1. Preparation before swimming
We need to make some preparations before swimming. First of all, choose the right swimsuit and swimming cap to be more free in the water. Secondly, do simple warm-up exercises to make your body fully active and adapt to the underwater environment. Finally, we need to do breathing training to make breathing more comfortable and improve the efficiency of swimming.
2. Swimming posture and skills
In the process of swimming, correct posture and skills are very important. Here are some common swimming postures and techniques:
(1) freestyle position
Freestyle is the most common position in swimming. When swimming, we need to keep our body level, paddle alternately with our arms and make corresponding movements with our legs. When our head comes out of the water, we need to inhale quickly through our nose and mouth, and then put our head in the water to exhale. This can ensure that we can keep normal breathing during swimming.
(2) breaststroke posture
Breaststroke is a relatively simple posture. When swimming, we need to face the water, paddle up and down alternately with our arms and bounce our legs at the same time. When our heads are above the water, we need to exhale.
(3) Backstroke posture
Backstroke is a difficult posture to master, which requires us to have a certain swimming foundation. When swimming, you need to hold your head up, keep your body level, take turns paddling with your arms and push your legs to the ground. When our head comes out of the water, we need to inhale quickly through our mouth, and then put our head in the water to exhale.
3. Common swimming problems and solutions
In the process of swimming, we may encounter some common problems, such as poor breathing, hand and foot cramps, insomnia and so on. Here are some ways to solve these problems:
(1) Dyspnea
If we can't breathe well during swimming, we can try to adjust the breathing rhythm and slow down the breathing speed to make ourselves breathe more comfortably.
(2) hand and foot cramps
If we have cramps in our hands and feet while swimming, we can stop to do relaxation exercises or do simple treading activities in the water to relieve the symptoms.
(3) Insomnia
If we are prone to insomnia after swimming, we can try to do some relaxing activities after swimming, such as stretching or meditation, so as to relax ourselves and fall asleep better.
In a word, it is very important for us to learn swimming skills and methods, which can help us swim freely in the water, improve our physical fitness and make us healthier and happier. I hope everyone can take time out to practice swimming skills and enjoy swimming.
