Our most requested video this summer is here as we breakdown the Popovici’s awesome freestyle technique! Which swimmer strokes do you want us to breakdown next?

Hey, so I would be very grateful if you analyzed Milak Kristof 200m fly, and 50m, 100m sprint by Dressel, or even Ledecky at 800m because she can be seen galloping too. Another question, what I've noticed with Popici, it stretches the hand so much forward to increase the length of the draw that it even flexes the body.

I love it when the way I have been swimming for years makes a 'comeback' and becomes trendy. I am no means in anyone's league but, swimming high out of the water with the 'gallop' method is normal for me. Thanks for this excellent video.

I've been looking at Popovici's stoke too. One thing I noticed is he is not pushing water at any time during his stroke, so the water is being forced against his body. I assume, if you feel a wave of water against your body, coming off your hand motion, you are wasting that energy. For me, Popovici is swimming in a way that eliminates this drag. Of course it pays to be as thin as Popovici is too. In the end, I think Popovici's stroke is as novel as what Fosbury did for the high jump. Popovici's torso also undulates up and down almost like he is sneaking in one dolphin kick with each rotation-stroke. It's all very novel, and very dependent upon Popovici's body type.

Pity you didn’t refer to subtleties in his stroke. The wider underwater left arm position is for balance as he breathes to his right. His efficient leg action is also because he has very flexible ankles and displays a great crossover kick with intoeing which generates the propulsion. The soft hand is about feeling still water and his high elbow with longitudinal rotation creates an elliptical pathway for the arm action. His high body position reduces frontal resistance and his rotation body reduces profile resistance
@scottvolkers4496

I see his left arm goes wide because he releases the hips, which then puts the legs out of the vertical plane. I believe this is where he can improve. This is very similar t3chnique to Ian Thorpe and Libby Trickett. The rest of the technique is obviously fantastic. Because he is super fast does not mean it can not be improved. Just a comment.
@tann_man
2 жыл бұрын
Not sure if this is even a problem. The 90 degree profile of the arm in front of the body produces significantly less drag compared to straight arm. It could be that he’s sacrificing a bit of propulsion for a major reduction in drag resulting in greater speed.

Good analysis, my give on this is that he has a unique musculoskeletal system, he is light boned and strong efficient muscle strength and energy metabolism, what makes him fast is his core strength to limb ratio at full extension of the arm as he kicks into the extention of his arrow forward position to his catch, galop freestyle has been around for decades, nothing new there. Also to take into consideration is he is naturally doped with high testosterone and growth hormone production. Wish him a long successful career 🙏

I have yet to see a really good explanation of the gallop style of freestyle. This does come close. Many coaches make a big deal about having both arms in the front quadrant. This doesn't really happen with the gallop style. This is because the arm pull is off beat rather than a steady beat/even rhythm. With gallop style, it is a quick 1, 2, then a slight pause, then repeat. The breathing arm stays extended, then when other arm recovers, there is that quick 1, 2. By the time the other arm recovers, the breathing side arm is past the mid point of the pull. Pretty much all of the men swim with the gallop style. Some of the women like Katie and Summer do, but Ariarne Titmus swims on an even beat. Supposedly the porpoise action that is used with gallop style puts the entire body under water for a bit which reduces over all drag. I guess it adds a little extra drive to help with acceleration. I would also guess that the normal peaks and valleys in acceleration and slow down are slightly less as well, but would need Gary Hall's velocimeter to test that out for sure. I did search swimming styles, and the gallop style seems to go back to Matt Biondi. I did find one video of Mark Spitz, and he did breath every other arm stroke, but he didn't really gallop, or lope as I called it.

The big takeaway from his swim was how hard he kicked and how it didn’t fade. The rest of his stroke is basically the same as so many others. His training sets and focus to maintain this kick was probably the single biggest factor to his accomplishment.

How does no one speaks about totally unusual body position when he breaths? Take a look where are the toes pointing when his head is on the side. Look how curved he is. And why he does he like no other swimmer goes so up to the water when breathes and then after putting his head down he almost immerse all his body in the water? He did what he did because of things that are not much visible. There are things more than that. And what Popovici does that no one do, is that he UNDERSTANDS that everyone should swimm in his own way. Everyone should understand his own biomechanics which are very different to one another. He is smart, he knows that and he practice that. He is close to his body more than everyone and his approach to swimming is different. Those things are what makes the difference to him. Things that are not visible.

Pushing your hand/arm through the water creates resistance so if anything, he's getting further distance per stroke by extending above the water rather than through it

Well done. Good analysis. In the days of Johnny Weissmuller the swimmers had head out swimming. Then in the early 80s we were taught to keep the head down flat in the water turn slightly to breath and for short distances breath as fewer times as possible using half the mouth. Now he has his head almost half out of water launching himself into every strokes. Good luck to him. Very nice chap. Hope he continues to do well.

I would like to see a video of backstroke technique, especially timing, as I learnt almost entirely by instinct despite being in a club, and used to be given drills like catch up from the hip, which seems to be the opposite of front quadrant. Is backstroke meant to be front quadrant(?), when should the catch begin for each arm recovery(?), etc. Go through all the BLABT, but on backstroke (breathing may be not so important, but mention if you breathe in/out at a certain part of the stroke). Legs are interesting on backstroke because I kick to one side then the other because of hip rotation. Arms, timing the entry vs. rotation of the shoulder, how to catch effectively, width of entry, point fingers towards wall or ceiling(?), shape of pull. How does timing change at sprint speeds? Anything else that you think is important.
