Elite Mexican Triathlete Arturo Garza demonstrates some “Power Chain” perception drill (48.40) from the Pose Method of Triathlon Techniques book which will help you refine your swimming stroke. Any flaw in your “Power Chain” will be exposed with the use of elastic tubes. You will feel the floating support of the water and develop an awareness of the proper body position. If you drop your elbows and lose the connection from the hand, through the elbow to the shoulders, you will feel your body begin to sink as your power development and support decrease.

Popular wisdom is that running and landing on the heel will actually reduce injuries. My personal experience has been to the contrary and this running model (Pose Running) has helped us create a model that we think will produce a more injury resistant athlete. A more injury resistant athlete is able to then train more effectively, train at higher volumes, and thats of benefit to us. A second element of the model that is extremely important is the athlete is able to have a more relaxed stride, because they are not attempting to force an increase in stride length by pushing very hard, lifting the knees high; they are able to reach a level of relaxation, that I as a coach know is one of the most critical elements of elite performance. Once an athlete achieves a higher amount of relaxation, the amount of work necessary to go at a given speed is reduced, we see that in all the things we measure: heart rate, lactate, etc. This model, in simplifying running and in being very succinct, enables an athlete to come to that point much quicker than is typically the case. Typically that relaxation comes only through a lot of years of running, and this is a way to get there much sooner.

Anybody can learn to swim better. First step? Drills. Dryland drills to be precise. Dry land is our natural habitat and this is where we can comfortably learn one of the most important things in movement of human body – perception of body weight. It is as important in swimming as in running and other sports.
Why do we need to learn the perception of our body weight (not to be confused with body mass)? Because in the gravity controlled environment like ours, movement is nothing but change of support. And he who can change support better than others will move the quickest and with more efficiency to it. (To learn more read the Pose Method of Triathlon Techniques)
In swimming the perception of bodyweight must be on your hands. In running it is your legs that carry you, in swimming it is your hands that do the carrying of your body through the water. By learning to feel or to perceive your body weight on your hands, you will improve your swimming technique and consequently the speed.
Do the “dryland swimming drills” ( Pose Triathlon Techniques book, page 288-290.). While developing your perception, with those drills you will also be simultaneously working on your strength development much needed in swimming. For Dr. Romanov’s sample training session for swimmers click here.
Just as in running, we use specific movement pattern exercises to expand the scope of your perception and develop the ability to execute correct movement in the water for efficient and faster swimming.
