[Effortless Swimming] How To Adjust Your Stroke In A Race
How To Adjust Your Technique In A Race (Video)It's possible to adjust your technique in the middle of a race.
Just because you started one way doesn't mean you need to finish that way.
The reason you might make a change mid-race is because different techniques
are faster at different stages of a race.
The best example of this was in the 100m freestyle at the London Olympics.
American Nathan Adrian won by 0.01 of a second by making a small change.
Can you spot it in this video?

Raising Champion Swimmers (Podcast)
Being a parent of a swimmer is just as demanding as being a swimmer.
I chatted with Gary Barclay about this topic and how parents can best raise
a champion swimmer.
Gary has worked with all levels of swimmers from learn to swim up to
Australian representatives.
I hope you get as much out of this interview as I did.
Listen to the podcast
Until next week!

**Using Metrics in your practice, once you have establised your swimmers,stroke count, stroke rate, distance of stroke, etc. how often do you go back and measure this again? Thanks...**

Something daily, even OYO! Conduct a Race Analysis Circuit monthly and
use the info and forms available to download free at
www.gamesgimmickschallenges.com/coaching resources. Also download Race
Analysis at parametrix.org or several other sites. There is one App that
does RA just by shaking your cellphone. Video your meet swims and on
Monday do RA on your better swimmers. Have a standard to receive it
since you cannot do everyone. Ask for help at fastswimmin@gmail.com
Dear friends,
I want to tell you about one a new concept available in our swim-sport,
This is not for the elite... but is very good for ‘beginners’... and for ‘masters’ too
About the ‘BEST- formula’ concept ....
What mean this new concept…?:
[attention:it can be applied/adapted for more other sport-disciplines]
With this formula we can calculate, very exactly- mathematic + mental way, the Individual Efficiency + the best personal technique of each swim-style (4)
This idea, derive from one ancient aphorism – ‘festina lente…!’ (Suetonius);
In the swim-version it means -
[ P.I.G. + (K) - [ Time in sec. + Stroke arms, tempo / 5om ] = ....
points of the “Bio-mechanical Efficiency Swimming Test” (B.E.S.T.) ....
P.I.G. = Personal Index for Gliding ... so
[ L. + (K) ] - [ Kgr.+ Q ]
L. = extreme longer of the body in float position (ventral or dorsal...).
(K) = aleatory 100 points.
Kgr. = weigh
Q = circumf. of the Torax in max. Expiration (under axile arms, like tailor)
Obs,:
1. PIG have constant value, every day... [ minimum by one year for ex.]....
2. Time and Stroke is changeable in every training, every day...

Obs,:
1. PIG have constant value, every day... [ minimum by one year for ex.]....
2. Time and Stroke is changeable in every training, every day...
for
ex.; if PIG is 200 points you can make sum of Time/in sec.(30”) with
Tempo/ for 50m(30 moves)... finally you can estimate your efficiency in
every moment {200 – 60 = 140 points}, maybe in other day you will swim
Time= 27” in +29 stroke rate, that mean 200 – 57 = 143 point; 140 is
less than 143... that mean when you have more point - your efficiency is
better....
3. PIG give possibility to make equal series in one race [8 lane x 190/210 pig points]
4. BEST-formula [point of the efficiency] can be better if you can swim ‘very fast [that mean less seconds] with less moves’ ... but this desirable event is possible only if you use only the best technique, believe me - with bad technique the result will be bad, down point.
For this reason if you accept to use this new concept [less nr. of Time(“) + less stroke / by lenght of pool] the results will be good – this is prove that you addopt a new think to swim(!) and, finally, you can use a better technique, with “BEST” Efficiency !

** this new concept I found, also, to in Emmet Hines book [Fitness swimming], HK, 1995/pag. 26 : "swim-golf".... but my first referat is dated 1983 when in my country was 'amaising' comunist sistem'....
