Hi! Folks,
Finally over the transfer to WordPress nightmare of the neophyte blogger, and went to the pool where are once again saw Chris, the swim coach at our local pool. Chris reminded me to ‘sneak through the water.’ Now, there’s a concept. OK! Back to the kiddy pool to work on whipping my kick and the gently catching some water with my hands/arms, pointing my fingers (kids in the sand pit) to keep my elbow high, using TI (Total Immersion) thinking to let the water take my weight. Very interesting. With a little practice you can feel the critical links between kick and arm stroke, when you are dumping water, and the importance of perfect timing and load (shear stress) as you integrate legs, core, shoulders and arms. I plan to get this right before going back into the lap lanes. I suspect I’ll have more speed, less effort, and more fun, which is what triathlon swimming is all about! Right?
