11 Time Olympic Medalist, Ryan Lochte Reveals His Unique Freestyle Technique

in #videos8 years ago

FYI, doing the fly kick underwater for starts and turns was introduced in 1988 and was called the "Berkoff Blastoff"

It's all in the technique....

A description would be good...

When a swimmer does a flip turn during freestyle, he ends up on his back. Normally, when a smimmer comes out of the turn, he immediately rolls over on his stomach and dolphin kicks underwater and then surfaces. Instead, Lochte stays on his back and dolphin kicks, and then turns over as he gets to the surface.
