The leisurely life of rebirth

Chapter 17 Freestyle Lesson
I cycled around and came to the optical shop on campus: "Boss, are your swimming goggles ready?"

"Okay, try it on. The prescription is 500, which is smaller than the actual eye prescription." The boss said while handing him the glasses.

The boss's surname is Zhao, a native of Wenzhou. He originally worked for his uncle. Later, when his uncle retired, he worked in this store. It's not easy to open a shop in school. Only after you get familiar with it do you realize that the relationship is in logistics. , it is well maintained every year.

With such a large customer base of students, the main focus is cost-effectiveness.Usually one or two hundred can get you a good pair of glasses.

Last time I was traveling around, I went to buy swimming goggles and bought myself a new pair of glasses. They were top-notch ones in all stores and cost less than 800 yuan. This price is probably enough for a Tyrannosaurus Rex spectacle frame.

There are no swimming goggles in the store, but the boss can help you make one. After all, Wenzhou people are so united. Basically, relatives bring relatives, and fellow villagers bring fellow villagers. The circle is very large, and you don’t have to travel to other places to buy them.

Zhou You is self-taught in breaststroke and freestyle. Now Bilibili has just emerged. In the past, he learned from Swimming DreamWorks. Later, the website closed down and Bilibili emerged again. There are various learning videos in it, which Zhouyou likes very much.

Learn freestyle from Meng Jueyun. In his words: If you haven’t practiced it before, it means you haven’t learned it yet.

Swimming is a process of continuous practice.

Swimming is a good exercise. It can exercise the whole body, relieve stress and treat the cervical spine. It can be said to be the least harmful exercise to the body.

The afternoon sun burst, and the ray of light that came out from the shade of the trees made me want to heat myself to death. I packed a full set of equipment, prepared some chocolate and mineral water, and went to the swimming pool happily. In the past life and this life, I learned to swim for the first time. Coaching is also a novel manifestation.

Changing into swimming trunks, taking a shower, and soaking feet, all the moves were done smoothly, and I am not a novice at swimming.

In the middle of the crowd, I found the swarthy Coach Wang at a glance. I saw a girl next to me, and I thought this is not bad. It is better than two men studying together. The men and women work together, so the work is not tiring.

"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Wang Ping. I used to be on the provincial swimming team. My best result was No. 100 in the 2-meter free swim at the Youth Games." Coach Wang took the lead in making the opening remarks. "The bishop's swimming is also freestyle this time. You two have a certain foundation. You two will swim first and I will make an evaluation."

Zhou You also gave a brief introduction.The girl's surname is Qian, her name is Qian Li. She is wearing a white and floral one-piece swimsuit with swimming goggles and a cap. Her appearance is not clear, but she can only see her heart.

After the coach finished making arrangements, the two of them started freestyle swimming.Since there are many people in the swimming pool, let one of them finish swimming while the other swims and watch the action.

Traveling around, as a boy, I did my duty and started practicing first.Standing along the swimming wall, I started to kick my legs. After gliding for a short distance, I alternately jumped forward with my hands and swung my legs down hard. Just like a small electric motor, it made a splash and a big splash.

Fortunately, this swimming pool is 25 meters long, otherwise I wouldn’t necessarily have the strength to swim all the way around.

Qian Li might as well swim around. She held her breath and swam forward, her hands pulling forward like an octopus, her legs still in the breaststroke position, and she stopped after swimming for a few meters.

Seeing their swimming status, Coach Wang knew what was going on.

Let me just say a few words: You both have a certain foundation, and swimming is a little better. Qian Li probably has never swum freestyle before, so she is relatively new to it, but it doesn’t matter.

If you want to learn freestyle well, remember one sentence: relax and relax your whole body.

First of all, you can all swim breaststroke, so there is no need to worry about drowning.

Secondly, you all have very good physical fitness. Swimming is also a sport and requires a certain amount of physical fitness.

In the end, I was a very good coach and all the students I taught learned it.As I listened to the lecture, I felt that this coach was very knowledgeable and controlled the students' psychology very well. He not only eliminated the fear of learning to swim, but also gave the students strong confidence. In the end, he boasted about himself and was not offensive.

Let me teach you the freestyle formula first
Freestyle tips:

[-]. Body: Lie down in the water with your body steady, cross your arms and paddle in turns, beat your legs up and down like a whip, breathe slowly and quickly and paddle forward.

[-]. Arms: Move the arms to relax, thrust the shoulders forward, align the palms of the forearms with the water, accelerate along the midline, and alternate rows with both arms.

[-]. Legs: Use your thighs to bring your calves, and alternate legs to draw water.

[-]. Breathe: Exhale slowly with your head in the water, turn your head and open your mouth and inhale quickly.

These are a few mantras to keep in mind, and the rest are some practice questions.The most important thing for a sect is the mental formulas and inner skills.

You two must think, is this too simple? Let me tell you: one sentence of truth is preached, and tens of thousands of books are falsely preached.Coach Wang joked with them while teaching to liven up the atmosphere.

Zhou You asked the question he had always wanted to ask, "Coach, why can't I swim far or long? After a while, I feel that there is insufficient oxygen, and my breathing cannot keep up with the rhythm."

"You've got the point right. This is what I'm going to talk about right away. You both know breaststroke. To be honest, it might be a little more difficult than learning freestyle directly, because the main thing is that your breathing methods are different. "The coach paused and continued.

"Breaststroke involves raising your head to breathe. Generally, you swim at a slow breaststroke speed, so you have enough time to inhale and exhale."

"Freestyle swimming involves breathing sideways. You need to breathe while swimming, and ensure that the body does not deform, does not disrupt the rhythm, and the breathing gap is relatively short."

"The biggest problem with your freestyle swimming is that your breathing rhythm is not good. You don't breathe fully, which causes more carbon dioxide in your body to accumulate, and the oxygen can't keep up. In the end, you have to stop to breathe."

"Is there any good solution?" Zhou You asked.

"Of course, this is also the purpose of you looking for a coach, and it is also my role."

"When you freestyle, your whole body is obviously tense, and it is not as natural as breaststroke. Obviously you have been worried about falling, and the most important thing is that your core strength is not enough."

"This cannot be changed overnight. It only means that your body is now in a sub-healthy state and needs to be exercised and adjusted. Long-term swimming is the best choice."

Let’s start today’s first lesson
When kicking with a plank, the goal is just to float the lower body. The speed of advancement is not that important.The key point to note is that your legs are basically straight, your knees are only slightly bent, your ankles are slightly relaxed, and you can feel the feeling of the instep pushing water down and behind you.

Kick kicks are also commonly known as whip kicks. Think of your thighs as a whip. Every time I kick kicks while swimming, I think of your feet whipping out and whipping the water.

Today’s first practice begins with the 1-meter kick kick.

The swimming pool started to make a slapping sound.
