Swimming Pic of the Week - May 20, 2010

Posted by Glenn Mills on May 20, 2010 01:08PM (2,687 views)

This week's Pic is a moving picture. Doing our best to illustrate the speed at which the hands and head need to move forward after the breath in breaststroke. Tell us how we (me) did. It's a work in progress... thanks to Roque Santos.

- Check out a much better breaststroke with Brendan Hansen's DVD

breaststroke, breath control, pull, Roque Santos

Delifus	Responded May 21, 2010 11:43AM Glenn, How are you communicating the feel of your hands and hands moving at a high velocity? I think that we all have the problem with our age groupers and seniors of driving their head up on the inscull and driving their chin to their chest on the recovery.
Juliette	Responded May 21, 2010 02:11PM Master Glenn.....can I come over as aprentice?????
rednicolas	Responded May 27, 2010 11:06AM Looks pretty good. The one thing I would probably criticize is that you're still reaching a bit to wide with your hands.
clppentaqua	Responded May 27, 2010 07:07PM At the end of the insweep, the elbows are behind the shoulders. I think that that stops the swimmer diving forward earlier and as a result, the swimmer falls flatter on to the water and doesn't go through a "hole" seamlessly.
