Swimming - How to develop feel for the water שחייה

[Gynecologist]

I have a strange urge to go play Contra on my SuperNintendo

[GHRepresent]

could one incorporate this with a faster kicking rhythm competition style speeds

[swimpal1]

awesome video ! the varying the feel from closed fist to complete open palm... is a novel approach...

fine work Gadi !

Thanks :-)

You're welcome! 2BK should save you a lot of energy during a tri race - imagine being able to step out of the water with "fresh" legs for the bike and run legs...

[TotalImmersionIsrael]

2BK saves energy especially in long distance open water swims. Unless you have very flexible ankles, your kick is non proposing. Thus, you can kick with a 2BK and use the kick to help you rotate from side to side. Search after the Women 400 Free final at Athens 2004 and watch Lore Manadou wins the Gold with an amazing 2BK!

Thanks, I haven't been able to be consistant with anything but a 2BK, and I really haven't seen a reason to do anything else as I have been doing my training focusing on triathlon swimming distances. Thanks for the response!

[SlicksterSAS]

Is there an advantage to a two-beat kick? Is it being used as a training tool only?
