Posture:
Preparation: Stand on a horizontal surface, keep your body upright, and keep your feet shoulder-width apart. You can choose deep water or shallow water to practice.
Arms: Put your arms at your sides at shoulder height. Palm down, fingers together, and keep a certain distance from your body.
Legs: Legs are shoulder-width apart and knees are slightly bent. Toes should be outward and open to both sides to increase balance and stability.
Body: Keep your body relaxed and horizontal. Keep your neck and head in a natural posture. Don't twist or tighten your muscles.
Skills:
Breathing: When swimming, you can breathe at any time as needed. Raise your head slightly, turn to one side and keep your lips on the water, then take a deep breath. When you exhale into the water, turn your head back into the water and prepare for the next breath.
Leg action: the legs are slightly opened to the outside, and the water is pushed backwards to generate forward thrust. When you kick your leg backwards, use a little force on your toes to separate the water and push your body forward.
Arm movement: naturally move your arm forward, then open it to both sides to push the water away. When your arms are pulled forward from your sides, keep your palms flat to increase propulsion.
Rhythm: It is very important to keep a steady rhythm when swimming. Try to make the movements of arms and legs cooperate with each other and maintain a stable and coherent swimming movement.
Precautions:
Take a deep breath: When swimming, make sure to take a deep breath and keep a comfortable breathing rhythm. This helps to provide enough oxygen for muscles and increase swimming endurance.
Balance and posture: It is very important to maintain the balance and correct posture of the body. By keeping your body level and relaxing, you can better control the direction and speed of swimming.
Practice: Practice makes perfect. Through repeated practice and continuous improvement, you can improve your dog paddle swimming skills. Try to practice in different water depths to adapt to different water currents and swimming environments.
