My swimming coach is a child's coach. The young man is tall and thin, with a gentle voice and special patience. The first class, I knew it was breath-holding training, so I made preparations. I warmed up before I went into the water, and the coach also taught me the kick action of breaststroke (closing-turning-kicking-clamping). It should be noted that the calf should be closed, and the foot should be straight when closed, and the sole of the foot should be upward; When you turn around, your calves are slightly outward and your toes are hooked.
I practice kicking and get ready to go into the water. The coach told me to grab the railing in the water, try to open my mouth and take a deep breath, and slowly put my head into the water. When you hold your breath in the water, be careful that your nose and mouth can't inhale any more, or you will choke the water. If your mouth exhales slowly, you will spit out a lot of water bubbles and your whole body will sink. When I held my breath for the first time, my eyes were closed and I dared not open them. Hold the railing when holding your breath, straighten your legs, and the whole person will float on the water. The more relaxed you are, the better the effect will be. After trying to hold my breath several times, I relaxed a lot and opened my eyes. Seeing the blue bottom, my fear of water was eliminated by half.
The coach saw that I had adapted well, and the next step was to loosen the railing and float independently. The coach looked at me hesitantly and comforted me that it didn't matter. This is only the first class. Give it a try! I got up the courage, took a deep breath according to the coach's instruction, straightened my hands and feet, and floated. After a few seconds, I almost lost my footing and choked on the water. It turns out that when you stand up, you have to bend one leg and paddle at the same time. I tried to float a few more times and soon got the hang of it. It seems that swimming is not so scary, and I am more and more confident in myself.
The coach saw that I was holding my breath and floating, so he asked me to add leg movements. The first kick, the calf confiscated. I practice the movements of receiving, turning, pushing and clamping over and over again. Ah! My leg cramped because I tried too hard. With the coach here, I'm really relieved that any problems can be solved in time. He let me stretch my toes with my hand, which really relieved me a lot. Keep practicing, but don't try too hard. Floating and trampling can do several things in one breath, and it is getting easier and more skilled.
The coach asked me to try to increase my hand movements and paddle with my hands after kicking. The problem is that you can't breathe smoothly after rowing. We will continue to practice breathing next class. ...
