One arm stroke with a pull buoy

ADDITIONAL EXERCISE for strokes when we have troubles with the stroke and kick coordination. We perform the exercise with the face underwater and holding breath because of the better body position on the surface. When we feel the need to inhale, we rise the head, inhale and immerse the face underwater. During the performance we focus on:

  • extended position of the stationary arm,
  • almost extended arm entry in the line of the shoulder by the same side,
  • correct arm bending during the stroke,
  • finish of the stroke with extended arm,
  • acceleration of the stroke,
  • returning the arms by rising the shoulders out of the water,
  • gliding in extended position after returning the arms.
