GHAC Coaches Thought of the Day with Coach Julie Saturday, April 11, 2020 Theme of the Week: Freestyle Freestyle Breathing: Head position: When taking a breath, do not lift your head up and/or forward as this will cause your hips to drop and change your body position in the water. As your arm reaches forward, breathe to the opposite side. Allow your head and neck to turn following the natural rotation of your stroke. While taking a breath, try to keep the waterline down the centre of your face. Once...

GHAC Coaches Thought of the Day with Coach Maria Friday, April 10, 2020 Theme of the Week: Fishtailing Fishtailing is where your feet swing side to side as you swim. Fishtailing increases the amount of resistance you are creating in the water, and reduces the power you can get from your pull. When you swim, your body should look like a torpeo, straight and strong. As you roll the top part of your body… the hips, knees, feet should also roll. We do drills to help us with this, but...
