Now that we can swim to the side of the pool, let's work on diving. See category:Diving.
Week 3, Lesson 10[]
Lesson: Social Skills: Collaboration (ebook) Backstroke week, sorta.
Back Crawl or Backstroke British Swimming has been weakest in back crawl for decade. Same too with WPIAL and City Swimming. Perhaps the best known performers, on the dorsal stroke, relative to Europe and the World have been John Brockway, Graham Sykes among the men and Judy Grinham, Margaret Edwards and Natalie Steward among the women, and those days are long gone. On examination, this stroke is not nearly so popular as are the other strokes, partly I suspect because lying on one's back, groping for unknown water and pushing forward to go backward does not sound the most attractive of propositions. I feel also that with the advent of the larger squads, there is a lot less opportunity for the Backstroke swimmer to do specific work - plus the preponderance of circle swimming necessary to accommodate the bigger numbers makes life extremely difficult for the youngster with aspirations to being a Backstroke expert. However, as any one who has had the privilege to have watched Roland Maithes swim, will attest, the stroke, when performed properly is a joy to behold. Before beginning to drill the squad it would certainly be helpful to use a video of a good backstroke swimmer, so the fluency of the stroke may be seen, and the aims of the exercise stated. We with PPS Summer Dreamers, swim indoors, no excuses for the sun, unlike California. Small groups on breastroke to get everyone legal.
Breaststroke Arms Drlls:[]
l. Laying over a lane rope practice breaststroke arm pull. (Keep elbows in front of shoulders in recovery.)
2. Using pull buoy, pull breastroke, head up.
3. Using pull buoy, pull breaststroke, face in water, breathing every stroke.
4. As in previous drill, but breathe every second pull. (Look for late breath.)
5. Discard pull bouy, trail legs and pull breaststroke. (Increases resistance.)
6. Discard pull buoy, pull breaststroke with legs apart in V shape. (Further increases resistance.)
7, Repeat drill 5 and 6 but breathe every second stroke.
8. With rubber band around knees, pull breaststroke, head up.
9. As in drill 8 but with head down, breathing every stroke.
10. Discard bands, pull breaststroke fast, introducing a small dolphin-like kick (speeds up movement), head up.
11. As in practice l0 but with face in water, breathing every stroke.
12. Using pull buoy again, leave left arm outstretched and use right arm only (isolates the movement).
13. Using pull buoy, land now pull left arm.
14. Combining 12 and 13 pull three right, three left, or whatever combination required. (Isolates arms and adds variety.)
15. For a series component. Do first 25 yards with pulling three right then three left. Second 25 yards, pulling both arms. Third 25 yards, right arm only. Fourth 25 yards, left arm only.
16. Pull breaststroke, legs trailing (resistance).
17. Pull breastroke, using pull buoy (resistance).
18. Pull breaststroke, using pull buoy and rubber band (resisrance).
19. All the three exercises 16, 17, 18 using fins.
2 meter line, 5 meter line. 5 meter shots.
How to on 5 meter shots.
