Announcements and Water
What do you think of others when you see them really truly try and fail?
What makes a trustworthy athlete?
In Yesterday's video, we saw Matt from Tennessee talk about the water and refer to a guy named Bill Boomer.  Bill is kind of a swimming god, and here they are together talking about how to address the water before you even try to do anything.
What's your "aquatic signature"?
Continuing on, watch the balance and "rhythm cycle."
What's a "rhythm cycle" and why does he call it that instead?
What does it mean "the impulse is connected to the pelvis"?
"Get yourself pulled down the pool by your throw."  What does he mean?
"... creating the impulse from the high side and moving that into the space."  What does he mean?
What's the purpose of the bottom arm then?
How is swimming freestyle like cross country skiiing?
Now let's look at the same concept in Butterfly through 1 arm fly.
1 arm fly is to work on throwing the recovery, what's a "ballistic" movement and why is that important to the arm throw forward in butterfly, what are we hoping to get out of throwing our arms forward?
What do we want to avoid in the Fly recovery and why?
Finish this sentence:  The longer the lever...
The recovery in all strokes must accelerate.  The more the acceleration, the more momentum generated from the recovery and landing.  What does this mean?
Tell me about the hand position in the Fly recovery and why this matters?
Jonty Skinner is a former world record holder in the 100 Free and long time coach of Olympians from the US and around the world.  He's going to talk about his coaching and how the physics of the water informs his philosophy.
Just like Coach Matt Kredich at Tennessee, he does not want to hold his athletes hands through the learning process, it's their job to go after their learning as he presents ideas and possibilities to them.  How do you experiment and learn with the opportunities you have?
Even at the highest level, balance and buoyancy are so important, even MORE important than at the lower levels of swimming.  How do you check in with these things during practice or as you're getting going?
Why is being able to control your body in a strong and connected fashion on land so important to swimming well?
Why can't you just swim with your hands and your arms and your legs, why is swimming with your core so much more important?
How does he describe freestyle and the importance of leverage to vault over every stroke you take?
Explain to me how throwing the recovery on the opposite side can create more leverage for the arm that's vaulting forward off your water hold underwater?
You're all different and you all have to figure out how to get the water to work for you and your body.   It's your job to listen to the water to "feel it."  What are you wanting to feel when you swim that tells you you're going fast?
