Publisher's Synopsis
A unique and novel approach to swimming. Instead of focusing on speed, the techniques in this book focused on leisure, stress-free swimming that can be applied to rough water such as the surf at the beach. The topics that will be covered:
-Mixed Blessings - How traditional swimming lessons hinder your ability to swim in rough water.
-Breathing Techniques - How to breathe properly and test your breathing efficiency.
-Equilibrium - How to recuperate faster than your rate of energy expenditure to prolong your swim session.
-Muscle Management - How to properly relax your muscles while swimming to leverage gravity.
-Stroking Technique - How to stroke-and at what angle-to maximize the benefits of gravity and water's buoyancy.
-Angular Acceleration Calculations - Using the arm swing at the shoulder joint as a pivot, angular accelerations are calculated and presented through detailed graphs and explanations.
-Swimming Riddle - If you want to swim like a fish, think like a fish. If you want to think like a fish, think like a human. How can a human think like a fish-and, in doing so, learn to swim like one?
