While certain weeks may be more appropriate for specific levels of swimming (club, high school, college, or masters), each tip is meant to be flexible for your needs and inclusive for all levels of swimming.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This week\u2019s tip explains the benefits of mid-pool sprints from a dead stop. This training technique is an excellent way to develop body awareness, breath control, and power in your swimmers, and is a fun way to incorporate a different style of sprint training. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Swimmers should start somewhere in the middle of the lane, away from the wall, sculling in a prone position on the surface of the water. After 5 seconds of sculling in place, they should drop their heads and start an all-out sprint for anywhere from 2 or 3 cycles to the entire rest of the length.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The focus should be on total body control and getting up to full speed as fast as possible. Obviously, the lack of a wall makes this more difficult, which means swimmers need to focus on driving power from their legs, getting quickly up to sprint stroke tempo, and engaging their core to keep their stroke connected as they accelerate through the water. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A common mistake with this exercise is to grab a breath on the first stroke or breaking body position (by diving or undulating) to generate some acceleration. Encourage your swimmers to start from a prone position and work to figure out how to accelerate from there. When done repeatedly, this will teach athletes how to get to top speed quickly and have a better awareness of how to use their body to hold onto their speed. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is a particularly effective practice strategy to mix up long course sprint training, giving you a way to incorporate shorter, high-intensity sprints. Adding some combination of snorkels, fins, paddles, or even resistance (parachutes, drag socks, etc.) are all ways to use the technique to develop power and challenge an athlete\u2019s notions of how to generate acceleration. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All swimming and dryland training and instruction should be performed under the supervision of a qualified coach or instructor, and in circumstances that ensure the safety of participants.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to the \u201cFINIS Tip of the Week.\u201d Swimming World will be bringing you a topic that we\u2019ll explore with drills and concepts for you to implement with your team<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":58,"featured_media":369020,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"dois","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[56100],"tags":[66329,63787,82884,55087,55088,28040,67288],"class_list":["post-369019","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-drill-of-the-week","tag-finis-tip-of-the-week","tag-finis-press-release","tag-mid-pool-sprints","tag-sprint-swimming","tag-sprint-training","tag-swim-technique","tag-tip-of-the-week"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.3 (Yoast SEO v24.3) -
