[Sportsandrec] Swimming

[Ashley Bramlett]

Hi,

I have coordination issues too when I tried learning swimming. Your 
instructor should be able to show you how you  should position your hands. 
You can practice this forward movement in a stationery position in the pool 
with a noodle. Personally, I find it easier to doggy pedal too.
I cannot think of much advice but to just be shown the move and practice. I 
don't know if there is an underlying reason why your arms are not 
corporating; if not, I think you should be able to learn it.

Hi Everyone,

For a year or so, I have been trying to learn how to swim. While I have been 
able to learn how to float in water etc., the method that I adopt for 
traversing the water is still what they call doggie pedal. Basically, 
instead of moving my hands in a fluid way, such that I would be able to push 
the water backwards which is how freestyle works, the manner in which I 
operate is such that I put my hands in and bring them out. As a result, I 
end up taking much more time and energy to cover the water.

My trainer tells me to be more relaxed and to loosen up my body a bit, but I 
have not been able to effectively implement that advice. Further, this 
problem of my body being too tight often comes up even when I try doing such 
things as dancing or running. I am wondering if others can share pointers on 
how this can be addressed.

Best,
Rahulz
