Think About This...

The main idea in golf as in life, I suppose, is to learn to accept what cannot be altered, and to keep on doing one's own reasoned and resolute best whether the prospect be bleak or rosy. - Bobby Jones

Latest CUBU News

Welcome to CUBU at Tysons YWCA

Curl-Burke Tysons YWCA is one site of the Gold Medal competitive swim team organization known as the Curl-Burke Swim Club.  We offer competitive stroke instruction and training for novice through  elite swimmers. As members of United States Swimming, we compete in the Potomac Valley LSC (Local Swim Committee).

The Curl-Burke site at the YWCA in Tysons serves the needs of each individual swimmer, taking a personal interest in each child's growth and development as they strive to reach their fullest potential.

Swimmers are grouped by ability and age. Workout schedules are determined after consultation with the coaching staff and swimmer/family. The Curl-Burke summer workouts are scheduled so that swimmers can continue to train and compete for their summer league teams.

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!
