| Swimming is learned behavior therefore swimming can | | | | source of physical force but the core is natural and |
| be done in many ways and for many reasons. | | | | shoulders are back up system to movement. |
| Swimming can be relaxing because it forces a person | | | | Here is the concept of natural swimming which is |
| to control their breathing and develop their exhaling | | | | having the best form and generating the most power |
| abilities which relaxes a person. On the physical side it | | | | within physical movement. The mind is the director of |
| gives a person exercises that promoting range of | | | | energy and muscle movement and it holds your |
| motion which promotes energy flow through muscle | | | | physical experiences of movement in your swimming |
| action and tones muscles. If a person wants to | | | | form as a habit. Person trains mind and body to make |
| enhance the benefits of swimming the power of core | | | | their swimming form a habit so the mind can focus |
| breathing ability for swimming will increase breath | | | | directing energy during competitive times. When your |
| range and strengthen core area. The power of core | | | | training the mind and body to swim your training the |
| breathing is an energy point of view centered around | | | | energy feeling experience with your movement form. |
| the core for strength and breathing for endurance. | | | | So the more person taps into the energy and strength |
| They are two separate parts but when they are | | | | which is core/breathing for swimming, the greater the |
| together they generates power in the act of swimming | | | | enhancement of performance can be created give |
| at any speed. The power of core/breathing is the | | | | the affectiveness of form. The more natural the |
| source of strength and energy and how you direct | | | | physical form for swimming the better the flow of |
| that source into the act of swimming, which is your | | | | energy into the form. That is how you can judge your |
| swimming form, will determine the affects in the water. | | | | form to enhance effectiveness by experiencing it and |
| Swimming form is very important for enjoyment and | | | | its called the zone. |
| good form does not wasting movement and energy | | | | What is natural swimming is not tightening or engaging |
| and enhances performance within enjoyment. | | | | your shoulders in the the act of swimming and being |
| This program views the development of energy and | | | | connected to your source of strength and endurance |
| strength from core/breathing should be transmitted to | | | | to your hands and feet within your swimming form. |
| three physical points which are feet, hands and head | | | | Natural swimming is having the lease internal muscle |
| to create the physical act of movement, within any | | | | resistance and having the most effective power |
| physical sport. So the connection to these points and | | | | stroke. |
| the core muscle groups determines the power ability | | | | Why people swim with fingers apart so they will not |
| for anyone within the learned form of physical | | | | tighten shoulders as much and they create less |
| movement. How will person energize the selected | | | | resistance within their stroke, so the arms move faster |
| group muscles within their movement determines the | | | | but not the body. If the core is not engaged to the |
| power within their form. So having good form is as | | | | hands during the power stroke a person will tighten |
| important and having strength and endurance so there | | | | shoulder muscles which will make them become tired |
| is no waste of power within the form. The number | | | | faster. The art is to connect to your core to the hands |
| one directive act and habit that will lesson a person | | | | with out tightening the shoulder muscles during your |
| strength and endurance is engaging the shoulder | | | | movement. |
| muscles during your power stroke in swing. The rule in | | | | Here is where technique comes into play for within the |
| this program, the more the shoulders are tighten and | | | | technique person naturally connects to the source of |
| used the less core and breathing ability for strength | | | | their strength to the hands. So making a cup shape out |
| and endurance. | | | | of your hands to create high resistance to propel the |
| What can raise a persons competitive, enjoyment, | | | | body through water without using the shoulder muscles |
| ability in swimming is the ability to connect to the | | | | takes techniques to engage the core/breathing. As |
| power of the core during a power stroke to the hands | | | | source of information and physical form to develop |
| and the hands shape during power stroke with out | | | | power within movement of the body, Qi Gong |
| tightening shoulder muscles. The hands are the area of | | | | understanding is great source of information. Watching |
| development that can enhance performance in | | | | the hands during Qi Gong movement and how they |
| persons swimming stroke for how they are shape | | | | shape their hands within exercise are just cluing to be |
| affects water resistance. Watching swimmers during | | | | connected to a persons source of strength and |
| competition look at the hands and see if the fingers | | | | energy flow from the core within movement. |
| are together are open. The goal in good form during | | | | Here is the next test to see if you use your core or |
| the power stroke is to create the greatest resistance | | | | shoulders to start your power stroke in swimming. |
| to propel the body and how the hands are shaped is | | | | Bring your hand over your head, like you would do in |
| the greatest determining factor. If water is flow | | | | swimming. Then bring it down to 30 degrees and have |
| through open fingers that is the loss resistance so | | | | someone give you resistance while bring your hand |
| person has to move the arms more times to make up | | | | down and feel what muscles are used. When you feel |
| the loss force by having the fingers open. If person | | | | your shoulders tighten up then you can release and |
| bring the fingers together and thumb in such way to | | | | change to core by having your mind force on your |
| form cup that will create greater resistance and that | | | | core being tight. Reality is when it get hard to create |
| will give greater force to movement through the water. | | | | your power stroke people begin to use shoulder |
| Here is test in the water, do it very slowly so the mind | | | | muscles as the main force within their swimming |
| can connect to the hands and feel resistance within | | | | stroke. Training to use the core to the highest level |
| person power stroke. With fingers apart resistance is | | | | with breath so a swimmer does not use shoulder |
| created in the palm of the hands and feel how much | | | | muscles will enhance enjoyment and performance. |
| resistance within the hand movement. Become clear in | | | | Here is very hard part to understand for it deals with |
| muscle feeling then bring your fingers together and | | | | internal experience relationship between core and |
| thumb and feel resistance in the hand and with that | | | | shoulders. How you use the thumb and placement and |
| resistance how your body wants to move through the | | | | finger tips affects person ability to connect to the core |
| water. | | | | over the shoulders. So if placement and mind direction |
| This is not simple act or change, there are other | | | | is not done right a person will use their shoulders. This |
| factors on how person uses their internal muscles to | | | | idea and experience comes from Qi Gong training |
| form their hands so the shoulders muscles are not | | | | about the hands and core connection and shoulder |
| tighten or engaged during the power stroke. There is a | | | | affect. |
| internal side and external form to energy flow for | | | | Creating a natural swimming form experience is where |
| strength and power. People have the ability to have | | | | the whole body is engaged from the center of the |
| the same external movement but use two different | | | | body to the hands and feet and directed by the head. |
| set of muscle groups to perform the physical | | | | If person is into high performance enhancement in |
| movement. Person can shape their hands but creating | | | | swimming the development of the power of core |
| strength with the hands requires training so person | | | | breathing to the hands during the power stroke will |
| does not use muscle groups that will make the weak. | | | | increase performance. |
| People can use the shoulders or the core muscles as | | | | |
