The Fastest (Legitimate) Ironman Swim...I've EVER Seen

Hey dude,
Just wanted to say that thanks to you I have completed Black lake XTRI triathlon. Thank you.
Milos Lazarevic

He swims like me, I'm just a lot slower.

In my cmpetitive swimming phase very long time ago, he already was so much faster than anybody else of his age. Quite a talented competitive swimmer.

He looks strong. Hope I can pull this off in Augusta in 2 weeks. /

Note the arm entry vs the other fast swimmers. His are nearly splashless, with quiet hands leading the way after a relaxed, bent-elbow arm recovery. Many of the others are windmilling their straight arms and making a much larger splash with each arm entry. Gotta believe his preserves more energy and allows for a consistent pace from start to finish. Really impressive.

Thanks ❤loved the video

Full race please

Polish power

PHDs are great. I use them all the time.❤❤

this guy is built different...period.

Why He do not emberge head fully

Fake

Great analysis

I consistently swim this exact time to the very second... in 70.3 events 😱

He’s also wearing a wet suit

Swimming with class

there was a strong current that day, i watched that performance live

I'm sorry but Lionel Sanders swims better

this is the most esthetically pleasing swimming i have ever seen in my life.
@effortlessswimming thank you from Danube river, Novi Sad, Serbia.

Hi there, wonder why the water is calm but after a few breath he jumped his head high out of the water?

i do not understand why would anyone want to swim in the lake.. yuck!

GET RID OF THE AWFUL MUSIC!

thanks for these videos , all of these tips helps

There has been a bunch of sub-40 min Ironman swims, this is def not the quickest. Put this bloke in a bit of chop and see how he goes then.

Those water Conditions are dreamy

If I’m hearing you correctly, as a pudgy 45 year old with a full time job, average height, tiny hands, and minimal swimming experience, it’s unlikely I’ll come very close to swimming as fast as he did.

Thanks for making this video

how do u get this high pull rate? if i can trust my watch im between 55-60 pulls/min. im by far no pro, but id say im pretty okish for an amateur in speed. whenever i rise the pullrate, im heartrate skyrockets and i cannot hold it.

Fantastic video thank you, the next would be what exercises can I do in order to practice all these elements you broke down - that would be nice to learn from you!

his style reminds me of thorpe swimming

He could be even quicker, but he wont. As an triathlete and former Swimmer, he is ok quick, but could be quicker as mentioned.
Anyone want to get quick as Lucasz ? Or quicker? It takes some abilities for sure, but with VITS never seen things happens in developing.. Contact me

What’s the distance?

and steroids and some drugs to keep the heart in place and yeah

In my opinion, what separates good coaches from very good coaches is the ability to communicate (often complex) ideas in a clear and simple way, regardless of the sport. Effortless Swimming is absolutely brilliant at this. I've watched so many of your videos and they have helped so much. Thanks you sir. Do you have a patreon page by the way?

I’m still stopping swimming after 100 meters only 😢. I feel I had a reserve to swim more but I stop I don’t know why and take my breath then start again 😖😖😢😢😢

It took me a while to check out the distance should be 3.8km, which means he was swimming at average speed of 5.23 km/hr.

Get thanks

That is not a human, that is a machine!

I notice that the pace or the cadence is faster than others olimpic swimmers which is longer. He gives 72-74 spm, and others 50-60 as Sun Yang or Mark Horton, who are long distance swimmers. What cadence would you recommend? Many strokes or less strokes and glinding? Thank you

Excellent analysis. Would you please remove the background music when you talk in upcoming videos? Thanks!

Listed as 184 cm on wiki and you’re going with 192 big difference.

Great commentary 😊

Smokin'. It gives me something to aspire to!

thank you for the detailed analysis. Super helpful

The thing is. The best you are at the two other discipline the less you are good at swimming. Because your lower body muscle are so dense and heavy that it is just drowning
