Body Position
You must think long!
Try to streamline along an axis, using your
center. The water level should come beween your goggles and your
hairline. Shoulders should ride higher than your legs. Feet are about
a foot below the service towards the bottom of the kick.
Arm Motion
The arms account for
about 4/5ths of your forward motion on the
freestyle. Arms should accelerate through the pull phase of the
stroke. Keep your elbows higher than the hand throughout the stroke.
Trying to keep your thumb down helps keep your elbow high. At the high
point of the recovery, the elbow is bent at 90% with the wrist
slightly bent. At the start the elbow leads, until the hand extends
for the catch.
Breathing and the
Kick
When taking your
breath, try to just take a bite of air. Turn your
head only enough to get your mouth out of the water. Don't overkick!
This will only tire you out. Try to keep your legs close together and
"boil" the water. Keeping the ankles loose, this will create a
whip-like action.
Kickboards
If you only had one piece of equipment, this should be it. The
kickboard supports the upper body, allowing you to concentrate on your
legs (kick.) Use it to work on a new kick or to improve your strength
and power.
Swim fins
If used properly, fins can really make a difference. They help to
build power and they increase the flexibility of the feet as well as
the ankles. They can make you faster!
Pull-Buoys - The kickboard for the lower body. They support the
legs so that you can work on form as well as drills.
