This is the most valued book in the "Teach Yourself To Swim" series because most children stop taking lessons before they master their rhythmical breathing so they can swim continuously with less effort.

But now for the first time a system is revealed so you can easily teach yourself how to be more efficient and master your breathing. Of the average ten unintentional drowning deaths each day eight are adults, but the two children get all the publicity.

It's not your fault you may not have learned to master your breathing to swim farther and conserve your energy to avoid panic.

Book excerpt: Teach Yourself Or Your Child To Swim At Home Without A Pool is designed to help parents and grandparents and adults who never learned how to swim well more water safety and swimming skills. In rural and low income urban and suburban areas where there is no pool or quality instructors, this book shows how you can easily start learning how to swim at home without a pool. A kitchen sink, dressing mirror, mattress, and a bathtub are used to overcome fears and anxiety to become familiar with all the necessary swimming skills. Then you can easily transfer those same skills to the shallow end of a lake or pool where you can stand up wearing goggles to see the bottom and your arm strokes. Most parents spend time teaching their kids backyard sports skills they transfer to the playing field or court. This is no different and another way for parents to get more out of swim lessons.

Download or read book Teach Yourself to Swim written by Pete Andersen and published by . This book was released on 2014-10 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This very affordable 94 page book uses a system of easy-to-master one-minute steps to teach you how to swim backstroke safely and efficiently with longer lasting results. It's assumed you already know how to swim freestyle on your stomach and can float in a glide from a push off a wall or bottom. The value of learning to swim backstroke is so that in an emergency you are comfortable rolling over to your back to float and regain your breath. Early exhaustion leads to panic but knowing how to roll over and float can save your life and is a valuable skill to learn and know how to do. A similar sequence of skills is put in place like you learned for freestyle. You start out floating and how to do a back glide pushing off the pool wall in shallow water to a stand up position. Then the sequence follows what you did learning to swim freestyle. You go from a back glide with good body position to adding your bucket kick, and then alternate arm strokes. Breathing is less of a problem to overcome as your face is continuously out of water, but there are still important skills to learn about arm recovery and body rotation to gain more efficient power.
Download or read book Swim Speed Secrets for Swimmers and Triathletes written by Sheila Taormina and published by VeloPress. This book was released on 2012-05-01 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Swim Speed Secrets, 4-time Olympian, gold medalist, and triathlon world champion Sheila Taormina reveals the swim technique used by the world’s fastest swimmers. Over the course of 4 Olympic Games and throughout her career as a world champion triathlete, Taormina refined her exceptional technique as a student of the sport, studying the world’s best swimmers using underwater photographs and video analysis. From Johnny Weissmuller to Michael Phelps, the world’s fastest swimmers share two common elements: high stroke rate and a high-elbow underwater pull. Many swimmers and triathletes neglect the underwater pull, distracted by stroke count or perfecting less critical details like body position, streamlining, and roll. Swim Speed Secrets focuses on producing power—the most crucial element of swimming—to help triathletes and swimmers overhaul their swim stroke and find the speed that’s been eluding them. With a commonsense approach that comes from decades of practice and years of hands-on coaching experience, Taormina shows swimmers how to transition to faster swimming. Swim Speed Secrets includes: The best drills to cultivate a more sensitive feel for the water Dryland and strength building exercises to develop arm position and upper body musculature Crisp photos of Olympic swimmers and variations in their high-elbow underwater pull Clear descriptions of the key moments of the underwater pull Tips that helped her perform at a world-class level for two decades Sheila Taormina’s Swim Speed Secrets brings the focus back where it belongs—to a powerful underwater stroke. With this approach, triathletes and swimmers can stop swimming for survival and break through to new levels of speed and confidence in the water.
