As a physical therapist I have discovered that swimming is one of the best ways to cross train as a runner. It counters all of the forward postures, stretches out the muscles and strenghens your back and core.
Want to become a swimmer? Give me a shout and I will assess your stroke and give guidance.
Previous swimmer or just wanting to figure it out on your own? Try these drills. Have fun, laugh at yourself and know that I'm only an email a way!
all drills are from the book Total Immersion (I highly recommend you buy this book if you are interested in swimming regularly)
try and incorporate each drill into the next. There is a progression!
50 yd warm up (50= 2 lengths of the pool)
50 look down- bury your head-let water flow
over your head
50 swim wide (think of a Y)
50 fingertip drag
50 pull with right hand when left is by ear
50 pierce the water-make a hole in the water
and slip hand through it then glide/reach
50 breathe every 3rd stroke
50 breathing- only 1 eye out of the water
50 glide..be long - reach - feel your lats
50 count your strokes per 25- aim for < 20
50 gentle kick - don't disturb the water
50 swim quietly - don't make a sound
50 easy - think of drills above
50 fast (notice your time) look at clock
50 easy cool down
