Hello everybody, and welcome back to my
swimming blog. As most of you may know (the readers of this blog,
that is), This week I'm STILL doing posts about the freestyle,
despite the need of these posts about freestyle being posted on my
blog a few weeks ago already. For those of you who don't read my
blog, I'll just tell you that the reason I'm doing these posts about
freestyle right now is because there wasn't any other convenient time
to do it other than right now, since there are no other swimming
styles to be discussed about and there are still some “loose ends”
to tie up.
Now, where were we after that post
about the freestyle? Let me see... (leg movement, hand movement, ah
yes, here it is...) Oh yeah, the ultimate freestyle post; how to
compile all these techniques we've learned about freestyle (including
the ones I managed to do a few weeks ago before I somehow forgot to
do the freestyle posts. Remember that time? By the way, this question
is for the people who actually read my posts. For those of you who
don't/don't always read my posts, well, all I can say is this; it was
a long story) into this one, final post about using all these
techniques (in fact, those posts were all to prepare you for this
final topic: to swim faster using all the techniques you've learned
in this style) to maximize your skills in swimming freestyle.
As usual, although I'm quite
professional in the business of the freestyle (not to brag, of
course), I will, however, require the aid of (drum-roll, please!) a
video! And an impressive video at that, too (although, I have to
admit, it's not very “official” (you know, professional-looking),
but for damn sure it's bound to spark more interest in you more than
the other videos I've posted... Hopefully). Other than containing
some interesting video transitions, titles and the like (as plain as
they are), they're still bound to at least interest you more than
those other videos in my other posts. Anyway, here's the link.
Readers, I'm not forcing you to watch
the video (not like I usually do by patronizing you guys in my other
posts about swimming), all I'm saying is that it'll be great if you
do. Although not the most “professional-looking” videos in the
business, I guess my enlightenment in swimming faster in the style
will (probably) help assist your (probably) confused mind. If you
don't watch the video, however, well, I guess you'll be heeding my
advice, which is more trustful now that it's assisted with the video.
So anyway, enough chitchat, let's get straight to it!
As you may have seen in the video (for
those of you who've watched it, that is), in order to REALLY maximize
your swimming speed, you need to maximize the following components (I
said “following components” because these are the components of
the freestyle that matter the most if you're trying to maximize your
swimming speed in the freestyle): Your balance, body position and
rotation, the pull of your hands and the strike of your hands.
Perfect all this and you should have no problem maximizing your
freestyle swimming speed.
Well guys, that should be it. Sorry for
the small advice, but honestly that's the whole point of the video
(and honestly, I'm suddenly reconsidering to change the “usefulness
rating” of that video I showed you guys in the link). By next time,
I'll (probably) think of something else about swimming. So until
then, I'll be seeing ya!
