... Regaining the standing positionIt is essential that non-swimmers being introduced to the water, are taught how to regain the standing position very early in their swimming development. This will help to develop confidence and is also an important safety skill. Initially this should be introduced using buoyancy aids or floats. From the prone position Practice • push and glide to the wall (with float) Teaching Points • lift head • tuck up knees • allow the feet to go to the bottom • stand up Practice • push and glide to the wall (without a float) Teaching Points • pull downwards and backwards with both arms • both feet down together Practice • push and glide away from the wall (without float) Teaching Points • relax - do not hurry • allow the legs to move towards the bottom of the pool Swimming Lessons PerthshireBack CrawlSome learners prefer Back Crawl because the face is clear of the water and breathing is easy. Back Crawl, with its continuous, alternating actions, is the most efficient backstroke and invariably used in backstroke competition. There are obvious similarities between Front Crawl and Back Crawl. These associations are useful when pupils are reminded of a skill or a part of a skill which is familiar to them. Body Position Key Points • supine, horizontal and streamlined • the head is pillowed in the water, ears just submerged • the head is kept still, eyes look upwards or slightly towards the feet • the chin may be tucked down slightly to help to keep the legs in the water • the hips must be close to the surface • the shoulders lean or roll into the stroke • there is a slight slope down from head to hips to keep the legs in the water • the legs tend to sway towards the pulling arm. This is kept to a minimum by an efficient leg action Leg Action The leg action helps to maintain the horizontal body position and balances the arm action. This minimises the tendency for the legs to sway from side to side. It may contribute some propulsion, Key Points • the continuous up and down alternating action is initiated at the hips • the legs work close together, big toes nearly brushing past each other • the legs are almost straight with the knees staying below the surface • the ankles are relaxed to allow the toes to point - (plantar flexed) and to in-toe naturally • the feet kick to the surface at the end of the upbeat without splashing Swimming Lessons PerthshireFloatingProne Float
This horizontal float can be a continuation of a prone push and glide. It can also be achieved from standing by lowering the shoulders and gently leaning forwards to lie face down in the water. A star float or X position is an easy variation. A count of ten is enough time to sustain the face down position. Key Points • take a breath • lean forward to face down position • lift the legs • make a star shape • relax • keep the head down Swimming Lessons PerthshireAberfeldy, Perth and Kinross Auchterarder Blackford, Perth and Kinross Blair Atholl Blairgowrie and Rattray Bridge of Earn Comrie Coupar Angus Crieff Dunkeld Killin Kinross Perth, Scotland Pitlochry Scone, Perth and Kinross
