Breaststroke - Thumb-Lock Extension

When working with young (or older) swimmers, reaching full extension in breaststroke is sometimes a challenge


Why Do It:
While you wouldn't do this in a race, locking the thumbs in extension starts to teach what true extension is.
How to Do It:
1.  Slow down the stroke, and focus on really reaching forward.
2.  During extension, wrap your thumbs together and glide.
3.  Squeeze in on the head like a modified streamline.
How to Do It Really Well (the Fine Points):
Slow down more.  The goal of this drill is to maximize the stretch on each stroke, and you want to wait between each stroke until you really feel it.  By locking the thumbs, some swimmers will be able to squeeze every last bit of length from the bodyline and extension of the arms.
Switch back to regular swimming, trying to maintain the feeling of extension, stretch, and body position that you achieved with the thumb-lock

蛙泳-锁大拇指 伸展练习
当教年龄小（或者老的）泳者，蛙泳时身体充分的伸展有时是一个挑战。

为何做此练习：
当你没能在比赛中充分伸展，在伸展时锁住大拇指会开始教你什么是真正的伸展。

如果做：
1.        放慢划水，专注努力前伸。
2.        伸展过程中，把你的拇指搭在一起并且滑行。
3.        （手臂）在头部向内挤压，好像一个修正的流线型。

如何做的更好（细则）
再放慢。这个练习的目的是在每次划水最大化伸展，而你在每次划水中要一直等到你真正感觉到（伸展）。通过锁住大拇指，有些泳者能够从流线型和手臂的伸展挤出最后一点长度。
转回正常的蛙泳，并试着保持你通过锁住拇指得到的伸展、拉伸、和身体位置的感觉。
