Bruno Fratus!

One of the greatest Brazilian sprinters of all time, Bruno Fratus was a 50-free finalist in three Olympic Games, finishing 4th in 2012 (London) and sixth in 2016 (Rio) and he won the Bronze Medal in Tokyo in 2021. On our Zoom, you’ll have a chance to ask Bruno when we catch up with him at the US Olympic Trials in Indianapolis. Each day this week, we’ll post a close-up video of Bruno in action.

**Fratus: Slow to Fast**

We consider this to be one of the most instructive videos in the GoSwim archive. It shows above- and below-water views of Bruno swimming 4 X 25, slow to fast. It shows the key things Bruno works on at slow speeds, so that they’re locked in and instinctive when he swims at top speed.

**Why is it important to have specialists?**

**Fratus: Hands**

The integrity of Bruno’s front-end extension is the key reason he’s reached the pinnacle of the sport.

**Why is it different getting analysis from an Olympian vs. Your Coach?**

**Fratus: Head and Breath**

One hallmark of Bruno’s freestyle is his quick, delayed breath. He works on it at slow speeds, so that it’s instinctual at race pace.

**How can you apply your experience to the analysis?**

**Fratus: Hips**

Bruno’s high hips are an essential part of his picture-perfect bodyline. At the water line, we see not just his suit but the SIDES of his suit. This shows horizontal bodyline AND rotation.

**How important is individual feedback?**

**Friday**

**Fratus: Flip Turn**

There’s a precision to everything that Bruno does in the water – even his flip turns. When we want to show how tight you can and should be during a flip turn, THIS is the video we turn to.

**How early should you start skill development feedback?**

**Saturday**

**Fratus: Dog Dig**

Dog Dig is one of Bruno’s favorite drills for perfecting his all-important catch and feel for the water. Again, we’re struck by the precision with which he executes this familiar drill.

**How do you know if you’re doing a drill right or what the exact purpose of the drill is?**

**Sunday**

**Fratus: Start – Underwater Dolphins**

You don’t clock 21.17 in the 50m free without a great start, underwater, and breakout. Here’s how Bruno practices these elements of his race.
