1: Balance平衡 05:05--09:22

Key focus point 1: Balance
要点1:平衡
When most people see me swimming like this, they would never get that they all begin with
this---balance!
当大多数人看到我这么游的时候(动如脱兔状),他们从来不会想到最开始是这么练出来的(静若处子
)。。。平衡。
Perfect balance isn't possible. Almost no one can float perfectly flat or horizontal in
the water. But trying to stay as balance as possible is extremely important to fast
swimming.
要做到完美的平衡是不可能的,几乎没有人能够完美地水平漂浮在水面上,不过,能够尽量平衡地呆在
水面上对于游泳的速度至关重要。
If you can keep your body horizontal when you swim, you create a lot less drag, and all
your energy can be used to send you forward.
如果你在游泳的时候能够保持身体的水平,那么你划臂就会省力的多,而且全部的力量都可以用来推动
你向前。
A good way to find your balance is to float face down on the surface of the water without
moving. I am using a snorkel as I do this, but you can try it by just holding your breath.
找到自己平衡点的好办法就是脸向下,一动不动地漂在水面上。我在做这项练习的时候使用了呼吸管来
帮助我放松,不过你也可以屏住呼吸来进行练习。
When your legs and hips start to sink, make slight adjustment at the top end of your body
just to stay afloat.
当腿部和臀部开始下沉的时候,可以在身体上半部分轻轻调整以保持漂浮状态。
Look down with your eyes, your best head position should be similar to your natural
posture when you are out of water looking straight ahead.
眼睛向下看,最佳的头部位置应当和你在水上自然平视的姿势差不多。
Press in, or lean in on your chest and lungs, and press in with your hips, working with
your feel until you find your optimal natural balance point.
压一压胸部、臀部、腿部调节。。,直到找到自己最佳的平衡点为止。
Once you find your balance point, you can start to kick a little bit. Try to maintain your
horizontal body position as you move forward. This is your starting point for everything
in freestyle.But balance is way more than leaning in staying horizontal.
找到平衡点后,可以开始轻轻地打腿,向前移动时尽量保持身体的水平姿势。这是自由泳一切技术的起
点,不过平衡不仅仅是保持水平那么简单.
For me, balance means keeping your right side and left side equal and symmetrical.
对我来说,平衡意味着保持左右两侧动作一致,并且对称。
In this clip, try to focus just on my arms. Notice how the angle of the elbows is the same
on both sides, and how my hands enter at the same point on both sides.
这段视频里,请把注意力放在我的胳膊上。看我两侧移臂的屈肘角度相同,并且手掌入水位置也一样。
From under water, you can see how I try to balance the path of my hand on both sides, and
how I try to rotate an equal amount on both sides, from one hip, to the other.
从水下看,你能看到我是如何随着髋从一侧到另一侧转动时,平衡两侧划水路线,并且划相同数量的水,转动相同的角度。
Being balance, side to side, helps me move in a more direct line down the pool that is
critical on 50, or 100 free.
保持两侧的平衡,有助于我能沿着一条直线游进,这对50、100米自由泳来说至关重要。
Balance also means keeping your upper body and lower body equally efficient.
平衡也意味着保持你的划水和打腿同样有效。
In this clip, you can see that I am in horizontal balance, but also, that my kick doesn't
overpower my pull, and vice versa.
在这段视频里,可以看到我保持身体水平,而且,我的打腿没有过度强于划水,反之亦然。
When I pick it up to race pace, the balance is still there. The kick and arms are working
at the same level of the tensity, and this helps me drive forward at a steady, even speed.
当我改用比赛速度游时,依然保持平衡。打腿和划水保持相匹配的强度,这有助于我匀速、快速的向前游进。
Here is one more clip at race pace, look for the horizontal balance, the side-to-side
balance, and the balance between the kick and the pull.
这是另外一段以比赛速度游的视频,注意身体位置、左右两侧以及打腿划水之间的平衡。
When you working on balance at pool, don't be afraid to slow down, and work on one aspect
at a time---horizontal balance, side-to-side balance or symmetry, and the balance of
effort between kick and pull.
当你在池子里游的时候,不要担心速度慢,每次练习一种平衡:身位平衡、两侧对称平衡、打腿划水平
衡。
