When it comes to mature learning freestyle or training to do your first triathlon, there is one thing that you must understand immediately-

Velocity in the waters does not only concern power. It is a matter of technique.

We instruct Freestyle Swim Technique for mature at Swim Faster Madison that the secret to faster and more efficient freestyle is not increasing speed and increased endurance, although they are important components of the process, but balance and streamlining. These two are the basis or foundation of whatever else you have in your stroke.

So, what exactly makes them so important, and how can you perfect them?

What is Streamline, and why is it so important?


Streamline is a form that helps your body move through the water with minimum resistance. Imagine that as the best shape that your body can assume, such as the front end of a torpedo.


The proper streamline assists one to decrease drag, enhances the length of the stroke, and attains speed without effort. It is even more vital off the wall, in drills, and in open water, where energy is saved.

  • A good streamline contains-
  • ·       Arms outstretched, hands piled
  • ·       Head aligns with spine, downward eyes
  • ·      Strictly jack off hips
  • ·       Cheeky legs and toed bods

Regardless of the length of laps or distance of a swim, a clean streamline will help you to swim smarter rather than harder.

The importance of Balance and Streamlining to mature Swimmers


Some of the mature swimmers, mainly the novices and the triathletes, tend to ignore the fundamentals and proceed directly to mileage. But bad form results in

  • ·         Shortness of breath after a couple of laps
  • ·         Fatigue of the shoulders, neck, and lower back regions
  • ·         Drag of any kind that slows you down, however much preoccupied you are

Our swimmers at Swim Faster Madison go through the following-

  • ·         Smoother breathing
  • ·         Longer strokes, relaxed Chords and scales. Strokes are longer and more relaxed
  • ·         A larger sense of security in deep water
  • ·         Quicker with fewer efforts

 

The way Swim Faster Madison Teaches These Things


To establish a good base, coach Carl uses one-on-one exercises and small group settings to guide adults through-

  • ·         Streamlines are sliding off the wall
  • ·         Superman balances and drills
  • ·         Freestyle method, slow-motion
  • ·         Video or real-time feedback (where available)
  • ·         Balance exercises that are combined with breath control exercises

These instructions are provided in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere at the pool, making it perfect for adult swimmers or those with water anxiety problems.
