@markus_marthaler: Sculling for swimmers is a technique that helps swimmers build strength and improve form. What is the science behind sculling? Sculling is a technique that allows swimmers to “feel the water,” by focusing on the pitch of the hands in the water. This is similar to sculling when rowing. When the paddle is in the water, it drives, stops, and turns the boat. The pitch is what determines where and how fast you go. When swimming, the hand acts like the paddle. Sculling focuses on the pitch of your paddle. The pitch of the hand gives swimmers a sense of the water pressure. Coaches and swimmers use sculling drills to train the hands and the body to recognize the pressure. Sculling drills assist in training swimmers to feel the the pressure of the water and to evaluate the necessary changes to prevent fatigue, tension, and poor stroke mechanics. What is Sculling? Sculling is a back-and-forth motion with your hands, like you’re drawing a figure eight. Your elbows should stay relaxed, and you should have minimal shoulder movement. Keep your palms slightly oriented in the direction that you would like to travel as you apply pressure to the water. The most common mistake people make when sculling is making a circular motion similar to a small breaststroke pull instead of the figure eight. #Swimacademy #swimusa #swimsmarter #swimtips #swimmingworld #butterflyswimming #swimrace #poolswim #swimon #swimmingsports #swimstrong #swimwod #swimeveryday #swimhappy #swimfriends #swimmingforlife #swimfam #swimfamily #swimfan
