How you initiate every length when you're in the pool can change the entire dynamic of your length and experience.

Learn to perform pushoffs and streamlines like the greatest swimmers. Once you learn these skills, you'll be on your way to swimming smoothly down the length


Better Pushoffs

So the next phase in this is that we're going to turn the water on at a fairly moderate speed. And we're going to make real a lot of noise, we're basically going to make noise with the right hand and left leg and the left leg left hand and the right leg. So we're going to have a big splashy kick. To make this really dynamic to make you really feel that there are these hips going on at the opposite ends of the body. So take this slow, initially slow this down, don't try to make this really fast, we'll pick up the speed in a little bit. But right now, your focus is on just the coordination of the cross-body connection. And again, this is to build a logical two-beat kick, something that's connected. So here we go. This is just allowed to beat kicks. So big hands, big feet, you can see my feet come way out of the water on this.

So purposely making it very dynamic, so that you can feel what's going on. This might take a few times to try, it might be one of those things that you might be kicking, entering the left hand, and kicking the left foot at the same time. Some people do that. And you know, it feels good while you're doing it, but I just keep thinking of when I kick my left foot down, what happens to my hips, my hips will pop up, if my hips are popping up when my left hand is going on, going in, which causes my body to go that way. To me, that doesn't feel right. If it feels right to you. That's fine. This is just an alternative solution. I'm going to look more into how it feels to go the same side at the same time. But right now, that doesn't feel good. So this is a way that again, if this is logical to you, then let's keep going down this path. And if it's not logical to you, keep doing what you're doing.
