Swimnews magazine for Oct-Nov contains some awesome artricles as is expected.Most of you will know the swimnews.com website which has daily news updates and world ranking lists. The magazine is published by the same owner, Nick Thierry. Nick has given me permission to copy these extracts and distribute them to you.
One article is an analysis of Michael Phelps’ freestyle technique by Cecil Colwin (‘Swimming Into The 21st Century’) and the other is a thought-provoking look into the future of breaststroke technique by Josef Nagy, coach to Mike Barrowman, inventor of the ‘wave’ breaststroke and the accepted world’s expert on modern breaststroke.
The Phelps article is an eye-opener in terms of what he actually does as opposed to what you think he does. Nagy offers a proposition for much higher stroke rates on breaststroke and gets there by significantly restricting the kick pathway.
Swimnews is available bi-monthly at US$45 per year – order it here.
