The order in which beginners learn to swim

1. Breaststroke-freestyle-backstroke-butterfly

2. freestyle-breaststroke-backstroke-butterfly

Among them: freestyle is the fastest. Breaststroke is best for exercise. In particular, it can shape beautiful leg and waist curves. The butterfly stroke is the most beautiful, like a mermaid. Backstroke is the most energy-saving and suitable for self-help. Hand-stroke to the back and "down" side. Palm down when paddling. Strive for maximum buoyancy and driving force. When the water comes out, the hand is in the shape of a "knife" (that is, the palm of the hand is opposite to the heart of the hand) to minimize the resistance. Legs-kick down and back. When retracted, the thighs and knees are open and the feet jump. (Think of frogs) Coordination-pushing water by hand and pedaling water alternately. Breathing-learning breaststroke, breathing is more difficult to master. Have to experience it several times. When the hand pushes the water downward, the body will float upwards. Take the time to let the head surface and take a breath. Beginners first learn hand posture in shoulder-deep water (the water is too shallow to feel). Lean forward when practicing. Learn to let your hands control the balance of your body. When you find the feeling, pedal your feet gently. You can try to float. At this time, you can try to cooperate with your hands and feet.

Frequently asked questions and answers:
1. Why do I always swim sideways in freestyle? It was straight, but after swimming for a while, it turned 90 degrees!
A: The posture is wrong and the force is not balanced. First, keep in mind that the goal is ahead. Second, when the hand enters the water, it should be in front of the chest, rowed to the chest, and then accelerated backwards to the side of the body to get out of the water. Seen from the side as an S-shaped curve. Third, the force should be balanced when the feet alternately pat down the water and push back the water. Fourth, when the head is swinging sideways to breathe, the direction of the hand entering the water should be kept in a straight line with the body. I think your hand may have changed direction when you swung your head, so you turned.

2, which brother gives a breathing skill? I always choke on water! ! !
A: The most difficult thing for beginners to master breaststroke is breathing.
Breathe out in the "O" shape in the water for three seconds. When your legs are holding water and your feet are close together, your hands should "press" the water to your chest. With these two forces, your head can naturally be lifted out of the water. Take a breath with your mouth immediately, for about a second. Remember, breaststroke breathes with your mouth, not your nose, so as not to choke water. ) at first, you may only be able to lift your head once or twice, and you are hardly in a hurry. But the posture is right, practice a few times more, and naturally you can cooperate with your hands and feet and breathe freely.

3. I am learning to swim recently, but why do I always turn around in the same place and find it difficult to move forward?
A: Moving forward mainly depends on the downward and backward pushing force of the feet. I think your legs only have the power to beat the water down, but not the power to push the water, so you can only move in place.

4. Do you use your hands and feet when swimming? Why can’t the body float?
A: The above two pictures show the hand-foot coordination posture of freestyle and breaststroke. Freestyle: Breathing, paddling and kicking 1: 2: 2 or 1: 2: 4. The second picture shows the breaststroke posture. From the picture, we can see that the human body is changing in a curved way. When swimming, when your feet are open, your hands are put together in a knife shape and stretched forward. At this time, your feet are hard and your hands are labor-saving. When the feet catch water backwards and recover it, the hands are separated to paddle downwards and backwards. At this time, the main force is the hand. So when you swim, you basically feel that your hands and feet alternate, not at the same time. Many beginners swim with their hands open and their feet open, and then their hands and feet are close together at the same time, which is wrong. It should be done alternately.
5. Is there any trick to holding your breath? It seems very uncomfortable to hold it for a long time.
Answer: When holding your breath, don’t inhale too much oxygen, which is about three-quarters of the maximum inspiratory capacity, and then breathe out when you can’t hold it any longer. When you breathe out, you breathe out a little, then hold it for a while, and then spit again. If you repeat this, you can hold it for a little longer.

A little advice:
Without a good teacher, it is very difficult to learn to fool around in the water alone. Therefore, it is very important to hire a good coach and master the methods.

How to learn to swim the fastest? What’s your experience?
Action structure and technical points
(1) The swimmer is in gliding posture, and his body is close to horizontal. About 80% of the head is submerged in the water, the face is slightly forward, the arms are extended, and the palm is facing the oblique outer side (2). The water catching action begins at about 7~9 inches underwater, and the hands are paddling sideways, and then the exhalation action begins.
(3) The arms have no obvious flexion, and they continue to row to the outside, and the exhalation continues to increase.
(4) When the swimmer’s head starts to move slightly upwards, the elbow joint starts to flex and the upper arm starts to rotate.
(5) When the arms reach the maximum width and the elbows bend about 110 degrees, the high elbow posture is obvious.
(6) Keep the head up, and when the mouth is out of the water, finally exhale. Hands begin to move inward to complete the final propulsion.
(7) When your arms are ready to go backwards, start inhaling, and don’t pull your elbows under the ribs. The knee joint begins to flex and the leg return movement begins.
(8) The mouth is closed, the inhalation is completed, the feet are brought to the buttocks, the elbow joint continues to extend, and the arms continue to move forward.
(9) Leg-returning action continues.
(10) The neck flexes and the head continues to tilt downward. Feet dorsiflexion, legs begin to move backwards, water pushing action, arms returning action.
(11) Push your feet back and start to come together. The swimmer then holds his breath until another stroke begins.
(12) Arms fully extended, hands slightly below the shoulder level, and legs kicking water nearly completed. When the swimmer completes the kick, he concentrates on keeping his body in a straight line. He will keep this gliding posture for a short time, and then when he feels the speed slow down, another arm stroke cycle begins.
