This 6 week class takes you through the Total Immersion drills and strategies for full stroke freestyle. Celeste gives you the skills to gradually build your Freestyle and Backstroke strokes. Over time, the results will be strokes that are faster, easier, and more efficient for the long haul. You will learn your strengths and opportunities for improvement.
You will learn the four key skills of a Fishlike Freestyle:
1. Cooperate with Gravity – don’t fight gravity trying to swim, but find your natural equilibrium by sinking into weightlessness. Learning to relax into the water breaks the “survival – stroking” cycle, and frees your arms and legs for their best use.
2. Take the Path of Least Resistance – Once you understand that you must swim through the water ‚Äî water is almost 800 times denser than air ‚Äî focus more on how well you streamline than how you pull and kick. Learn to shape yourself to cut through the water like a torpedo by alternating a right-side-streamline with a left-side-streamline. Each stroke will move you farther and faster with less effort.
3. Swim with your whole body – You swim with your whole body, instead of your arms and legs. Celeste will teach you to propel with a simple 2-beat kick, relaxed and rhythmic weight shifts, rather than arm-and leg churning.
4. Breathe easy – Learn the skills for breathing easily as you swim. With practice, you will experience less breathlessness. The air is free, take all you need!
