水中攀岩练习---全浸教练 Louis Tharp

This doesn't work for everybody. It has a high frustration quotient. Not as high as understanding quadratic equations, but similar in that there are two unknowns:

这个练习并不适合所有人。有很高的失败率。虽然没有理解二次方程的失败率高，但是有以下未知因素：

1. Whether a person can transfer the benefits of the drill to propulsion in the swim.

2. How much water you'll suck in trying to breathe while doing the drill. (Hint: go into breast stroke.)

3. Whether you'll ever figure out how to achieve forward motion by pressing your chest in the water.


1、你能否把这个练习的收获转换为游泳时的推进力
2、在做练习的时候你要呼吸时会喝下多少水（提示：变成蛙泳）
3、你能否搞清楚如何按压胸部来获得向前的运动

Ok, three unknowns, but solving for aX+bY+cZ = d is too much to ask for in a swim drill metaphor.

It's called stone skipper, and the fact is, stone skipper is your friend as long as you resolve to not go too fast, not use your feet to kick, stretch your arms and keep them at the top of the water even if it does wear you out, and stop to breathe.

三个未知因素，好比解三元方程，对一个游泳练习的比喻来说好像太过分了

这个练习叫攀岩，实际上如果你不追求速度，不想打腿，不想让手臂入水后在水面附近让你感到疲劳的话，这个练习就是你的好朋友。

Here's what stone skipper does: If you can learn the drill, you will be using your core body for propulsion by pressing on your chest and allowing the resulting reaction to raise your hips. You'll create this press by stretching your arms in front of you as far as possible. This action creates chest pressure on the water.

这是这个练习的目的：如果你能学会，那么可以靠按压你的胸部来用你的身体核心来提供推力，你的髋部也会抬高。靠伸展前方的手臂来产生这种按压。这个动作产生胸部和水之间的压力。

All you have to do is let your feet follow behind.

To transfer this to freestyle you'll want to stretch to provide the downward force on your downward side and then allow this to engage your hips just as you are in the middle of your stroke with the other hand. Yea. It's hard to describe and difficult to learn.

你所要做的就是让你的腿跟在后面。
把这个转换到自由泳，你可以靠伸展给低位的一侧提供向下的力，然后划水到一半的时候让髋部参与进来。这很难描述也很难学。

But if incorporating core body/hips into your stroke for significant propulsion gains were easy, you wouldn't see 80 pecent of triathletes dragging their hips behind them like so many U-Hauls behind Audis leaving Southern California in 2008.

但是如果你能够把身体核心/髋部用到你的游泳里的话，你就可以轻易地获得巨大的推力，你就不会看到80%的铁三运动员拖着他们的髋部，好像用奥迪来拖拖车一样。
