Forward thinking is about trying new things that sometimes appear more radical. This past week at the University of Tennessee and Tennessee Aquatics, Coach's Matt Kredich and Marshall Goldman showed us their version of the backstroke breakout. Why do it:
Maintaining as much speed as possible during the transition from the underwater to swimming, can make you faster. How to do it:
1 - Initiate your underwaters like you normally do.
2 - Instead of starting to take a pull with your bottom arm, give a quick "sweep" pull over the top of your body with your top arm.
3 - Continue that arm into the recovery and take your first pull with the other arm. How to do it really well (the fine points):
This isn't as much about the TOP arm as you may think. By sweeping the top arm quickly, close to the body, you'll realize the additional benefit of a better bodyline with the extending arm. A couple other quick details are, this is not a traditional "pull" with the top arm, but rather a cross-body sweep. Trying to "catch" too much, can roll the swimmer over too far and break the bodyline. In addition, really focus on the next three strokes, not just the first one. Doing this correctly allows for consistent momentum through those first three strokes... which carries more speed into the rest of the length. Use this as inspiration to invent other ways to maintain momentum into your swimming.
