How to Improve Your Swimming Speed?
If you want to
improve your swimming speed, remember these points as follows.
Many swimmers will find that they can't swim fast and only stay at the same level. No matter how hard they try, they can't improve their swimming speed. Why is that? In Today's Swimming Class, we will talk about the key points that swimmers should remember in order to improve their swimming speed.
The palm is at an angle of 45 degrees with the water pointing to the outside, which enters the water from the thumb. The arm extends to the front of the shoulder, which is the water entry point of the freestyle near-body straight rower. However, it should be pointed out that entering the water near the head is a wrong beginning when the swimmer is too eager to paddle. In the second half of the next stroke, his arm will not be straightened, which means he can't prepare for the next stroke, so he can't improve his speed.
The correct way is to speed up the stroke step by step, not push but stroke. In the past, it was always believed that the driving force to push the human body forward was the reaction force generated by pushing the water from the front to the back by hands and feet. With the progress and research of sports science, it was found that it is the stroke action that generates the thrust instead of pushing the water.
Swimmers paddle up, down, left and right with their hands and feet, just like sweeping the floor. That is to say, the thrust generated by paddling with the correct angle and strength of hands and feet is much greater than that generated by pushing water with their hands alone.
Tilting the palm of your hand at 20-50 degrees will speed up the swimming. Swimmers can use the lifting force to gain thrust by paddling up, down, inward and outward with their hands and feet. If you can tilt the palm to an appropriate angle, you can not only improve the swimming speed, but also save energy.
It is found that when the angle of palm inclination is 40 degrees, the maximum lift force can be achieved. If the palm of your hand is at the angle of resistance from water, even if you slap water, the thrust is very small. Therefore, which direction to stroke is the key. In practical swimming, it is difficult to keep the stroke angle at 40 degrees, so the correct stroke angle is between 20° and 50°. In order to improve the speed, it is necessary to master the technique of stroke at this angle.
Last but not least, choose a good
swimsuit which can reduce water resistance. If you want to improve your swimming speed effectively, you must keep these points in mind and learn to integrate them, so that your swimming performance will gradually improve.
