Introducing Nose Clips<\/h3>\n

\u201cAll races are underwater,\u201d said Whitney Hite,<\/strong> head coach of the University of Wisconsin-Madison swim team.<\/p>\n

Underwaters are no longer just for sprinters and backstrokers. Each stroke and distance benefits from strong underwater breakouts, which invites a new emphasis on underwater techniques for coaches to explore. Hite is innovative in creating new ways to push the limits of his swimmers’ underwater abilities.<\/p>\n

Heavily influenced by the races and underwater techniques of swimmers at the NCAA Championship, Hite began to form ideas on how he could potentially improve his team\u2019s underwaters. Generally nose clips are an accessory for backstroke and IM swimmers, but Hite believes they can be a resource for swimmers of every type. As spring training began, Hite introduced a new method of training wherein the entire team uses nose clips.<\/p>\n

Nose Goes<\/h3>\n

The Badgers, like many other teams, are accustomed to an underwater focus and are required to complete eight underwater kicks off each wall in practice and at meets. While this practice has worked to build a great foundation for strong lungs and powerful turns,\u201cnot everyone was buying into it,\u201d according to Hite.<\/p>\n

Eight underwater kicks off each wall is an incredibly difficult task, especially for those in longer events. Nose clips, however made turns easier and created a smoother transition into long breakouts.<\/p>\n

Some of the swimmers admit they had never worn a nose clip before. Aware that it would be different, the coaches created a necessary adjustment period. Training with the new accessory has its difficulties. This includes the basic ability to be consistent in wearing it at practice and for long periods of time, as well as overcoming the discomfort of not being able to breathe through the nose.<\/p>\n

However embracing a challenge was nothing new for the Badgers.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe put our athletes in uncomfortable situations that they have to resolve,” assistant coach Daniel Schemmel<\/strong> said. “We like our athletes to be challenged and for them to be constructive problem solvers.”<\/p>\n

The team took resolving and overcoming in stride.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe took two or three days to ease into training, but then it started becoming natural to me as well as the others I train with,\u201d senior distance specialist Jenny Holtzen<\/strong> said.<\/p>\n

The distance group found the nose clip creates breath efficiency. Without the ability to breathe through the nose, the swimmers are able to focus on the oxygen intake through the mouth.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

However, the ease that the distance group had was not felt by all. Senior breaststroker Anna Meinholz<\/strong> felt that butterfly and breaststroke were the most challenging.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt first, it was super bizarre,” Meinholz said. “Butterfly and breaststroke were more challenging because you already hold your breath for a while with those strokes with pullouts and underwaters.”<\/p>\n

Despite the challenges, the team understands the importance of underwaters and Hite\u2019s creative thinking. With time and practice the value of the nose clip was seen by all.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt first I was not a huge fan of using it for breaststroke because I felt like it made it harder to breathe, but now I think it helps to control my breathing a lot and I can stay underwater longer on my pullouts,\u201d Meinholz said.<\/p>\n

Though the nose clips have not been a part of their training for an extended amount of time, technical improvements of the team\u2019s underwater kicking have been substantial. The positive feedback has created motivation for using them in races as well. The team will be required to wear the nose clips in their upcoming summer meets including the Arena Pro Series Meet taking place in Santa Clara.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt gives me more freedom underwater. I really can\u2019t imagine swimming without it at this point,\u201d Holtzen said.<\/p>\n

Want to try it out?<\/p>\n

Tips from the Coaches<\/h3>\n

1. Talk to your coaches before trying the nose clip in practice.
\n2. Have a plan and stick with it. It will be difficult at first, but perseverance is key.
\n3. Give it a try! We haven\u2019t seen any negative side effects, so you have nothing to lose!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
