The basics for lap training as far ...Awesome Arun. <br />The basics for lap training as far as stroke goes - keep it smooth. You see the racers thrashing like mad in the sprint distances at the Olympics, but it isn't the way to go if your swimming further than 400meters. Heres the best advice I picked up from being coached by an olympic gold medalist for years when I was a kid:<br />Your hand should enter the water just in front your head at an angel with a flat palm to slice through the water with minimal disruption and then stretch out your arm straight before cupping your hand and pulling though the water - keeping your arm close to your body.<br />Kick is really more important... its the beat and tempo that keep the music going, otherwise its turns to chaos. You dont want to be making to much splash with the kick, your feet should barelly break out of the water - it dosent give any propulsion. Practice your kicking while holding onto the wall or using a kickboard and fine tune it until you have a nice steady beat with minimal splash and a good feel that your really propelling yoruself forward.<br />To really push your self try breathing every 3 strokes then pushing it to 4 (3 feels very odd - if you cant just push straight to 4 so your breathing on the same side every time). <br />And if your still looking for a challenge and to impress your friends, learn to tumble turn like the pros - it isn't easy but its a great feeling to be able to swim flatout at a wall spin around under the water and explode off the wall head off the other direction. Plus you dont get the sissy extra breath while grabbing the wall and turning. It's hard to explain - checkout youtube and make sure your practice the flip/tumble out in openwater before trying on the wall<br />And then theres mixing up the strokes, back stroke and breast stroke are cool but for a really good workout butterfly is where its really at. Really takes a powerful dolphin kick and tests your shoulders to get it right. If you can swim 400 meters of that with good form then your getting an awesome workout.<br />Hope that help Arun, swimming was a major passion of mine for many years.Bill Riddellhttp://billriddell.comnoreply@blogger.com
