@rakov.swim: There isn’t one perfect freestyle technique. A smooth stroke and a gallop stroke can both be incredibly fast. The best choice depends on the swimmer, the distance, and the conditions.

How to gallop? It’s such a subtle yet difference I have no idea how to implement.

Guys he’s not wearing fins, he’s just going against the current which makes him look faster

Gallop is faster, only if you can hold your kick and get a strong core on pull. If you can’t kick, gallop is done in 100yds.

i haven’t been a competitive swimmer in years but imo smooth, especially since i was a distance swimmer. less resistance = less strength needed, especially when kicking.

It depends. If you are out in open water the gallop is more effective. But if you’re in a poool then smooth
