  • Learn to swim by first learning to become balanced.
    If a swimmer is not balanced at the surface, then some proportion of propulsion is used to stay at the surface rather than propelling forward.
    If you can learn to push and glide, your swimming journey will be a safe and enjoyable journey.
    To add the kick, use the leg extension learned in the push and glide. Move the legs from the quads. The kick should pass evenly up and down, using a 50/50 mix of air and water at the feet. If your torso wobbles when kicking, your kick is moving too much water. The kick is either too big or too fast. You are always safer to reduce the size of the kick, using the quads whilst maintaining speed.

    This is the best swimming video I have come across on CZcams. The explanation is incredibly clear, and now I know what my issues are. 🙏

    This was so well explained! I’d never really thought about the the impact balance had on propulsion!

    This exercise was an eye-opener when I was learning how to swim. Feeling so much more confident now! Thank you!

    Hi, Its been just 5 days since I started to learn swimming, my trainer used to take me with little deep water , whenever I try to push and glide, I'm feeling scared as I could not balance whenever I tried to recover from gliding, please explain how do we overcome from that

    • @centreswim

      Great question and great work so far. The hard thing with swimming is you can not see your technique. It is your technique that will decide how balanced you are. Often swimmers feel unbalanced but actually they are doing a great job. I would recommend spending time in the shallow end practicing the push and glide. Become very familiar with your arms and head position. Whilst gliding test the position. Is your head still low? Are your arms pressing towards the surface. Your goal is to find these positions with very little extra work/ tension. The more relaxed you are the more mobile you become. As you become more body aware you will find it easier to trust your technique in the deep water. Chances are you are doing a great job and you need to trust your self and trust the process. Good luck and thank you for tuning in.

    My torso gets bent to one side and I turn upside down how to balance

    • @centreswim
      @centreswim  Před rokem +2

      Sounds like you may be too tense when gliding. Feel your legs together and biceps behind your ears but do not squeeze too tight. Instead pull your stomach to your spine to activate your core and allow the rest of your body to relax whilst holding technique. Great job so far. Good Luck.
