SWIMMING - Beginner's 4-Week Program
IT'S A DAY OFF:
Here are a few more details to help you with the Three and Glide (3&G): Each time you roll and stroke, be aware of your belly button pointing directly toward the side wall, as it is when you're in side-glide position. Each time you take a stroke, be sure you are swapping hands in front of the body as described in yesterday's workout. As you finish the third stroke of each set and hold the side-glide position, you should immediately feel the dry strip of flesh down your trailing arm. If you don't, this tells you that you've lifted your head, let pressure off your buoy, or both. As you get better at the 3&G, you can take more strokes in each set of strokes, effectively turning this into the 5&G or 7&G drill. Don't increase the number of strokes until you can enter each glide phase in a fully balanced position that needs no correction.
