Detroit Dan - 2009-06-12 1:54 PM bryancd - 2009-06-12 1:29 PM JohnnyKay - 2009-06-12 12:56 PM Sometimes there are a reason things are left behind in the "Old School". x2. I see no benefit whatsoever by doing this and i am confused why having sore muscles is a diserable outcome? Would you run with poor form to make your legs feel more tired?  Tough crowd in here... A sore muscle is not a desirable outcome. It is however a result of working a muscle in a way that it is not used to. If you work this technique in slowly and don't over exadurate the inside and outside strokes, you won't feel a thing. You will be using the same muscles that are used during freestyle stroke, just in a slightly different position than your normal stroke. I think the "New School" term is muscle confusion. It's not a particularly tough crowd. But it is generally a crowd that expects there to be some demonstrable benefit from doing what you advise when you start a thread with suggestions about how to train. What you're suggesting doesn't make any sense. What benefit did you gain from "exadurating" your inside and outside strokes, for example? If you're saying it will make you feel better when you swim normally, that makes about as much sense as hitting myself with a hammer so it will feel better when it stops hurting... Don't take it personally. But if you plan to offer advice you need to make a case for your suggestion. That's a reasonable expectation and people are going to call you on it if the benefit isn't clear. |

Elite 2645 Phoenix, AZ | Subject: RE: An Old School Swimming trick. I'll attempt to un-derail this thread. The last coach I met with gave me a related tip. She said if you suspect your form is faltering to try to swim how you KNOW is incorrect. If it feels pretty much the same, then you've been doing it wrong. I've had good experiences with experimenting like this. I think it adds to body-awareness, knowing where your hands, forearms, elbows are.

This I've heard of, and I can see that being a side benefit of a couple laps deliberately swimming that way for a comparison. Repeated laps, especially in the exaggerated way the OP is suggesting, are begging for an impingement or other injury. John
