Backstroke Spin Drill is one of the most FUN drills in swimming because it lets you do all the things you’re not supposed to do, and lets you do them in a BIG way. No splash? You want to be covered in spray when you do this drill. Stay hidden and balanced?Fugettaboutit.Look up?Rotate your hips?Soft, clean hand entry?No way!No time!
仰泳的转臂训练是一项非常有趣的游泳训练,用夸张的方法做你根本不会想到的事情。没有水花?训练时你必然周身都是水花。藏于水下保持平衡?才不是这样。向上看?转臀部?轻柔利落的手部入水?非也!非也!
In Backstroke Spin Drill, the key words are aggressive…fast…and quick. You want to move your arms through the recovery phase as fast as you can, and send your hands IMMEDIATELY into the catch.
仰泳转臂训练的关键词是“强烈”、“快速”、“敏捷”。双臂必须以最快速度复原,双手“立刻”开始抓水。
Why would you want to ignore all the rules? They’re good rules, of course, but sometimes you have to shake things up a bit to add a new dimension to your stroke. In backstroke, sometimes we spend too much time thinking about a soft, clean, and smooth hand entry. This is an OK thing to think about, but it can lead to a slow recovery, slow rotation, and over-reaching. The tendency is to let the hand “sit” on the surface of the water, when what you need to do is drive it THROUGH the surface and into the catch. Think of a golf or baseball swing. Would you stop your arms, or pause the rotation of your body, just before you hit the ball? No. You’d send everything THROUGH the movement until WAY after the ball has been struck. Letting the hand hesitate on the water in backstroke is the same as slowing your baseball swing to hit the ball.
为何要抛开所有仰泳标准?尽管仰泳标准很不错,但有时你得放手寻求游泳的全新领域。对于仰泳,有时我们过多地追求轻柔、利落和流畅的手部入水。追求这些并无不妥,不过可能会导致复原动作慢,转体慢,或伸臂过度。结果手位于水面上,而不是“入”水后抓水。联想一下高尔夫或棒球的击球动作,在即将击中球那一瞬间,双臂或转身动作会否停顿?当然不会。你必须一气呵成,把球击出。仰泳中手在水面停顿,就好比棒球击球时减力。 |
