The Streamline
Hello again Competitive and Intermediate swimmers! Today we'll be looking over the second fastest part of swimming besides the dive - the streamline. The streamline occurs right after the dive as well as after you push off of each wall in a race. The streamline helps you to be as hydrodynamic as possible so that you can slice through the water - much like an arrow slices through the air. I will be teaching you the basics of the streamline as well as tips to maximize your efficiency.
Congratulations! You have just learned the proper streamline position. If you are not used to it, you may need to keep working on it to get your arms behind your head; your flexibility might not be that advanced yet. If not, just keep practicing and eventually you will be able to do it with ease. This is how you should push off of every wall from now on!
Stay tuned for Lesson #3 where we will be discussing the infamous Flipturn!
