Swimming Technique Concepts: Freestyle Technique For Sprint and Distance (Part 1)
\n<\/span><\/h2>\n

By Rod Havriluk<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Many sources suggest that swimmers use a different freestyle technique for sprint and distance events.<\/p>\n

For example, a \u201cstraight-arm\u201d underwater motion is often promoted for sprinting, and a \u201cbent arm\u201d is frequently suggested for distance events. However, science (both physics and research) shows us that a swimmer can optimize performance in events of all distances by using the same arm motion with a different arm coordination.<\/p>\n

SIMILAR ARM MOTION FOR SPRINT AND DISTANCE<\/span>
\nTechnique differences between sprint and distance specialists were examined in two studies (McCabe, Psycharakis & Sanders, 2011; McCabe & Sanders, 2012). Elite male swimmers were tested swimming at sprint pace (about 1.8 meters per second) in the first study and at distance pace (about 1.5 meters per second) in the second study. The analysis included stroke rate and stroke length as well as numerous arm motion variables.<\/p>\n

The studies reported comparisons between the sprint and distance groups at both sprint and distance pace. The data from the studies also allowed for comparisons between sprint and distance pace for both sprint and distance swimmers. For all arm position variables, the differences were three centimeters or less. For all elbow angle variables, the differences were 10 degrees or less. The authors concluded that there was no reason for sprint and distance specialists to develop different techniques.<\/p>\n

SIMILAR PROPULSION PHASE FOR SPRINT AND DISTANCE<\/span>
\nWith an increase in swimming velocity from distance to sprint pace, both the sprint and distance specialists similarly and predictably increased their stroke rate and decreased their stroke length (Fig. 1). To increase stroke rate, swimmers change the time duration of the phases within the stroke cycle. A stroke cycle consists of propulsion (pull and push) and non-propulsion (entry and recovery) phases.<\/p>\n

\nOne month after we selected the Swimmers of the Millennium (to this point), we have picked the top 10 performances of the millennium\u2019s first 20 years. The swims that were selected were not just based on speed, but carried a certain level of significance or marked a defining moment in the sport.<\/p>\n

COACHING<\/p>\n

015<\/span> SELLING PROCESS TO SWIMMERS (Part 1)<\/strong><\/span>
\nby Michael J. Stott<\/strong>
\nIn 1993, Swedish cognitive psychologist Anders Ericsson wrote that greatness wasn\u2019t born, but grown. His ideas later formed the basis for the \u201c10,000-hour rule\u201d described in Malcolm Gladwell\u2019s book, \u201cOutliers\u201d (2008), which holds that it takes roughly 10,000 hours of practice to achieve mastery in a skill or field. Known by the term, \u201cprocess,\u201d to coaches, Swimming World details how they use that learning curve to improve the performance of their swimmers.<\/p>\n

\nDon Swartz, now at North Bay Aquatics, was Rick DeMont\u2019s coach at Marin Aquatic Club in the early 1970s when he set world records in the 400 and 1500 meter freestyle. The halcyon era was a time of mega yardage being done by the likes of DeMont and fellow Olympians Brian Goodell, Bobby Hackett and Australia\u2019s Steven Holland. When it came to designing tough sets, you could say that Swartz had a front row seat.<\/p>\n
