Why high swimmers. Classification of swimmers, their types and personal characteristics

You can grow thanks to regular classes in the pool, especially if the period of puberty has not completed and the growth zone has not closed. Can the swimming can help in an increase in the growth of themes, who has a growth peak already completed and the growth zone closed? In my opinion, yes, maybe.


The effect of gravity forces in water is limited, unlike sushi, where the effect of these forces is fully manifested, so the discs between the vertebrae, as well as the bones of the skeleton, will have a smaller load and can be easier to increase in length. Body joints will become more movable. Wide movements Hands and legs during swimming are able to improve their breathing and stretching of the body. From exercise Growth hormone level will increase. All this will affect human growth both with closed growth zones and open, only in the first case, the main increase will be due to the straightening of the spine and compressed tissues, and in the second, due to the elongation of bones.

What styles of swimming is better?

Many leadership and growth experts are called the most best style Swimming for growth - "Bronss". Completely, the swimming brewing works perfectly on our goal, but I would add "Krol" to him and swimming the "crawl on the back". In the complex, these swimming styles pull growth perfectly.


When you swim with a ramp on your back, straighten your hands behind your head and remove back to lengthen the torso. You need to keep your head and straight neck. During the crib on the chest, put your hands forward. When swimming, the movement of hands should stretch the back in both directions at a constant pace, and the movement of the legs is to add flexibility to the movement of the body. To be clearer, watch the video below.


Barbs:



Swimming with a crawl:



Swimming with a rumble on the back:



The best results are given regular classes A duration of at least 3-6 months, 3-5 times a week and at least an hour per day. Plus to this, it is important to use an 8-10-hour sleep and.


As a child, I have always slightly slightly, but in the end I corrected the situation when I was interested in an increase in the growth and first tried to perform, and then. Still, a small stiffness remained. When I started swimming, I noticed that my posture was leveled, my breathing became slow and deep. The chest became wider and more powerful, so I began to feel extra confidence.


From the point of view of the sports form, the benefits were obvious. My VO2MAX indicator that characterizes the body's ability to absorb and absorb oxygen air, after 6 months, swimming is 68 ml / kg / min. In an ordinary untranslated person, this figure is about 40-50 (not measured before the start of classes, but I suspect that I was like everyone else). I noticed that my torso acquired other outlines, the stomach squeezed, and my back muscles expanded and the body became a V-shaped form. I became a little slimmer neck, and my thoughts became clearer.


My growth was higher for a couple of centimeters. Among those my comrades who went to the pool with me, have become above all! We were 20-25 years old and many did not grow in the last 3-4 years. After several months of swimming classes, each grew by an average of 2-3 cm. I know a person who managed to run his height and increase the pool for more than 10 cm.




In fact, you need to go swimming, even if you do not set you the goal of growing, because of all ways to improve the body's tone, I believe better swimming there is nothing.

How to do in the pool?

So, the pool affects growth, helps and promotes human health. It remains to disassemble some working moments so that swimming classes brings you maximum benefit.


It is necessary to start training with a warm-up, then the main part that consists of a swimming "crawl on the back", "Brass", "crawling on the stomach" and then recovery. Focus on distance. The longer distance you can swim without rest, the better. It also matters intensity and speed. If you set a task of increasing growth, then preferably training with alternating a fast and slow pace than swimming in a constant slow pace. It was during the intensive work of the muscles that the production of growth hormone is enhanced. If you want to add a load, use weightlifiers.


Remember that intervertebral discs are squeezed and extended not immediately after entering the water. It may take several hours, but usually no more than 30 minutes of intensive swimming.


Well, in principle, and everything about swimming for growth! I think you understood everything! There is nothing complicated. We regularly go to the pool. We swim by breeding, rabble, on the back. We sleep well and eat. Get the desired result. We continue to swim in the pool to save good healthBut no longer so often intensively. Everything!


We are talking about. I hope you liked the article! Before connection!


Sincerely, Vadim Dmitriev

Since the creation of Swim Smooth in 2004, we are constantly talking about the need for an individual approach in swimming, about how important it is to take into account in the learning process, growth, experience, gender and even personal qualities of the swimmer. Many traditional curricula, on the contrary, belong to everyone equally, everyone must repeat the same exercises, keeping in mind the only true version of the technique. Such a single-sided approach has several serious flaws.

  • The perfect sample of technical performance may not correspond to the physical data of a particular swimmer, for example, its growth, strength, sex, natural buoyancy.
  • The initial data of a particular swimmer is fully ignored, in the learning process, its individual needs are not taken into account. As a result, his progress slows down or comes at all.
  • Kainven's growth is 160 while Andy's growth is 200 cm. Can their swimming technique be the same?
  • The place of specific competitions and the need to adapt technology to these conditions are not taken into account (swimming pool, outdoor water, swimming in or without it).
  • Our decision to divide the swimmers to certain types allows the use of an individual approach in learning.
  • The classification makes it possible to choose to which of the two exemplary styles strive, while only one of them will correspond to your physique and personal characteristics.
  • Having defined your type and by chalifting the path of self-development, you will quickly improve your skills.
  • The classification shows how particular styles are suitable for diverse places of competition, it can provide an advantage. The meaning consists not only in achieving maximum effectiveness: proper technique Facilitates load, makes swimming comfortable and bringing joy.

Since 2008, our classification has been used only by SWIM Smooth coaches. In 2010, the website www.swimtypes.com was launched, and now hundreds of our followers worldwide take into service this system.

How our classifier of swimmers was developed

The classification of swimmers is the brass of the floor of the news. He remembers well, which is based on this development and the history of its creation.

Paul News:

In the UK, where I grew up, there is a lot of swimming competitions, and I have always been very interested in the question: as a bodyplace of the swimmer affects its results in swimming with butterfly, a ram on his back, breast and freestyle. The highest swimmers with flexible hip joints Especially well sailed by Brass; High muscular athletes with powerful foot blows were good in the freestyle and sprint swims on the back; More autonous guys, flexible in the upper part of the body, wonderfully floated with butterfly. Since I myself was low in growth (compared to some of my rivals-giants), it was best for me to be a distance of 100 and 200 meters by butterfly, as well as swims for longer distances free-style. It seemed no matter how much I worked on speed, I can not achieve more in the sprint, but I walked perfectly from the side to the side, withsting the average speed. Unfortunately, for regular training and adjacent prizes are not given, one thing was appreciated in our business - to flow first.

I could not choose myself another growth or foot size. And I would be much easier if someone then suggested me that my genetic data can give me advantages in one of the styles or at a certain distance. Then, I, of course, would leave attempts to achieve supernatural velocity at 50 meters by freestyle, competing with rivals with an increase in 190 cm. In addition, the style and technique, approaching these guys, in my case were completely useless.

When I was junior, the coaches reported that my results do not look too convincing. Friends gave me the nickname "Villy Willy", hinting at the frequency and energy of my rigs. Unfortunately, in the late 1980s - early 1990s swimming on open water It was not yet a popular view, and young swimmers aged 10-11 years were not encouraged to float at a distance exceeding 400 meters. It remains only to regret that we did not know how the style and skills are based on swimming in different conditions And at different distances.

Unfortunately, I could not go to the international level as an athlete. But at the age of 16, I switched to the triathlon and, wounded on the open water, immediately felt like at home: the advantage in aerobic preparation and the rapid pace was affected. On the long distances With restless water, I felt much more confident than on 50- or 100-meters in the pool. While still junior and belonging to the age category under 23, in 1997-2001, I have already represented the UK in triathlon competitions. It is just a fantastic feeling - to know that you are one of the fastest swimmers. I was grateful to my coaches for knowledge and experience gained in swimming, and myself - for perseverance in sports, while many of my comrades "left on peace," being still teenagers.

I have never had a doubt about what to do after receiving a diploma at the University of Bata: I was going to become a swimming coach and triathlon, it was a desire to work first with adult athletes who have little experience in swimming. I wanted to help them increase the efficiency in the water at the expense of its knowledge in the field of biomechanics and video analysis skills. Everything turned out as it is impossible.

In 2002, I found myself in a sunny pep (while in the role of a regular tourist with long blond hair, with all his kind of resembling hippie). I was offered ... the position of the chief coach in the largest club in Triathlon in Western Australia. The Water Center at the Challenge Stadium was supposed to become my base, he had three 50 meter basin. Sports object Truly the incredible sizes! It worked around the clock the world's best equipment and, it seemed, the possibilities for my favorite video analysis and adjustment of technician athletes are simply endless. Then I started to work out my "video vibil", accumulating in the course of the case is invaluable practical experience. Despite the fact that the local guys were constantly fought over the fact that some "British" will teach them, Australians, swim, I began to work at once with a lot of swimmers. Some of them did only the first steps in the sport, others were winners in triathlon competitions and swimming on open water. When there is a happy opportunity from day day to work with hundreds of swimmers of different levels The preparedness, willy-noilies begin to notice certain patterns in their movements. I, being a person inquisitive, and also with an analytical warehouse of thinking, began to compare the main mistakes in the technique with the peculiarities of the physique, gender and experience of athletes. I wondered: is there any links between swimming efficiency and physical data? Do I do correctly, giving different instructions and tips depending on the type of swimmer, because sometimes they even contradict each other?

At that time it was believed that everyone needs to be leaning equally, "cut one comb", regardless of the peculiarities of physical addition and previous experience. One of the most important instructions was then a call to lengthen the beats as much as possible, as far as physically perhaps, reducing their frequency. It was believed that it enhances efficiency. But how to understand what it means to "lengthen" and "observe the correct number of rigs" if athletes differ in growth, the length of the hands? The cherished for swimmers and coaches was then considered the indicator of less than 40 rigs by 50 meters; In the end, Ian Torp, and Alexander Popov did less rowes than any of their rivals, and their work at the distance looked very graceful. The swimmers were constantly forced to perform endless complex swims in the pool, reducing the number of rowing on a given distance. Those who had the smallest of their number, praised, others, with the indicators above the average, "took it out", put the stigma "ineffective" on them, and no matter what speed they would show at regular competitions.

It seems that sitting on writing their textbooks, most of the coaches and theorists from swimming simply refused to notice that there are also swimmers in the world that succeed in distances exceeding 400 meters in the pool, in the pool and swimmers on open water. Take, for example, the world champion in swimming in open water, a multiple winner in the marathon swims of Shelly Taylor-Smith from Perth. In 1991, Shelley ranked first in the Marathon Swimming, and he went around not only all women, but also all men. In the same year, she won the gold championship gold at a distance of 25 kilometers on open water. In no other sports disciplines that require long-term exercise, women could not exceed men. But Shelley did it against all the traditions.

Shelly broke not only gender stereotypes, she broke and traditional swimming equipment! With a height of 165 centimeters Shelley, like most swimmers with such physical characteristicsCould not carry out less than 40 rigs 50 meters in the pool, its indicator was about 52 rigs. Shelly sought the speed due to the correct combination of the length and accelerated frequency of the rowing (about 90 rings per minute). For many, daring to work with such a high frequency of the rowing, it would mean a clear sentence: "ineffective." But one of the best swimmers for long distances came to the world, and its execution technique was just such. And the result: the cup behind the Cup at the largest competitions, the woman athlete is superior to the Male swimmers. Shelley developed and improved movement, optimal for it, just as they did olympic champions Janet Evans and Laura Manada, David Davis and Lott Freis (all of them were awarded medals at the Olympic Games). It was very exciting to meet with Shelley and watch her eyes as she swims. And the more I watched, the better understood that the traditional opinion about swimming erroneous: there is no one for all the way to become effective.

Swimming styles

While in the press and the Internet, everyone continued to firmly: "Long beans is always better," in practice I found that for some it really was so, but the other this Council struck terrible damage, because it did not meet their growth and power training. In pursuit of more long rowing These swimmers created as many problems as they solved. The term "Glisser" I put into appeal back in 2004, watching many swimmers that became maximized to lengthen their swings due to gliding (slip). They were all in order with the coordination of movements, with the position of the body in water, but they stopped in their development, trying to work out the maximum extended bellows. Having received a scientific education in the field of sports, I understood that it was necessary to conduct an appropriate study, to obtain an undeniable evidence of erroneous propaganda of elongated rowing, especially since examples of a critical attitude towards before the unshakable postulate began to come one by one.

Mentally returning to his own experience, I understood that for giants with an increase in 190 cm and powerful blows with a slip fits fine, because they can use legs to push themselves forward, but I personally did not have a high increase, Neither powerful blows. As the same characteristics were also different and most of them trained for speeches in open water competitions and in triathlone, where constant excitement and ripples arise on the surface of the water from the neighborhood with other swimmers. Understanding the need for different approaches to swimming in various people has become the main result of my reflection. To begin with, useful use of visual examples (as, for example, our animation "Mr. Smoz"), you should have the opportunity to adapt to the conditions in which you will swim, and also find the best style with your experience, physical training And even personal qualities.

One of my coaches at the university always said: " Swimming styles - It's like fingerprints, there are no two identical. " And, understanding that this is true, I began to compare what was seen and came to the conclusion that some repetitive mistakes and patterns in the movements add up to certain "types" of swimmers. More strong athletes with limited experience in swimming prevented the low position of the legs in the water. Other students could boast of good work of the legs and the wonderful position of the body, but they invariably turned out behind everyone when they used the destroyer. The swimmers with a more analytical mindset of the mind could explain in detail what and how they should do in water, but turned out to be completely incapable to embody it into life. I refer to one category - swimmers with extensive experiences who developed a complex "wrong" technology, unable to actively work legs (and at the same time they can swim sprint!).

It was obvious that swimmers should develop the skills and work on the technique in different ways. If it could be classified, split into certain types, to issue each individual recommendations for improving skills, they could work optimum frequency Rowing and technique that makes the most suitable for their physique. We would be able to escape from programs written under the carcake, triggered only on several wezzes. Working together with other coaches of Swim Smooth, sharing experiences and ideas, in 2007-2008 I finally formulated the principle of separation of swimmers for types. Two years before this information was posted on www.swimtypes.com, we tried out and improved the "Work on Error" system. I felt joyful excitement at the thought of the potential laid in our classification, but at the same time I understood that it still needs to be worked out, justify before it is to reveal.

I have worked out technical issues related to each type of swimmer, I became interested in the fact that all of them are inherent in their distinctive features of character. As a coach, for 15 years of work, I made sure that the mentor's ability to communicate and correctly give advice means for an athlete no less than the advice themselves. During these years, I met with a huge number of swimmers: Some of them were very direct people who wanted to receive direct answers to direct questions, without any accompanying hypocrisy, others were eager to hear scientific explanations, some did not want the coach to intervene in technical issues, but needed In maintaining their motivation, there are those that you need to encourage, in no case "intimidate" by technical terms. If you mentor, then our classifier will help you establish communication with other swimmers. When you know what you need to talk about when we talk and how to make the information to be understood by the interlocutor, - you have found the key to success on the coaching field. For me personally, this is the most interesting thing that I was able to learn from the development of my system.

In general, you have a peculiar result of thousands of hours of coaching work. We have made a lot of effort to adapt this system as much as possible, make it easy to understand and practical application. So that you can easier remember the necessary information, we resorted to animation, light humor. Just do not think that we have included them in text from carelessness. Just the opposite. Determine what type you feel, and find out how to work on the optimization of skills, and then you will start quickly progress, as if you were engaged in our Perth.

Adam Yang:

If you first hear about the separation of swimmers on types, you can doubt how much it is justified. I myself had a lot of questions when we started to think about this concept in 2007. Please do not be biased when you familiarize yourself with the description of each type. Check out information about each of them, check out the video clips on our website. I am absolutely sure that you will soon begin to recognize the types of swimmers by their technique and personal features.

After the publication of our system, we talked with many coaches around the world. They said that they themselves often thought about the separation of swimmers for types, but could not systematize their judgments. If you also reflect on this, then our separation of swimmers on personal types, as well as the presentation of the two ideal swimming styles should be very interesting for you. I hope that this classification will inspire you to new coaching ideas, give confidence in the fight against the training "under the copy", with which we all had to put up over the past 20 years.

O Shelley Taylor-Smith

Physical data and technique of execution of Shelley were as if specifically designed for perfect swimming On open water. I compared it from Ferrari: Created for high speed on long distances. Shelly could hold the steady speed of 40-45 cycles per minute (80-90 g / min) in all sorts of conditions: both on the waves and on the smooth water, with different temperature indicators.

The best of all Shelley is characterized by the following story: Once, when she was under 40 (she still remained a world leader in swimming on open water), Shelley came to me and stated that sometimes she would like to change his body (in particular, wide shoulders) to look more feminine. I replied: "This body is the body of the winner of the world championships, in retirement you can do everything you think about, but now nothing needs to be changed in this perfectly wellchal mechanism!"

Stephen Munatons, the founder of the site www.openwaterswimming.com and former coach The US national team for swimming in open water noticed: "The victories of Shelly Taylor-Smith, when she once again managed men's competitors, led to the fact that International Federation I had to establish an equivalent monetary remuneration for women and men. The achievement of Shelley will always live forever, flossing from a reservoir in the water world around the world. "

Sports swimming. State and path of development

The discrepancy between the "modest" results of Russian swimmers on the past Olympic games in Athens and the closest victories of our athletes on the latter youth championships Europe is forced to think about the state of domestic swimming and the possibilities of its further growth.

Prerequisites

Experience of countries with perennial traditions in the development of this sport and numerous champions and record holders of the world and the Olympic Games (USA, Australia, Germany, Holland, Sweden, Hungary, Russia, etc.), shows that these successes are organized mass training. Swimming of children and adolescents - reserve for selection into sports swimming. The preparation of the strongest swimmers of the world is carried out in the system of age groups. Every year in each country cultivating sports swimming, there are competitions in age groups: the younger (11-12 years), the average (13-14 years) and senior (15-16 years). The results of the competition are published in sports seal - we will learn the champions and prize-winners of the age groups and by their results we estimate the level and prospects for the development of sports swimming in a particular country. All world champions and record holders rose in the "incubator" of age groups (according to sports statistics, the preparation of the swimmer international class It requires 7-8 years of systematic training work), which is why swimming is called young sports. Huge popularity of swimming as a sport for children and adolescents is due to the lack of risk of injuries in classes, symmetric development of all muscular groups (Unlike tennis, fencing, etc.), hygienic-wellness exposure to water and the directional influence of swimming on the development of cardiovascular and respiratory systems of the body.

We emphasize that swimming is aerobic exercise; The most adequate age-related features of children and adolescents, since it causes an increase in the blood of growth hormone - somatotropin at 10-20 times. This promotes body growth in length, increase in muscle mass, heart weight and lungs.

This explains why international (FINA), European (Lena) Federation of Swimming and the Federation of Swimming of the USSR and Russia has given and pay primary attention to the development of mass and sports swimming among children and adolescents.

So at the end of the 50s - in the early 60s, the domestic federation adopted a promising plan for the development of children-youthful swimming, which seemed utopian in a country that did not have closed swimming pools - At this time in Moscow there were 2 pools, in Leningrad, Kiev and Minsk 1 pool.

Together with the Ministry of Education and other state structures, a broad organizational and methodological work on mass training in pioneer camps, general education schools, Sports School and SDYUSHOR - Mandatory mass coverage of schoolchildren on the initial sports training (order of the State Committee No. ... from ...) allowing sport base, inventory, personnel of qualified coaches. The Neptune Club, created under the Communist Party of VLKSM, and the publication of popular swimming literature, played an active role in attracting swimming in swimming. Improving the interest of children to sports swimming was promoted by the development and introduction of mass sports discharges Based on complex swimming, as well as the annual competition of students of the Sports School and Dyushor on the prizes of "Merry Dolphin".

The effect of large-scale events conducted throughout the country did not make long wait. The domestic Olympic champions Galina Prozanemshchikova, Marina Koshevaya, Vladimir Salnikov, Alexander Popov and other strongest swimmers, winners of the world and European championships, appeared on the world swimming arena. The victories of our juniors at championships are evidence of the successful work of children-youthful swimming. In this regard, questions arise: why today we are not in the "adult" swimming and what are his age borders? What does our rating look like, our presence in the children-youth and adult swimming compared to the leading powers of the world?

The age of the strongest swimmers of the world

IN recent decades in sports swimming Cardinal changes have occurred, which led to a change in the ideas about the age range of the maximum implementation of individual capabilities. As a result of the professionalization and commercialization of sports, the average age of 10 strongest swimmers of the world increased significantly. In addition, the growth rate of records has decreased markedly compared to the 60-80 months of the last century, and for victory in the next Olympiad, it becomes more and more likely to repeat the previous record achievement.

Until the mid-80s, this age was 17-18 years old for women and 19-20 years for men (Fig. 1). Then the average age gradually increased and amounted to 23.1 ± 3.3 years in men and 22.1 ± 3.9 years in women. Women, in addition, the acceleration of middle-aged growth is more pronounced in the year of the Olympiad. The minimum age of entry to the top ten strongest swimmers has practically not changed over the past 40 years and is 15-16 years old in men and 13-14 years old in women. The increase in average values \u200b\u200bincreased due to the maximum age, which in the mid-90s exceeded the value of 30 years and is currently approaching 35 years. As in the 70s, the most elders were rabral sprinters speaking at distances of 50 and 100 meters free-style, as well as at a distance of 200 meters in complex swimming, the youngest - styrene swimmers specializing in distances 800 and 1500 m free-style . We emphasize that age differences between the strongest men and women gradually decreased (Fig. 2), and in 2004 amounted to 0.9 years.

Almost all the strongest swimmers of our days are characterized by athletic physique. Their muscles are relief thanks to a large additional training with burdens, which they spend on land. It increases the power of certain muscle groups of the torso, shoulder belt And hands and reduce it in those muscles that are smaller in swimming. And this indicates that today we "use" our body more purposefully and efficiently than ever before.

The former ideas about ideal for certain ways of swimming types of physique are outdated.

Not so long ago, for example, it was believed that the Swimmer champion should be large, high, strong. Today we are talking only about strength, because we first strive to develop the necessary power in our body. It is this ability to show power - and is decisive. This means that if a low and slim swimmer has sufficient strength, it will move in water faster than tall and large. Old truth that a good high-growth athlete always wins good athlete Small growth, significantly lost its strength.

The physique of the strongest swimmers of our days has much more pronounced specific features compared to those times. Modern swimmers began to pay more time to the development of those muscle groups that carry the main load when swimming. To do this, they use isometric, isotonic, generalizing exercises and exercises with burdens. Women's stars also began to look physically more developed. However, they are not as large and heavy, as their predecessors who had to bear the burden. excess weight. They have slender waist, Slim I. strong legs, especially in the hips, where the previous champions had a lot of superfluous. Only in the method of swimming breeding, in which in former times, slender and light athletes performed better, today we are observing predominantly muscle swimmers. In other ways of swimming, the buoyancy of the body turned out to be more important than


growth I. muscle mass. In general, athletes with insufficient buoyancy better specialize in sprint swimming, where they can compensate for this lack of movement capacity. In contrast, athletes with good buoyancy, highly lying on the surface of the water, have an advantage in swimming on medium and long distances.

Floating athlete can be determined using scientific methods. A less accurate, but quite acceptable for a specialist, the path of determining the buoyancy of an athlete is to offer him lying in water without movement.

I remember when I began to work with John Conrads, I noticed that he had better buoyancy than other boys. He could not stick on the surface of the water, but did not descend so deep as others. I noticed the same thing at Murray Rose, Scots Yana Bleza, American Roy Saari, Japanese Yamanaki and other outstanding swimmers. There were also exceptions, for example, Bob Windl, who had a bad buoyancy, but it took 1500 meters despicable.


Sometimes the structure muscular fabric Changes as the ripening of swimmers. First, when they have good buoyancy, it helps at all distances to achieve high results. Then the proportion of the body increases, buoyancy decreases, and the athletes switched to sprint distances.

Most recently there was a point of view that, studying the body of a swimmer, you can reveal the most suitable method of swimming and distance. It was believed that low-spirited and strong swimmers should be focused on long distances, high and broadcasters - on sprint, and powerful healthy to specialize in Butterfly. Coaches preferred athletes with a slender figure and a smooth muscles. However, too often it led to an error. Nowadays, the necessary muscles can be created in the gymnastic hall in accordance with the intention of the coach.

Bob Windl was neither broad-circuit nor a native. Its type of physique is not suitable for any category, and the specialization of such athletes depends on the solution of the coach.

Of course, when determining the sprint or steel orientation, the temperature of the swimmer plays a major role. Plovher Styer must have a big psychology

sustainability and balanced character. It should be characterized by the ability to long-term training in solitude. It seems that Murray Rose said that Plovher Styer is a man of a closed and focused nature, a man "in himself." If so, then a good sprinter is a sociable and living person. It is an energetic and movable type with a steel spring and in character, and in muscles.

The swimmer should also have a good heart capable of quickly coming into a normal state after intensive loads; The heart capable of working powerfully, supplying the muscles of the body with oxygen during large stresses, such as swimming with the maximum speed.

To identify potential champions among the very young swimmers is not easy, and, of course, we are not insured at all from mistakes. After all, most of the necessary qualities that I spoke are not visible immediately. In addition, I am sure that regardless of the level of development of physical qualities, the future swimmer champion must have a feeling of water. The pronounced presence of it in some swimmers is striking when they just make the first rowing movements. Other athletes are so never acquiring this quality, despite the diligence in training.

If you find that one or another young man has a sense of water, check it off. If he and here you like it, appreciate its temperament, psyche. If he is withstanding this test, you can be sure that he has the opportunity to become a great swimmer. Time will show if you are right.

For the swimmer and his coach, the highest honor is the conquest of gold olympic medal. This means much more than the establishment of the world record, because if the swimmer has achieved victory at the Olympics, his name becomes immortal in the history of swimming. For many years, the names of the world records were melted in the tables of world records, now forgotten, the names of the people who defeated the Stopwatch, but did not manage to conquer the Olympic title.

It is one thing to compete with a stopwatch that does not feel the tension of the competition with rivals, and completely different - to win from the strongest swimmers of the world in the conditions of the colossal tension of the sporting struggle in the Olympic finals. That is why the most difficult of all problems is not for the coach preparation of an athlete,


which can swim faster than everyone, and the upbringing of an athlete who can swim faster than all at the most tental conditions of the competition. Very often swimmers showing almost fantastic results on state championships or national championships, when the voltage is relatively small, can not olympic Games Repeat your results or show time close to your record. And the point is not that they do not try to do it. In fact, many of them are trying too much, stronger than it is possible. In most cases, this happens for the reason that they cannot show their higher achievements At any time, when it is necessary, and have insufficient competitive experience. I would call these athletes "Swimmets of the mood.

On each large Competition You can meet dozens of gifted swimmers who lack self-confidence, confidence in their sporting skills. These swimmers arrive not only from Australia, but also from the UK, Holland, Japan, Sweden, Finland, New Zealand, South America and to a slightly lesser extent from GDR and Germany. On the contrary, American swimmers feel confident and well know what they need to do when they jump into the water. They are thoroughly aimed at tense contests. This is explained by the fact that Americans have an excellent system of competition of age groups. US swimmers regularly participate in competitions since the eight-year-old age. If they win in their hometown, they go to the state competition, zonal competitions and, finally, to the national championship of their age group. They are accustomed to show their top scores Even if, let's say, a little tired of the fact that they were poor or slept in the previous night or they have a slightly upset stomach. They are well prepared for the struggle for their best seconds in competitions due to the excellent spirit of rivalry, forcing them to win from their peers, and if it does not work the first time, again and again try to win.

Not to mention this about completely obvious advantages that the system of age groups gives swimmers from the point of view of acquiring competitive experience, it also helps to kill the monotony of training. It is much easier to develop the physical capabilities of the young


the swimmer in the competition with the guys of his age, than to force him alone to swim countable segments in the pool. Competitions give him pleasure. He is glad to be in the group of peers, and with an increase in the skill of this group he grows himself. I often saw a child who just said that he was very tired to swim the next segment with the help of movements of the legs and with a board in his hands or perform any like easy exercise, immediately jumped into the water and sailed with full strength, Competing with their peers.

Specialists in the field of swimming are disagreeing, what amount of work in the water must perform the most young swimmers. Those who develop early, naturally, can swim on long distances. The work experience has shown me that if a very young swimmer is able to swim well 800 or 1500 meters, then it should be allowed to him. Usually, I train young swimmers twice a day with a dream between training, when possible. They swim from two to two and a half miles for each workout. I try to give them one full day of rest a week, although I noticed that for this day they somewhat lose the feeling of water. But I think that the psychological gain from rest is more than losses from the loss of the feeling of water. In addition, children are allowed not to train after lunch on Saturday and Sunday. If the rest is arranged on Friday, then we try to participate in competition in the evening. All the same in the eyes of the child, this day remains a day of rest, probably due to the fact that the decor is shown.

I combine children in groups in accordance with their capabilities. If, say, I have 12 children of different ages, I merge 6 strongest in one group and give them the opportunity to compete with each other, and the rest, west, make up another group. The joint swimming for the forces of athletes creates additional incentives in training and allows you to fully use the benefits of group work. For example, if 1500 meters have to swim in the training session for a while, I merge into one swims of all swimmers that have 400 meters at a distance of 6.00 and better, and they start first. For them, all those who have a result at a distance of 400 meters are 6.30. Posing them in this way or even sending each other with a 5-second interval, we can give a good


training to a large number of young swimmers. In the pool with 8 tracks it is not difficult to work for a while with 60 young swimmers at the same time.

Working with swimmers involved in age groups, delivers the coach most satisfaction in its activities. Very often for one season they reach such large successthat the coach may not be rejected by the results of his work. Of course, when raising very young athletes, problems always arise, but they minimize the system of age groups.

Sprinter swimming requires maturity and strength, and for this reason, there are few good sprinter among young swimmers. But they can show amazing results in swimming on medium and long distances. And yet, for the coach, a great success of finding a swimmer capable of showing a real speed at a distance of 50 or 100 meters. Typically, it is a young man in early development with severe muscles. An excellent example of a swimmer of this type is the Australian Sprinter Mike Wenden. At the age of 13, he sailed 110 yards freestyle in 58.5 seconds. At the age of 16, he showed the result of 53.8 at a distance of 110 yards and 1.57.3 to 220 yards.

At the beginning of the season, my disciples usually start at a distance of 50 meters, then I soon turn to distances 400 and 800 meters for the simple reason that it is difficult to achieve constant growth of the result on a 50-meter distance. In the sprint swimming, the improvement goes on the split second, whereas athlete at long distances often drop out of 2 to 4 minutes. It gives a sense of satisfaction and athlete, and coach. Inspired by this noticeable improvement, we then move to the enhanced sprint training.

It is difficult to overestimate the importance of classes in age groups in maintaining a long interest in swimming. Each coach must take care of supporting athletes with medium gifting, including them in swimmers with appropriate training. Who knows, perhaps this particular child will later become a champion. After all, it is possible that he just develops late.

Many coaches have to meet with parents who would like their children to swim well, but ... without training with gravity and without excessive physical


chest voltages. Parents speak at the same time that their children do not want to be champions. Sometimes it seems to me that these parents are simply insured in case the child really cannot become an outstanding swimmer.

Surprisingly, what big emotions can be caused in the group of young swimmers, establishing standards in swimming for 200 and 400 meters in various ways and setting up athletes to perform these standards. They rush to exceed the control time, and this process gives them pleasure. You can set the standards for individual swimmers. This is perhaps the best way to ensure the greatest growth of each athlete.

I saw the children who at the beginning of the season barely floated one length of the pool, and by the end of the year they became strongest in their group.

For many years I experimented with various options training programs in age groups. Sometimes during the whole week gave the same load on each training session or a different program for the morning and evening classes. Sometimes during the month I changed the workout plan every 2 days or did not give any other exercises except for remote navigation. Trying to find bEST PROGRAM Training, I came to the conclusion that it is better before the arrival of the coach in the pool to hide the content of the upcoming classes from the athletes. When they do not know what they expect them to have enthusiasm. But if you ask them the same job more than 2 days in a row, they have an interest in training and the mood falls.

In the age groups, the versatile swimming preparation is appropriate. The use of all four ways to swim in training, regardless of the specialization of the swimmer, increases the possibilities of sparring and the spirit of rivalry. Usually, athletes who achieved high results in one way of swimming, as a rule, quite well mastered others.

My weekly program for age groups includes swimming periods in all ways. If a child does not know how to swim in one way, I set it up for mastering this way. Very often detecting ^? ° ° Sobach1e for a complex sailing athletes.

Usually a weekly training program looks as follows;


Monday

Morning: everything is sailed by the Brass.

Evening: Everyone floats in the main way, in the warm-up and final part of the classes - in another way (excluding Butterfly).

Tuesday

Morning: everyone floats on the back. Evening: Everyone floats 1500 m for a while.

Wednesday

Morning: Everyone floats with butterfly.

Evening: everyone floats in the main way, but in the warm-up and final part of the lesson - in another way (excluding Butterfly).

Thursday

Morning: everyone floats comprehensively.

Evening: Everyone floats to 2 miles (for those who can perform it).

Friday

Morning: rest.

Evening: Competitions.

Saturday

Morning: Everyone floats in the main way. Evening: rest.

Sunday

Morning: Everyone floats in the main way. If this method is mastered well, the athlete floats the lagging method.

Evening: rest.

We perform sprint work on short segments with acceleration, with a given pause of rest between them. We use exercises in swimming with dolphin with the help of legs, swimming on the back on short segments, relaxing swimming in all means, passing distance 200 and 400 meters for a while. The main task is to ensure that the diverse day program will deliver pleasure and at the same time remaining quite effective. I believe that the ability of coaches is exceptional importance


addressing the enthusiasm of students, the ability to help overcome the monotony and boredom training. A skilled coach will not allow the child to lose "competitive spark." The child should be ready to compete, even if he feels not in shape. In swimming at 1500 meters and 2 miles for a while, additional incentives have invaluable importance. For example, my young students can receive a swimming board as a prize with an autograph.

Z. Firsov. It gives interesting data characterizing the state of the pulse in the country's prominent swimmers at the beginning of the workout and at the achievement of a sports form. For Meshkov, they are equal to 70 and 54; For Ushakov - 72 and 63; For Aleshina - 78 and 63; For Kitaev - 72 and 49; For Borisov - 72 and 60; For Solneva - 72 and 63.

Under the influence of training swimming The pulse slows down the maximum blood pressure decreases. If at the beginning of a workout, the pulse at Meshkla reached after 60 jumps up to 18 blows at 10 seconds, returned to the initial value after 80 seconds., In a state of sports form after 60 jumps, the pulse was rapid only up to 14 blows at 10 seconds. And returning it To the initial value occurred in 50 seconds. Most of the data notes at the swimmers physiological bradycardia, i.e., the slowdown of the pulse, which, according to the cross-person, is the result of an increase in the tone of the wandering nerve.

Swimming strengthens the muscles of the whole body, especially the muscles lower extremities, and swimming in the chest strengthens and spin extensors; This is very effective tool To combat spinal curvature.

The same author reports datacharacterizing the physical development of swimmers. It leads indicators physical development Junior swimmers who took in 1941 tons. Participation in the children's long-distance match of five cities. The boys-swimmers 14-15 years have had an increase higher than the average growth of a man, and the capacity of the lungs per 1000 cm3 is larger than the average norm of a healthy man. According to other authors, it is also noted that children who are regularly engaged in swimming, compared with the average data have a higher growth. Muscular system is evenly developed at swimmers, since swimming comprehensively loads muscle system active movements.
Barussian swimming perfectly corrects the curvature of the spine, especially the stubbornness.

Diving to a depth of 2 mThe athlete is experiencing an extension pressure on the body with a power of 200 g per 1 cm2 of the body surface. Remain a minute and more under water - it is possible only a well-trained person; At competitions, this term is brought to 80-100 seconds. People have untouched or labilic (weak) chest And the lungs long diving can cause lung emphyms. Diving itself, subject to the relevant rules, does not pose a risk for the swimmer, does not threaten any damage and has a large applied and defense importance.

Recordsman Leningrad In the diving, Alexey Dorokhin during the Great Patriotic War was appointed commander of the division division of marines in the Baltic. During the fulfillment of the responsible task of a brave intelligence officer who flooded at the enemy shore, the German automaton was discovered and the target fire was opened on Dorokhin. He immediately dived and, showing on the surface of the water in 15-20 m, again "revealed the diving, changing the direction of the breakdown under water. Cheating Germans and not giving them to focus on themselves aiming fire by continuous care, the intelligence officer overcame the zone shot back and returned to their own.

Should be mentioned about convulsions in ionic musclesthat often make it difficult or do absolutely impossible to work the legs. Causes come mainly with long staying in cold water.
