Heavy Or Not - The O.G. Swim GuideThe Gift of Swimming Propulsion with Dr. Maglischo's insightSwimming Mechanics: Heavy Or Not, The OG Swim Guide The Science of Speed: Unpacking Resistance and Propulsion in Elite Swimming Doctor Ernie Maglischo is an ISCA & ASCA Hall of Fame Coach and still updating his most recent ebooks. Understand the biomechanics of swimming and explore how elite athletes generate propulsive force and minimize water resistance in the pool. Drawing on expert analysis, we examine the fundamental characteristics of water flow, classifying water as a semi-solid whose density is over 800 times greater than air. Learn how competitive swimmers battle resistive drag—including form drag (profi...

Heavy Or Not - The O.G. Swim GuideOG, Coach Ernie Maglischo, Ph.D, has updated his PROPULSION info in his ebook The ebook from the great Ernie Maglischo, author and coach -- as well as ISCA Hall of Fame members, is releasing an update to his coaching manual focused on the science of swimming. It examines the hydrodynamics of various strokes to optimize performance. The author analyzes techniques used by elite swimmers, considering factors like water resistance, propulsion, and body position. The manual also discusses debatable aspects of swimming, including breathing techniques and kicking styles. It emphasizes the importance of understanding the underlying physics to inform coaching decisions and stroke modifications. Ultimately, the goal is to provide coaches with insights to he...

Heavy Or Not - The O.G. Swim GuideEpic Insights from OG, Wayne Goldsmith plus Heavy Or Not clarifications, flashback and previews for #13We have a 13th episode. We were blessed and fortunate and made a trip to Equator and the Galapagos Islands – and our ship, the Isabella II, had no cabin #13. Stay tuned for some housekeeping on past and future content – after we hear some epic content from an O.G. – Wayne Goldsmith. The essence of coaching is an art and its roots are in changes. People of sports are change makers. The heavy part of sports and coaching is emphasizing that it's not just about the technical aspects like volume, intensity, and frequency. Sports and coaching is about inspiring athlet...

Inside with Brett HawkeBiomechanics by Ernie Maglischo | ASCA Talk #024This week’s ASCA Talk comes from renowned swimming coach and researcher Ernie Maglischo from the 1998 World Clinic.
He provided some fascinating new insights into the mechanics of swimming propulsion. Having long been a proponent of lift-based theories, Coach Maglischo admitted he may have been wrong in his understanding and presented compelling evidence that drag forces likely play a much larger role than previously thought.
Coach Maglischo walks you through the history of research in this area, from Schleihauf’s early plaster hand studies showing lift dominance, to more recent work calling those results into ques...

Inside with Brett Hawke#143 Arthur AlbieroArthur Albiero has been the Head Coach of the Men's and Women's Swimming & Diving Teams at the University of Louisville since 2003. When he took the job, the men's team had half of a scholarship. The pool was in a basement. The team had no culture of winning. Fast forward 18 years and all that has been turned around.
Born and raised in Brazil, Coach Albiero has an amazing swimming story. At 12 years old he got the opportunity to attend Don Gambril's swim camp at the University of Alabama. He walked on at Cal State Bakersfield, swimming for the l...
