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!

Aussie Update

Hello again!

The CUBU group has been here for a couple of days now and so far so good. The swimmers have a brief break from their training and are spending the next day and a half with their host families.

A lot of us were able to take in the New Years celebrations at the various local beaches and some were lucky enough to make into Sydney to watch the big show over the Harbour.

Here are some quick updates on what we've done thus far:

- Our kayaking excursion around the Manley wharf was a lot of fun and a good time. Our guide took us to a small beach where a number of us swam ashore and jumped into the ocean from a rather large rock. It was quite a workout paddling around!
