I never could catch what the third "R" is; it is clearly related to distance per stroke (dps) and turnover rate (spm), but I couldn't understand whatever word it is he's saying, as he seems to have a bit of an Aussie accent:) I did easily hear that the first 2 "Rs" are rhythm and relaxation.

Can someone dumb it down for me? Why Range means DPS(I'm assuming DPS here means distance per stroke)?

The guy is completely off his rocker, but I have to admit he did make me laugh. I'll have to start listening to 'staying alive' by the BeeGee's before my swim sessions.

From Brett in the video: "DPS KILLS EVERY Ag SWIMMER ALIVE!! (around 3:03)

Brett is obviously a kooky personality, but as an MOPer AGer trying to improve, I gotta agree with that - he goes through why right after in that rant.

Also love the "ahhh my arms are falling off!! waaaaah' rant antics at 5:00 making fun of how wussy AGers are about avoiding hard training and higher cadence LOL

You clearly don't have your American Red Cross Adult CPR certification.

"Optimal" chest compression rate = 100 compressions per minute
"Staying Alive" is taught as a way to keep that cadence...it's not in the manual or official.

"Another Bites the Dust" also works...but it is highly HIGHLY recommended NOT to sing that one out loud.

I agree. What it was saying makes sense. His results speak for themselves. And I thought he was very entertaining with his delivery.

I loved he told folks that advice he gave for one person was only for that person.

Love your posts on triathlon advice also.

My interpretation of his meaning of range is the ability to keep pulling as long as possible rather than stretching out to create artificial length and disturbing your rythym and relaxation. (hope that's not too confusing)

BTW how many people make sure there isn't any tension in their biceps on recovery phase?

I think English is his first language but he has a rather thick Aussie accent, or at least that was my impression in that video:)

THIS is why I got into teaching! Sutton validates the approach of sound core principals plus honouring individual differences to maximize individual performance.

What he says makes sense, as someone who is a crappy swimmer. I try to keep up with good technique but it's unsustainable. However, if someone is a "better" swimmer by not reaching so far forward each stroke, is that person doomed to always be a relatively crappy swimmer or do you slowly try to bring that back? Is that a known strategy?
