History of the Freestyle Stroke
The freestyle swimming stroke was thought to have originated in Australia which is partially true. The stroke used to be called the “Australian Crawl” because competitive swimmers from Australia were winning events with this stroke. It is said the freestyle was originally from the pacific islands possibly the Solomon’s
There is a story which is probably true about a boy from the Solomon Islands who went to work in Australia in the 1800’s. He used to swim in one of the local pools using this stroke and someone pointed out that it looked like he was crawling. A swim coach took the basics of this stroke and refined it to what is the freestyle of today. The Australians were winning races with this stroke and the world took notice.
The first modern Olympic Games in 1896 had only four swimming events, three of them were freestyle. Two of these events were the 100 meters and 1500 meters freestyle races that were held in the open water. In 1922, Johnny Weissmuller was the first person to break the one minute mark in the 100 meter freestyle swimming it in 51 seconds, it was called the Australian crawl back then.
He held this record for over 17 years. He also won five Olympic medals and 36 national championships and never lost a race in his career of ten years. He later went on to play Tarzan in a series of movies, always shown swimming in a small body of water or fighting an alligator underwater.
Is there a time limit to the 50 meter freestyle swimming event in the olympics?
curious to know what it is and if there is one and say for example Kristin Otto got 25.49 is that in minutes or seconds.for a journalistic project!
Swimming Freestyle – The Fastest Way to Perfect Swimming Technique
For years most of us are taught that to swim faster we must train harder and train more often. In reality, the best swimmers in the world work on the correct technique more than anything else. Swimming is not about thrashing out lap after lap in the pool. Swimming fast is about reducing drag. That’s where the most improvement will be found.
Here are a few tips to help you swim freestyle like a champion:
Train to perfect technique, not to get fit: Everyone must start out by first getting technique right, and then progressing on to improving fitness. By not focusing on the right freestyle technique at the start, you’re training won’t help you swim faster.
Find a coach or mentor: One of the unwritten rules of swimming is that ‘whatever it feels like you’re doing in the water, you’re probably doing the exact opposite’. The quickest way to get better at swimming is to have a qualified person give you feedback on your technique. You can either find a coach in your local area or find a coach online. There are many coaches who allow you send a video of yourself over the internet and they will email you back with advice.
Educate yourself: Just as though you would attend college to become a doctor, you must study swimming to become good at it. It is much cheaper than a college education though! Read the books, watch the DVD’s and buy the programs which will show you the correct technique and how to achieve it.
Never quit: Swimming fast takes time. It won’t happen in a day, a week or even a month. Persist with your swimming and be consistent with your practice. Don’t train for 3 days in a row and then take a week off and expect for results to show. You must be consistent and focus always getting better through practicing the right technique
