What the correct posture of the freestyle should be

Freestyle stroke timing is everything.

Correct posture for freestyle:

Freestyle Hand Pose:

The power of freestyle is mainly the stroke of the arm, and the arm action is divided into five parts: entering the water, holding the water, paddling, exiting the water and moving the arm in the air.

1. Water entry: The water entry point of the hand is generally on the parallel line of the longitudinal axis of the body, that is to say, it should be straight forward, not biased to the inside. When entering the water, your fingers are naturally straight and together, so you don't have to push too hard. The elbow is raised and the palm of the hand is stabbed into the water diagonally outward and downward.

2. Holding water: After the arm enters the water, in the process of inserting downward, the palm of the hand is inward and the wrist and elbow are flexed, and the elbow must be higher than the palm. At the end of the water hold, the whole arm is ready for the stroke.

3. Paddling: Paddling is the most important driving force, and its action process can be divided into two stages: pulling water and pushing water. After the holding phase is complete, rotate inwards with your big arm while continuing to bend your elbows and pull the water to the vertical plane of your shoulders before starting the pushing phase.

The big arm drives the small arm with force and pushes the water back hard. The shoulders are moved back with the arms to lengthen the effective stroke distance. Stroke all the way to the thighs.

The paddling path of the hand is an arc.

4. Out of the water: At the end of the stroke, the arm starts to come out of the water. When out of the water, the lower arms are relaxed and the elbows are slightly flexed. The upper arms bring the elbows and palms outward and upwards to lift out of the water. The whole movement should be coherent and gentle, not too urgent and too violent, otherwise it will increase the resistance of the body.

Freestyle Leg Pose:

Although the freestyle legs can also provide some propulsion, their main role is to maintain the stability and balance of the body. The legs are naturally brought together, the soles of the feet are slightly rotated inward, the ankle joints should be fully relaxed, and the thighs exert force to drive the calves and soles of the feet to pat the water up and down. Remember, don't move your thighs and knees too much.

Freestyle breathing:

Freestyle is generally a breath when paddling with both arms, left and right, with the right arm paddling towards the left outcropping and the left arm paddling towards the right outcropping.

After the arm is in the water, the mouth and nose begin to exhale slowly in the water. When the arm is drawn to the chest, start to turn the head to the opposite side and drain the air. When your arms come out of the water, keep your mouth above the water, open your mouth to breathe in, and then bury your head in the water.

Depending on your situation, you can choose to breathe on one side, or you can take turns breathing on both sides.

The correct posture for freestyle is as follows:

1. First of all, keep your body parallel to the bottom of the pool. When swimming, in addition to surfacing to ventilate, keep your head in the center and your eyes looking forward at the bottom of the pool. Rotate your arms and shoulders and twist your body as you move your arms, but keep your ventilation head in the center except for your ventilator.

This pose will allow you to maintain your balance smoothly while swimming in the confession.

2. Keep your hips floating on the water, which will make you more balanced and swim faster.

3. Relax the muscles of the neck and upper back. Raise your head up about 45 degrees. If your head is too close to your chest, the resistance created can make you feel tired when freeswimming.

After the water is completed, the arm cooperates with the rotation of the shoulder, the big arm rotates inward, drives the lower arm, the bent arm gradually stretches and strokes in the direction of the thigh, and the palm turns from the inside and bottom of the slope to the top of the oblique inside, and the thigh is stroked from the bottom to the top. Note that cutting water is the most important and critical power to provide forward gliding, not only to stroke strongly, but also to give full play to the propulsion.

Freestyle (freestyle), strictly speaking, is not a swimming style, but a kind of competition in competitive swimming, its competition rules have almost no restrictions on swimming style, and crawling this posture has a reasonable structure, low resistance, uniform and fast speed, which is the most labor-saving and fastest swimming style.

Therefore, people tend to use crawling, which has little resistance and fast speed, in this kind of competition with almost no restrictions on swimming style, so nowadays, freestyle and crawling are usually treated as the same. In 1896, the first Olympic Games freestyle was included as an official event.

Before the 50s of the 20th century, swimmers attached great importance to the role of hitting the water with their legs, and generally took turns to stroke with both arms for 1 time and hit the legs 6 times. Later, scientific research materials proved that the energy consumption of leg strokes is much greater than that of arm strokes, and the power to move the body forward mainly comes from the stroke action of the arms. Therefore, modern freestyle techniques based on arms pay attention to the stroke of the arms and the coordination of the arms.

The correct posture for freestyle is described below

When swimming in freestyle, try to maintain a horizontal position of lying on your stomach. However, in order to achieve a better action effect, the head should be naturally slightly raised, the eyes should be fixed on the front and bottom, the third of the head is exposed to the water, the horizontal plane is close to the hairline, the legs are at the lowest point, and the longitudinal axis of the body is about 3 5 degrees of elevation angle with the horizontal plane. In freestyle swimming, the body can make rhythmic rotations around the longitudinal axis of the body, and the angle of rotation is generally between 35 and 45 degrees.

If the speed increases, the angle will be relatively reduced. This rotation is a natural rotation due to the stroke of the arm, the head and the inhalation, and is not a conscious rotation.

The benefits of turning are as follows:1It facilitates the water discharge and aerial arm transfer of the arm, and shortens the turning radius of the moving arm.

2.Helps the arm hold and stroke in the water, bringing the most powerful part of the arm stroke closer to the vertical projection plane in the center of the body. 3.

Because the hips rotate slightly with the body, when the legs are in the water, part of the lateral water action is generated, which can counteract the effect of the lateral deviation of the body when moving the arms and maintain the balance of the body. 4.Easy to breathe.

How to practice freestyle ventilation is as follows:

Trick mantras. 1. Turn your head early and turn back late.

Because of the peculiarity of freestyle, the time that the mouth is hidden in the water is much greater than the time it takes to be out of the water, that is, the time available for breathing is very short, which is the difficulty of freestyle breathing. In such a short period of time, it does take some basic knowledge and skills to change into qi and change enough qi.

It's easier for beginners to turn their heads early and turn back later to keep their mouths on the water as long as possible. This may not sound professional, but it has an immediate effect for beginners. During this time of turning your head, you need to slow down the movement of your arms to give more time to breathe.

Trick mantras. 2. Exhale slowly and inhale quickly.

Because in freestyle, the nose and mouth spend a longer time underwater, so the speed of exhalation and inhalation is not as fast as the withthane may be. Exhale slowly in the water and spit it out before your mouth is ready to come out of the water. The rhythm of the middle exhale should be even and long.

When the mouth is exposed to the water, if the qi in the body is exhausted, then as long as there is a mouth, the qi will naturally be poured into the mouth due to negative pressure, and the breath will be inhaled in an instant, which is the reason for the fast inhalation, and there is no need to deliberately inhale hard. It's a bit of practice, and once you've mastered the essentials, it's all about the rhythm.

Trick mantras. 3. Paddle hard and ventilate the water nest.

After a certain speed, a small puddle will naturally appear in the mouth when you turn your head sideways, and the water level of this small puddle will be significantly low, which is actually the reason why the master is easy to breathe.

The water coming out of the bridge of the nose splits the water that originally flowed through the face into two parts, and due to the turbulence, a small puddle area is briefly formed in the mouth. Raising your head quickly and pushing the previous stroke will be of great help to the formation of water nests.
