… to identify five important elements to free-style stroke. The first element is his body position in the water. For Ian to swim so efficiently and effectively, he holds his body almost horizontal to the surface of the water when he swims. He also keeps his body in full “stretch” position with his eyes look forward to achieve excellent streamline effect, and obtain maximum benefits from his powerful kicking. If Ian allows his body position to be completely horizontal to the water line, he will lose the power of his kick.
The second element to the free-style stroke is breathing. For Ian to breath so efficiently and effectively , he never allows his head to submerge or go completely beneath the surface of water. His head creates a bow wave, which his breath behind. He has a high head position in the water, which enable him to return/retain his head easily to breath in. Prepare to correctly breath in during the arm stroke, by having his chin nearly touching the shoulder of the arm that is completeing the push back phase.
gradually after the recovery and entry phase of the arm stroke, while his head turns back pass the center line of his body. There are two types of breathing that Ian uses during the training and competition. The first is bilateral breathing, way Ian breathes both sides, one in three strokes.The second is unilateral, way Ian breathes only to one side, one in two strokes.
Contributing to that very efficient technique is his arm stroke. The key elements that make his arm stroke so effective are:
1, He always maintains a long arm stroke;
2, He always keeps his elbows higher than his hands;
3, His hands are always relaxed and he pulls with the palms of his hands, his forearm and his shoulder.
He continue to extend his hand and arm after they enter the water, upstretch in front of his head, along the center line of his body. He performs the pull back phase by ? the water in front, and pulling it back down to the center line of the body, nearly touching his belly with the outstretched arm
and he gains great force and velocity to his stroke from the strong linked push back, using the full extension of the arm.
他通过充分伸展手臂形成强有力不间断的划水,并获得巨大的推动力和速度。
The fourth element is the leg kick. Ian is renowned in the competitive swimming world for his ability to engage his very powerful leg kick to prepare ? during a race . This is the product of the extraordinary legs pair channel through an extremly efficient kicking technique.
第四个要素是打腿。Ian闻名于竞争激烈的泳坛,因为在比赛中他能够充分运用那强有力的踢腿而xx。这是超凡的双腿通过高效的踢腿技巧产生的结果。
He begins the kick from his hip, slightly rotating his body for more force, then bend his knees slightly, follow by a full extension of the foot. During the upward motion, he heavily engages his hamstring muscle to enhance the movement and power to the overall kick. Ian maintianes the loose and relax angle during two phases of the leg kick, gaining maxium thrust from his feet.
allow his heel to just right the surface of the water. Ian does not kick any deeper than the width
of the body as this will cause more drain. Ian employs a variety of kicks during training and competition, depending on what he's planning to achieve. This various kick types include, the two-bit kick, for every arm stroke there is one kick; the six-bit kick, for every arm stroke there are three kicks。The 4-bit kick, in between the 2 and 6-bit kick, where one big and one small kick are made to each arm stroke
他的脚后跟刚刚在水平面。他的打腿幅度从不大于于身体的宽度(厚度?),因为那样只会造成更多体耗。在训练和比赛中,Ian根据不同的需求采取不同的打腿方式。包括二次打腿,即每一次划臂打一次;六次打腿,即每一次划臂,打三次。4次打腿,介于2次和6次之间,即每一次划臂,一次重腿加一次轻打腿。
. The fifth element is the body rotation. When Ian swims during training or competition, his body naturally rotates or rolls from side to side on his long axis. Ian's body rotation is caused by the rotating actions of his arms and his natural movement. This rotation assists his body to engage the large chunk muscles, making the stroke more efficient. It also helps his arms to recover, allowing his hips and legs to move naturally with the movement of his body, and his head to turn to breath. If Ian didn't allow his body to rotate, it will sway from side to side , greatly reduce the efficiency of his stroke and his overall performance in the water.
