It should be noted that these standings only have an historical aim but no sport signification because the comparison between the achievements of swimmers of different generations is always unfair for several reasons: 1. The period of time. The Olympic Games were not organised in 1916, 1940 and 1944 2. The evolution of the programme.

  • There Are Many Variations in Swimming Technique Not Just Between Swimmers but Your Individual Stroke Will Vary from Sprints to Distance and from Pool to Open Water
    STROKE VARIATION BY PATRICK DEVINE In 2008, I wrote an article with the same title. Following the Olympics is an appropriate time to edit the topic with updated observations. There are many variations in swimming technique not just between swimmers but your individual stroke will vary from sprints to distance and from pool to open water. Freestyle will be the focus. There are 5 Olympic distances. With the form strokes only two distances in each discipline, exist at Olympic competition but variation is pronounced particularly to suit individual body types. There are some wonderful videos on YouTube of some of the very best swimmers. This time it was difficult to locate recent video of some major swimmers. There has been an explosion of less useful footage. The earlier article featured Phelps, Eamon Sullivan, Grant Hackett, and Libby Trickett etc. Now the roll call is evolving. James Magnussen, Alicia Coutts, Cate Campbell, Corey Jones, Nathan Adrian, Yannick Agnel, Alison Schmitt and Sun Yang are swimmers of today who feature in underwater footage of major races. Analysing some of their strokes is beneficial to our swimming and please search for the others. There is significant variation of stroke for different distances. Michael Phelps remains master of his particular style of swimming with great underwater work following the dive and turn, substantial hip rotation, asymmetrical catch up with a long glide on the left hand while breathing on the right side. His body is almost “totally immersed” by contrast to the 50 metre sprinters. His stroke has an incredible efficiency but requires the application of great strength for each stroke.
