Seb who attended one of our clinics made these three changes to improve his aerobic threshold from 2.05 to 1.45 per 100m, resulting in a three-minute drop in his half-ironman swim time in just a couple of months!
HEAD POSITION
- Seb’s head position has improved, resulting in better body position, higher hips, and improved breathing technique
- It is now within the desired range and slightly deeper in the water, with the top of the head still above the surface
- The improvement in head position has positively impacted his overall performance
TIMING/FRONT QUADRANT
- Seb has improved his timing and balance in his stroke by keeping his right arm reaching forward for a longer period of time
- This allows him to always have something in front of his head, improving his overall stroke and catch on his right side
THE CATCH/PULL PATTERN
- Seb’s left arm catch has significantly improved over the past few months, with a narrower hand and a more balanced position
- He now has a half diamond shape, passing under the shoulder, which is a good position for a good catch
- His right arm is still not perfect, but he is improving. He now has more bend at the elbow, with an ideal angle of 100-120 for a good catch
