Keep your arse on top of the water

I'm pretty sure all flailing retards stop swimming by simply not moving anymore.

>implying lededcky's WR is anything special

She's broken the WR 5 times in the last 4 years iirc, the last time before the olympics that she broke it was in January this year.


As for legitimate advice, pay for a couple of 1 to 1 lessons. It's no different from having a PT or even just a friend at the gym helping you with your form.

>Tighten your whole body, specially your core
>The legs is extremely important, you need at least 6 kicks per arm cycle. Bend the knees a little, but keep the legs up. Don't splash too much water.
>Don't move the front arm until the rowing arm goes all the way back
>Breath on the same side every cycle.

Also front crawl is the only way to go.

Back crawl is stupid. Butterfly is a meme but gives you a killer back. Breaststroke is for the eldery and terminally ill.

>bend knees a little

Wrong. Straight legs, only your feet should be coming out of the water.

>breath on the same side every cycle

You should be breathing every third stroke, so changing sides each time.

The level of womens sports.. the inconsistency just tells it all. In mens theyre always pretty close because they all train hard. In womens theres 1 or 2 great ones and the rest are just fodder that dont deserve to be there

It's ok you'll get bored in week once your interested in the sport due to the Olympics has died down and you realise it actually requires effort
