Plan de estudios
Freestyle is the fastest, most efficient, and most widely used stroke in swimming. Because swimmers spend so much time practicing freestyle, it often develops a natural fluidity unmatched by other strokes. However, it also presents the risk of reinforcing bad habits, especially when swimmers are tired . Our elite clinicians will help your swimmer establish strong foundational habits and share strategies for maintaining an efficient stroke, even when pushing themselves in practice.
- BODY POSITION: A strong freestyle starts with an excellent "aquatic line," where the head, torso, hips, and feet align at the surface of the water. This streamlined position reduces resistance, making swimming both easier and faster. Maintaining this alignment is key to an effective and efficient freestyle stroke.
- BODY ROTATION: Proper rotation of the hips and shoulders together is crucial for generating and delivering power to the arms and hands. By incorporating the stronger back muscles into the pull, swimmers can achieve a more powerful stroke. Our clinicians will focus on teaching swimmers to rotate their hips and shoulders in unison, while establishing proper timing with their arm strokes.
- BREATH: A well-timed breath that works together with body rotation is essential to maintaining a strong aquatic line. Instead of lifting the head, which can cause the hips and feet to drop, swimmers should rotate their head at the neck and elevate their chin slightly while breathing. This minimizes unnecessary movements and keeps the body aligned. Our clinicians will work with your swimmer to develop a smooth, efficient breath that complements their stroke.
- KICK: A great flutter kick in freestyle relies on maintaining a small, fast, and consistent motion throughout the stroke. Each leg should function as an individual kick, even though both legs move simultaneously. Many young swimmers struggle with "scissor kicks," where the feet move out to the side during body rotation to stabilize the body. This disrupts the aquatic line, throws off timing, and significantly reduces efficiency and speed. Our clinicians will help your swimmer correct these habits and develop a propulsive, well-timed kick that enhances their freestyle.
