Hi,everyone,i am new to this forum...
My name is CherTeck, just learning swimming less than two years.
I started train competitively three months ago. My 50m personal best is 31s.
I have no coach and train myself in school's pool. I do dry land training three times per week ( medicine ball, stretch cord, ab .roller,crunches, sit up) but i don't go gym . I swim 6 times per week and each session last about 1.5 hour. I think i was born as sprinter as i don't like long distance swimming. Currently, i train freestyle only but i will swim IM during warm up.
I always find the best workout for me but still cannot find the best one.
But i think the folllowing mainset are good
1) 4 x100m, 4 x 75m, 4 x 50m, 4 x25m ( build to 80 % on last lap for 25m pool)
2) 25m 50 75 100 150 200 rec 200 150 100 75 50 25 m ( start from 25m then slowly increase the distance, on the way back, increase the speed)
3) 8 x 75m on 1: 15 , 20 x 50 m ( des 1-4 )
4) Sprinting set:4 x ( 20 fast 30 slow, 30 fast 20 slow, 50m recovery, 50 m all out)
5) Speed kick: 2 x ( 1 x 100,2 x 50, 4 x25) fast kick
But i always use up my energy after speed kick and cannot move on to next main set.For sprinting set, i also die in last round. For normal 50m interval swimming, i tend to swim fast and then must rest 1-2 mins . I am eager to bring my time down...i want to know what's wrong in my stroke.Why can't i swim faster despite i try very hard.
Opps, i got a pair of red zoomer and a parachute. I also use them in my swimming training.I am 21 years old and hope that my 50m freestyle will hit 27s by February next year.
Here are some confusion when i do the sprinting:
1) Should we pull all the way back to hips in sprinting ?
2) Should we catch the water like Popov?YouTube - Popov vs Klim 50m Perth 1998
or just pull back without high elbow?
3) i feel that the water is heavy to hug during the catch,is it the good thing because i feel my turnover will slow down by pulling back that heavy water.
4) I saw Cesar Cielo slapping his arms quickly during sprinting but Popov still maintain very nice stroke. Which is better?
I would like to ask how to race 50m freestyle. Will you go all out hard during first 25m? How about the breathing frequency? i would like to try breathing at 20m and 35m in long course or 20,30,40 .Is it ok?:coffee:
hi CherTeck
your 50 fr is 31
no coach you train alone
dry lands 3x per week ( medicine ball, stretch cord, ab .roller,crunches, sit up)
no gym or weights (ADD WEIGHTS!!!)
swim 6x per week for 1.5 hour (you might not need that extra 30 min)
think you're a born sprinter
you are eager to bring your time down
you want to know what's wrong in your stroke
have a friend film you with an IPhone and load the HD Vid on youtube then give us a link
you asked
Why can't i swim faster despite i try very hard.
There's 4 Ways Swimmers Improve
you have red zoomers and a parachute
you're 21 years old
you hope to go 27 in the 50 fr
1) Should you pull all the way back to hips in sprinting ?
YES
2) Should we catch the water like Popov?
YES
3) i feel that the water is heavy to hug during the catch,is it the good thing because i feel my turnover will slow down by pulling back that heavy water.
you want an awesome catch, its good that water feels heavy
4) I saw Cesar Cielo slapping his arms quickly during sprinting but Popov still maintain very nice stroke. Which is better?
both swam very fast, Cesar is a bit faster, figure out what's best for you
Both are excellent kickers
how to race 50m freestyle
Will you go all out hard during first 25m?
go almost all out the whole way
How about the breathing frequency?
most world class male sprinters breath twice in a 50
Once before or in the air as they dive in and
Once after they touch the wall at the end ot their race.
so really 0 during the race.
but if you need a breath during the race consider
1 breath: take it at the far 15 meter mark
2 breaths: 1 at the 25 & 1 with 10 meters to go
When you Breathe
BREATHE IN AS MUCH AIR AS YOU POSSIBLY CAN AND HOLD IT, you want your lungs to be FULL
if you really want to get faster and you're ONLY FOCUSED ON THE 50
DO SHORT FAST STUFF ON PRACTICE WITH LOTS OF REST
mostly fast 15's, 25's & an few fast 50s
swimming freestyle and kicking flutter and SDK
don't get broken down from your swimming training
DO some 50's where you cruise the first 25 or 35 then sprint the last 25 or 15.
GET SUPER STRONG
RACE in a SPEEDY JAMMER
Do: Help my Speed is Horrible
& Help My Flutter Kick is Horrible!
Read & apply a few ideas from Swim Faster Faster
for sprinters, a good SFF Tip that combines many tips is Build a Fortress of Speed & Strength
only train in the The Sprint Free Lane,
The SDK Lane, & the The Taper Lane
