The
Art And Science of Swimming
For
Swimmers, Teachers and Coaches
Presented By Coach Shev
Gul, BSc, ASCA, Fellow Fistc(cc), ASA - London
Aim: To share
learning, exchange experiences, pass-on knowledge,
and technical know-how.
(Seminar room)
"Thanking Asca for the inspiration
and the light"………..
Heros & Mentors,
Doc Counsilman, F. Carlile,
M. Schubert, E. Maglischo, C. Colwin, J Leonard,
R. Dilts, G Lozanov…
Quotations (see sg website for
some)
Designed to function on the land!…..
What are we really doing in the
water?……..
80% of human body made out of
water!…..
A. TRAINING CONCEPTS
Based on,
a. Force Creation (resistance
promotion!) - 100 years legacy!
b. Resistance Elimination (improved
technique)
(video presentation)
Popov`s & Phelp`s Training
B. TECHNIQUE FUNDAMENTALS
"Only Effective And Brain
Compatible Teaching-Learning Will Stick!"………..sg
Fun, Multi Sensory, Whole
Body, Natural Way……VAKOG
Respecting the Human Brains` Learning

Stroke Technique - Bio Mechanical
Fundamentals
· Balance (cb & cg)
· Streamlining (body arrow)
· Roll (glide tall)
· Pulse (ride tall)
· High Elbow (kayak arm)
· Breathing (diaphragmatic and on LA)
· Stroke Length (dps)
· Relaxation (performing in the Zone - breathing
rhythm)
· Sportsmind (mental skills)
C. AXIS BASED TECHNIQUE
TRAINING CONCEPT
Developed by Coach Shev Gul -
SM for training and competition-see sg article
SM-Short Medley Concept (by sg)
FC , BK Long Axis Strokes
FLY, BRS Short Axis Strokes
D. CHOREOGRAPHY - DRY
LAND STROKE DEMONSTRATION
"If we could say it, we
wouldn`t have to dance it"
"Best way to explain is to
do it"
"Brain is an image processor
not a word processor"
" If it does not move, it
won`t groove"
For all four strokes.- poolside
(Pool Demo)
E. TEACHING STROKE TECHNIQUE
SEQUENCE
"If you don`t know how to
get a free ride from water, your swimming is not
built on a balanced foundation"……………………..
sg-dances with water,TI.03
Fc, Bk, Fly, Brs
Phases: I, II, III, IV, V, VI,
VII (see sg website for some)
All Stroke Technique skills built
around the "Balance" concept.
See article; "Dances With
Water".....sg
F . BREATHING CONTROL
FUNDAMENTALS - TECHNIQUE
"Breath control fundamentals
more important than mechanics and frequency of breathing"…..sg
"Like singers and musicians,
swimmers should be thought first about breath control
technique…cc
"Ghost-like glide swimming
only possible with an efficient breathing technique"………………….cc
* In swimming relaxation = efficient
breathing technique (is this what Popov talks about?)
* Respiratory System muscles (Do
you know about the muscles involved)?
* Diaphragmatic Breathing V Inter-Coastal
Breathing (Do you know the difference)?
* Breathing -exhalation and inhalation-
for Fc, Bk, Fly, and BrS
* Olympic champions, Phelps and
Thomson breathe on every stroke
* Balance, Streamlining, Body
Roll/Pulsing, Arm Timing, SL and Effective
Propulsion; all depend on good breathing technique
-breath control
* How to make breathing action
in swimming automatic-like reflex land breathing
* Special practices for breath
capacity and breath control development
* Breathing techniques for different
speeds and paces
G.CREATIVE AND IMAGINITIVE
DRILLS FOR TECHNIQUE TRAINING
"Stimulating and meaningful
drills make perfect strokes"…………..sg
Different drills for different
ability/stroke groups
H. INTELLIGENT COACHING
- SMART TRAINING
"Prescriptive teaching and
coaching will never stay- stick"…………sg
a. It is all about,
Empowering swimmers
Passing on the toolbox
Helping knowledge ownership
b. Training Program Priorities
Technique (1st) - Resistance
Elimination (v, r2, e3)
Body Strength - Core Power
Energy Metabolism Systems - Aerobic, Aneorobic,
ATP-CP
Muscular Strength (ST, FT)
Dry Land - Flexibility
Sportsmind Skills
Diet
Social, Family, Personal, Leisure, Life Style
c. Axis Based Training - Technique
Development (sg)
d. Stroke Timing Characteristics
(STC) (sg)
e. Monitoring (T-30)
f. Evaluation
g. Consolidate Learning (experience,
knowledge, wisdom, revaluate, redesign)
h. Share, Exchange Experience
and Pass-on the Knowledge Flame….
