Can we swim as fast as Adam Peaty? (World Record Speed)

this is my brother swimming and that red line is the world record that world record belongs to adam p that line represents his average speed for the 100 meter breaststroke war record that time is so fast that he hasn't even been able to break it for 2 years let's see how my brother swimming breaststroke compares to pity speed my brother is faster than me in breaststroke but we can't do a single 25 at the average speed of pt's world record today i'll look at petey's breaststroke technique and see if i can beat my brother's time i learned to swim breaststroke in 1997 when the world record was held by frederick deningrad the belgian swim without goggles and still went 100.60 back then people swam with a wider arm stroke and kick 16 years and 13 world records later adam pitty arrived the model breaststroke technique had already changed with swimmers like kozuge kitajima brennan hayson and rebecca sony now the brushstroke technique is much narrower let's see if i can reach the red line swimming backstroke adam pd was the first to drop below 58 seconds he was perfecting his technique little by little he got stronger determined to make history he kept breaking the world record one two three times more on july 25th of 2019 he did the unthinkable by then no one else had been able to crack the 58 second barrier pe broke the 57 second barrier with a time of 56.88 you know what i think that at least swimming freestyle i can catch the red line [Music] pity uses four movements that look simple to imitate arm pull recovery [Music] knee bend at the same time as step 2 and knee extension armpool it looks simple but if you try to analyze it you will see that what he does doesn't make intuitive sense he is pulling water out and down do you remember in butterfly that i told you that by opening your arms it helps you raise your head pd stroke is exactly the same he uses it to raise his head and pull his body forward the vectors cancel each other's lateral movement and propel the body forward and up the neck is out before he bends his elbows the pull ends by bending the elbows and bringing them to the chest in all this movement the legs do not move two and three recovery and knee bend the knees flexion lasts exactly what the arm recovery lasts in other words the amount of time it takes the arms to go from here to here is the same the feet take from here to here the knee flexion is fast the knees do not spread more than the width of the shoulders the feet almost touch the glutes knee extension the knees are extended the ankles open and travel downward and toward the center two extra things to notice the hips stay very close to the surface even the glutes rise above the surface when the legs push them up the chest rises out of the surface of the water the speed of the open turn is crucial most people touch the edge of the pool this causes the swimmer to go up wasting time while breathing this seems easy to correct but if you're used to always touching the edge it's not an easy habit to correct the most efficient way is to touch the wall with both hands under the water bring your hand close to your face as if you were answering the phone and the other arm goes down starting with the elbow the knees go to the chest as fast as possible with all of the above in mind i modified my technique the biggest change i made was opening my hands when starting to pull that little detail changed the speed and the direction of my body and changed my whole technique the second major change was bringing my knees to my chest faster than before during the turn obviously i didn't swim like adam pity but in just two days i managed to beat my brother's time in the final of the 100 brushstroke in tokyo nmp finally had a rival that swam under the 58 second barrier but not even arnold caminga could catch adam p after finishing this video my brother wanted a rematch and this is what happened [Music] if you want to see another video of adam petey's technique with physics concepts click here and if you want to visit our swimming store click here see you there swim fast
