Excellent sculling action is the bottom line of swimming technique and speed.

Previously, I wrote an article on competitive wave frog, which received a lot of likes, and at the same time, many friends left feedback: I worked hard, but my upper body still couldn't lift out of the water, let alone the subsequent 'wave' forward sprint.

To enable the body to smoothly surface, the arm sculling action is very important. The inner sculling must have power and effectiveness.

Having a good angle with the water can easily allow you to lift your shoulders out of the water, while power helps you complete this action more quickly.Frog swimming sculling underwater perspective

Even if you don't learn wave frog, free frog also needs excellent sculling action, because sculling is one of the three actions that generate propulsion in frog swimming.

Previously, the 'Staying Home to Practice Swimming' series, we talked about the resistance training part of freestyle swimming through resistance band training. Through on-the-spot resistance band training, we can improve arm technique and strength.

Today we continue to talk about frog swimming resistance band training to help everyone improve frog swimming sculling ability.

Improve sculling efficiency, resistance band is a secret weapon.

Frog swimming resistance band training is divided into two parts: technique and strength. Let's first talk about the strength part.

Strength part

Frog swimming resistance band strength training, we can call it flat frog resistance band practice, what is flat frog resistance band?

First, stand at a suitable distance, the resistance band is straight, the body leans forward, the arms are extended, and then

The body remains stable, and the arms start to perform frog sculling action.Frog swimming resistance band strength trainingDuring the resistance process, pay attention to splitting the water after

High elbow embrace, and the subsequent inner sculling should clamp the elbow, and finally extend forward.

Every action must have, and try to do it well.The body is stable, just practicing your arm strength alone,

Requires stability and speed

◆30 reps per set, 4-6 sets, or timed, 1 minute per set, 4-6 sets. When resting, be sure to relax your arm muscles.Technique part

Let's talk about the frog swimming resistance band technique training. We can call it wave frog resistance band practice.

The body position is the same as the strength training, but during the resistance, the upper body follows the arm movement with some sway.

Every inner scull raises the body with the arm movement, and the arm extends forward, the body leans forward like a frog.

Pay attention to the high elbow embrace during the resistance band.

◆30 reps per set, 4-6 sets.

Frog swimming resistance band practice, whether it's strength or technique, the focus is the same high elbow embrace and inner sculling.

Assisted training for wave frog

Many people have asked me before, how to better transition from flat frog to learning wave frog?

Most people who are new to wave frog will be troubled by the fact that their bodies can't lift up, and it's difficult to find the rhythm of wave frog.

Competitive wave frog

Frog swimming land resistance band technique training can effectively solve this problem for you.In the land resistance band, first find the feeling of pulling up and leaning forward, and then when you go into the water, you can better understand the action and rhythm.

Of course, this requires you to practice many times, not just one or two times.

Incorrect understanding leads to incorrect action

Many people have a misunderstanding of wave frog.

Many people's misunderstanding of wave frog is that they try to make their bodies lift out of the water to form 'wave' posture, and they try to lift their heads to pull their bodies out of the water. This is wrong.

Incorrect head 'wave'

The sway of wave frog pull-up and forward lean is not driven by the head, but the chest is the starting point, the chest rises, leans forward, and needs the core to help complete the action.

Core strength assists the completion of wave frog

Conclusion

The resistance band frog swimming training is all about these content, whether you want to improve frog swimming speed or quickly master wave frog technology, resistance band is worth practicing.
