So if you are a swimmer, be it a sprinter, marathoner, triathlete, pool or open water swimmer, we all have one thing in common… the search for the perfect stroke.
Like a golfer searching for the perfect swing, it’s a pretty elusive and debatable thing. But there is a website out of Perth, Australia that has become quite well reknown for their instructional videos on swim strokes. If you go to their website they even have a great annimation of the perfect stroke! (http://swimsmooth.com/)
But now they’ve gone one step better than that… they’ve tracked down Jono Van Hazel… who has probably the “perfect” stroke! And they’ve captured it in the video below.
If you’ve ever wondered if you were supposed to enter the water finger tips first or thumb first? How wide your pull should be? What your head position and breathing should look like? The shape of the pull? The depth and speed of the kick? It’s all there!
You know the only thing better than looking at this video, is getting someone to video you… and then compare it to this one… you’d be surprised!
A big thanks to SwimSmooth.com, they are a great website out of Perth, Australia and have tons of videos and tips and reviews on all kinds of things… one of the best swim sites out there! Have a look: http://swimsmooth.com/
PS. I put it in the “videos” tab too… so you can find it later… in case it doesn’t all sink in on your first viewing!
Cheers,
Rob
