs
On freestyle (front crawl) to be accurate
Depending on your stamina/endurance, proficiency and lung capacity (which can be trained to increase), your change in breath can either be 1 stroke (set of 1 left + 1 right) or 2 strokes.

Besides that, the rotation of your head should be smooth, not sudden, to avoid twisting and strain of neck muscles. The rotation of head should also sychronise with the pull and throw of the arm (turn head to the side to breath during the pull, then turn back into the water during the throw)

It's not called freestyle. It's called front crawl. Crawl just happens to be the fastest stroke hence pp use it in the freestyle category.

signed up at CC & took lesson during primary school, once a week on Sat

swim weekly during Sec school as ECA, mostly once a week except when need to prep & took SLSS's tests, can be up to 3 times a week.

After O level only swim once in a while & during NS

But the waters are dirty, from sentosa to public swimming pool. Someday I will have a big house with my own swimming pool.

50 metre sprint leh...

i try to copy this technique, end up twisting my neck.

for most of us we do for cardio, 1,000 metres 25 mins, cannot breathe like this or have such high stroke rate la...

 

[coern]

you never chiong like Adam Peaty, that's why.



you do his stroke rate, confirm punctured in 50 metres.

frog style.. can swim quite well.. in fact i go swim 3-4 times every week. 30 mins = 20 laps = 1km

I find swimming frog style even if i chiong all the way not tired one.. I think I can swim for one whole day
also can frog style

free style swim 1 lap liao tired like mad
