A COACH

QUESTION....


 The most popular response for swimming teachers, when asked what they love most about the role, is the satisfaction of building a young swimmer's confidence in the water. It's a hugely rewarding experience and one which sticks with some people for the rest of their life

BREASTSTROKE


 Breaststroke timing and coordination is a continuous alternating action, where one propulsive phase takes over as one ends. Incorrect timing will make good leg kick and arm techniques cancel each other out and render them ineffective. A good way of practising the timing sequence is to perform it in slow motion

Getting ready for the lesson...

Why is it important to practice the underwater dolphin kicks?


 It is important to practice the body undulation and dolphin kick until you can perform them well without fins. This will make learning the butterfly stroke much easier.

Underwater kicking is the fastest swimming stroke. Let's get it right....

Reasons to kick


 The main reason is that a flutter kick creates lift for the legs so your legs will stay high positioned in the water. The higher the legs, the less drag, the faster (or easier) you will swim.

Why is shoulder rotation important ...swimming


 As you rotate from one side to the other side while swimming freestyle, you are transferring power between your arms and shoulders through your core, back and chest muscles. Because these muscles are considered some of the strongest in the body, especially for swimmers, you can generate more power

Having a great time with this one...

Why is water confidence important....


 The main aim of building up water confidence is to prevent fear, which can lead to panic – the most common cause of drowning. By teaching your child about the properties of water you can help to reduce or eliminate this fear by showing them how to be safe and also have fun with water.
