freestyle - Open-Water Drafting in a Pool


So the winter is upon us and it's time to go indoors to practice swimming.  How does a good open-water swimmer or triathlete learn effective skills indoors?

NOTE:  For more ideas on how to practice your open-water and triathlon skills in a pool, pick up a copy of Go Swim Open-Water with Fran Crippen or Go Swim Triathlon Skills with Sara McLarty...available as DVDs, streaming, or as part of our new subscription service
Why Do It:
Learning how to draft in a pool allows you to really feel the benefits of drafting, as well as locating that perfect spot for your body to be in.

How to Do It:
1  .You'll need some friends to swim with, and you should try to partner with people who are about the same speed as you.
2.  We'll show some variations of hip-drafting techniques.  First, the chevron.  The lead swimmer is in the middle, and the drafters will be located on either side trying to stay at the hips of the lead swimmer.
3.  Next we'll try the wedge.  The lead swimmer will be on one side, with each swimmer lined up next to each other at the hips... each just a bit behind the other.
4.  Now try the line.  One swimmer directly behind the other swimmer, in a line.  Try to stay as close as you can to the swimmer in front, without hitting their feet.  It's good to stay close, but bad to make the swmimer in front of you mad.

How to Do It Really Well (the Fine Points):
Try passing to help incorporate more training into this practice.  Start with one swimmer at the hips, and then sweep out, and accelerate past the lead swimmer.  The swimmer being passed should then locate move in next to the passer, and draft off of them.

To practice race-day situaions, have all the swimmers leave at the same time in a cramped-lane challenge.  This simulated mass start can teach swimmers how to stay narrow and will get them used to these awkward and scary situations.

To build team bonding, have your entire team push off all at once...like these swimmers at the Upper Valley Aquatic Center.  It's enjoyable, and will have everyone in the group feeling like a part of the team

为什么：
学习如何体验技术在游泳池里，让您真正感受到体验的好处，以及定位，完美的现场为您的身体是必须

如何做到这一点：
1，你需要一些朋友一起游泳，你应该尝试是谁和你一样的速度与人合作。
2。我们将向髋部体验技术的一些变化。首先，人字形。带头游泳是在中间，位于体验人将于要么试图留在带头游泳臀部的。
3。下一步，我们将尝试在楔形。带头游泳将是一方，与每位运动员列队在臀部下彼此...只是有点落后于其他。
4。现在尝试就行了。一个直接落后于其他游泳，游泳在一条线上。尽量保持接近的游泳运动员在前面，你可以不打自己的脚。这是很好的贴近，但不好的是你疯了的游在其他游泳者的前面。

如何做到这一点非常好（细点）：
尝试通过帮助纳入到这种做法的培训。开始一个游泳运动员的臀部，然后体验，加速铅游泳过去的。正在通过游泳，然后应该定位在旁边路人的举动，他们起草。

练习比赛日情况，所有泳客都在同一时间在拥挤的泳道挑战。这种模拟的大规模启动，可以教游泳如何保持窄游，将让他们习惯这些尴尬和可怕的情况。

要建立团队的粘接，有您的整个团队蹬一下子像在上谷水上运动中心游泳......。它是令人愉快的，将有这样一个团队的一部分，在该组的感觉大家
