Whether a swimmer is swimming efficiently and using minimal energy is largely determined by technique. It is therefore crucial that the following aspects are mastered:
- The four swimming strokes,
- Starts,
- Turns,
- Underwater phases, and
- Finishes.
Ensuring proficiency in these areas is the primary task of a Trainer 2. While you can learn a lot from examples and explanations on YouTube, videos of your own swimmers will show you where you, as a coach, should focus your efforts. Effective exercises and appropriate instructions that resonate well with the swimmers are essential. This activity focuses on teaching the basics of technique effectively.
