Be a Fish - Sam Humphries
Introduction
Although swimming has been part of the Olympics for decades, many people still learn the basics. Various moves and styles of swimming challenge the body, so some treat it as a great and enjoyable workout and hobby. For others, swimming is a way to express themselves freely since they feel free underwater. Plus, it's a great way for them to relax and get healthy. I don't even think learning to swim is optional. This is a MANDATORY skill everyone should know about!
In this book, you'll be taken on a journey into optimizing swimming strength and conditioning. You'll learn how to be strong and be conditioned in the many areas of the swimming arts. These exercises can complement your work in the pool and enhance your performance.
In Triathlon, you will always be limited as a triathlete unless you are a skilled swimmer. You can improve your swimming ability to the point where it significantly improves your overall performance in the sport.
Americans have been at the forefront of a worldwide fitness revolution for the last two decades due to a burgeoning national interest in better health, self-improvement, personal growth, and a desire to add more momentum to their lives. However, media coverage of the fitness craze, which appears to be focused on virtually all activities except swimming, suggests otherwise. Swimming rarely penetrates the television-controlled consciousness of the American public because it does not create a lucrative market for equipment and clothing for potential sponsors. What was an advantage for the individual swimmer now becomes a disadvantage for the sport. After all, swimmers are less visible than runners.
We begin with self-reflection on why you swim and how to prioritize and create an action plan to accomplish your goals.
What inspires you?
Coaches know that swimmers who participate in regular training are more likely to continue their involvement in the sport. People motivated to swim have an easier time getting into the pool, which means they are more likely to succeed. Often, swimmers use specific, repeatable test sets to monitor their progress in the pool.
Using these test sets or benchmark sets can help individuals set goals. Many variables can be tracked, including heart rate, split times on the pace clock, stroke lengths, and work-to-rest ratio. Scientists interested in swimming are captivated by fluid dynamics and the secrets of fast swimming. Swimming is an ever-evolving sport, and swimmers never stop improving their technique.
Take a swim class or watch a video of a top swimmer, and you'll never miss an opportunity to improve your swimming technique. Many enroll in an adult swim program or a Masters's swim program. Those who want to compete as master swimmers will have many options. When planning a training program for competitive swimmers, they should consult a coach to ensure their efforts sync with their competitions. Most master swimmers who combine regular training with a healthy diet lose weight because weight loss is about burning more calories than you consume. Many master swimmers spend their time in the pool relaxing after a long day at the office or caring for their families. They share a trait with competitive swimmers: they can put their worries aside as soon as they step into the water. Being fit and reaching your swimming goals increases your self-esteem and influences every aspect of your life, including how you relate to others and your career.
Structured swim workouts foster a unique camaraderie among the participants because they emphasize working as a team. The closest friendships are often formed while swimming for a long time. Swimming in a structured training group can bring together swimmers of all ages, abilities, and levels of commitment into a single cohesive unit as soon as practice begins. When you're in a group, you get what you want from the workout while having fun with your friends.
To achieve the goal
Putting a long-term dream and goal into an actionable timeline may seem impossible. Swimmers can more easily write their plans and concentrate on their vision if they gradually improve their skills. Many swimmers' success hinges on the technical aspects of their training, which are all too often ignored.
The basic conditioning stroke is the most popular for triathletes and many fitness swimmers. The backstroke, with a similar beat to the freestyle, follows next. Backstroke swimmers use a combination of freestyle and backstroke muscles, which creates a dynamic balance between the two strokes. Butterflies and breaststrokes share many characteristics and progressions with the backstroke.
According to most people, swimming is a necessary sport. Afterall majority of the earth is comprised of water.
