Swimming Styles

    Today I will speak of two styles of swimming, Crawl and Breaststroke.

    The style Crawl / Free style is considered the fastest and is used in free events, and is mainly one of the best techniques for beginners.

    It exiges a highly movement coordination.

    Arms get in and out of the water alternating while legs make vertical movements: they stay stretch on ascending and slightly curved descending

 Breathing:

    Is usually done every two strokes, breathing always to the same side. If it is done every three strokes, breathing is done alternately.

    The style Breaststroke is considered the slower style, as have a little kick that creates momentum for the swimmer, with its main form of stroke progression, not for beginners only and should practice only after a little practice in swimming.

When lateral outside action occurs, legs are in recovering to get prepared to another movement.

    After that, the upper limbs, there is the descending action, in which the arms are boosting the water in order to advance the water, while the limb begins to move up the legs in order to push after the water. Third, the arms are already without making impulse as that is when the legs push the water in order to give strength to the athlete to move the water. In the end, the arms take over the position of the first phase of the arms while the legs perform a slide.

 Breathing:

    It follows after each stroke, and ends up being the time when the athlete recovers the initial position to start a new movement.

So, each breath, the athlete puts his arms stretched out "ahead" of the head, so you can make one more stroke.

    It's all for now!'till next post! ;)
 

Benefits of Swimming !

Anyone, regardless of age, sex or profession, you can swim without problems since the water is a very beneficial for the body, relaxing, without any aggressive. Besides that, swimming reduces the risk of cardiac complications. Stroke after stroke, heart begins to get stronger and loses some fat that surrounds it resulting on a more efficient pump of blood to the rest of the body, reduces the cardiac frequency and stimulates blood circulating blood, improves the respiratory system and strengthens the joints.
Swimming causes the muscles increase in size and better protect tendons and ligaments, in addition to exercising all the joints and enhance its flexibility. Increases self-esteem, athletes feel more independent and secure. In the case of swimming, these benefits are compounded by the fact that the water permit freedom of movement that the work does not provide dry. Reduces the pain and risk of injury and slow the effects of aging, both physically and psychologically. Several studies confirm that a person of 65 years doing exercise regularly have a greater physical capacity and vital than one of 45 years that does not make any sporting activity.
