"Tehnika za šprinteve" Zagreb November 5th, Saturday

Is there a secret to be a good sprinter? YES, There are 3 secrets TRAINING TRAINING TRAINING

Technique: What we need to train? 1. THE START 2. THE TURN 3. THE SWIMMING STYLE 4. THE WINNING POST

Stand up after the first whistle (never take position before “take your marks”)
When you year the “take your marks” order count until 2/3 before go down
When you ear the whistle fly off directly to the water. Get the water as sooner as you can. J ump directly to the water.
Do not be hasty to jump from the block, wait until the position of the monofin is the correct one
As soon as you get the water start kicking.
Always be in tension during the start position
THE START Some advices

Hands Position on the block

Body Position on the block

After jump Position OK Wrong

THE TURN
Approach the wall of the pool swimming as faster as you can. Do not slow your speed
Tuck your chin to your chest and roll your body into a ball, firm the abdominals to improve the turn. Use last kick to improve your turn speed.
Open your body halfway through your flip and extend your legs to push off against the wall. You must push legs only when your body is turned on a side, do not push belly up.
After push off start kicking immediately. First 2/3 kicks must be short and fast, then amplify gradually.

THE SWIMMING STYLE
Feel the water, and your body into it
Take care your monofin never get out of the water during your swimming (hold your head position higher if necessary)
Be as hydrodynamic as possible:
stretching your body trying to flat on the water
swim with a constant rate of kick strokes
imagine like you have to go into a tight hole located on water surface every time you give a kick and get into it
not undulate too much in swimming: go directly and straight
Never use short strokes (except after turn and start)
Help your legs with your abdominals (all your lower body must help)
Swim always at your 100%
Choose the right monofin according to your swimming style

THE WINNING POST
This is the most important part of the competition
Don’t stop until you got the wall
NEVER use a crawl post
Use your stronger arm to reach the wall as soon as possible:
at a distance of about 1 meter from the wall
broke your swimming position
push the arm in a half-crawl stroke (underwater stage)
stretch the other arm projecting forward the shoulder as much as possible until touching the wall

Advices
Always train at 100% of your possibilities
Always get concentrated for a few seconds before a test or a competition: think about what you’re going to do, view it in your mind.
Fix a goal (must be a time to reach, and every year must be lower)
Never be satisfied for more than two days, you can always achieve more ambitious goals
develop your potential as much as possible, reach your limits
Remember that the most difficult thing in sport is to be conscoius of your possibilities

See you into the water! Thank you Binfins @binfins_monofin @rikyg82 www.binfins.com
