Last night was exactly that! I got together with my swimming client at the Olney Swim Center for our first Sport Specific Swimming Session! My client is doing a few triathlons this year... including the Eagleman 70.3 Triathlon in June in Cambridge Maryland! She's actually a good swimmer despite what she thinks! I had her first hop in the pool and I taped her swimming up and down the lane so I could get a good glance at where she is with her swimming!
After taping her I hopped in and started from the beginnings and basics of swimming... starting with streamline and what it is! The areas we covered in what was a quick hour session included...
Gliding without kicking in Streamline Position
Gliding with kicking in Streamline Position
Kicking with the Kickboard with your Face in the Water
Kicking with the Kickboard with your Face in the Water while Breathing to the Side
Starting to learn about how rotation fits in to swimming Freestyle... Worked a bit on the actual Rotation of the Body
The coolest thing though about it all... is I gained confidence in myself as a coach and my client gained confidence as a swimmer last night! It's such a REWARDING feeling and I can't wait to continue with my client as she gets ready for the season!
