Speedo Tip of the Week

Butterfly Arm Recovery

This week's Speedo Tip of the Week comes from USA Swimming's Biomechanics Coordinator Russell Mark. Mark offers some advice on proper butterfly arm recovery.

The Tip:
The arm recovery should be a relaxed motion, but many swimmers muscle their arms forward instead. Forcing the arms forward will make the back and shoulder muscles very tired. In order to have a relaxed recovery that will not tire your muscles as quickly, (1) finish your arm stroke strong, (2) have a powerful kick at the finish of the arm stroke, (3) don't lift your body up high when you breathe, and (4) let your arms recover close to the surface of the water. If you concentrate on all of these technique points, you'll be able to enjoy swimming fly even more. Good luck!

Swimming with Sharks

Wow! We've been busy here over the past couple of days. Here are some highlights ...

- Our last surf lesson was fun and saw some small improvements in our surfing. However, after having been beaten up by the surf in two previous lessons, some of the swimmers called it quits. The girls were able to get pictures with our friendly surf instructors though :)

- The group's trip to Taronga Zoo was entertaining and a nice break from the sand. The zoo is built on the side of a hill overlooking the Sydney Harbour and offered some amazing views. It's evident that a lot of money and time have gone into this zoo as it is considerably nicer than the one we have in DC. Highlights included a new Asian elephant section and the platypus exhibit!
