Each month I will be listing a skill for the Junior squads main focus.
For the start of the season the focus is STREAMLINE.
It cannot be stressed enough how important streamline is to any swimmer. It is the easiest way to make competitive swimming easier and faster.
If a swimmer did not streamline on entry to the pool or pushing of the turns, the person that they are racing will probably get ahead and save their energy by utilising this basic but very important skill.
I will expect the swimmers to independently be on top of this, trying to impress with streamline of the walls.
Please have a look at this technique video. All-Strokes - Simple Streamline: http://youtu.be/fej5IOsR8BU
