Butterfly - Breakout
Demonstrated by Kevin Clements - Pick up the DVD these images were borrowed from
here.
Young, aggressive swimmers canʼt WAIT to start racing.
Because of that, as coaches and teachers, we have to instruct them the best way
to begin a race. If they’re too aggressive, swimmers can end up dragging their
arms through the water on the recovery phase of the first stroke, creating
tremendous resistance and slowing the swimmer down. Regaining that momentum
creates too much struggle on the first lap of ANY race for the swimmer to really
get the maximum benefit from the start.
This series of photos features
Kevin Clements, National IM Champion, and a sub-2:00 long course 200 IM
swimmer. Kevin is also the featured swimmer in the DVD Go Swim IM with Kevin
Clements.
The first photo shows Kevin dolphining to the surface in a perfect streamline position. This picture has enough teaching in it for MANY swimmers, including HOW Kevin locks his hands for his streamline. Throughout this phase of his start, Kevinʼs hand are directed straight forward, and donʼt move up and down. He uses his hands and arms to stabilize his body in moving directly forward.
The second photo shows the exact moment in which Kevin begins
to separate his hands. You can just see in the reflection from the surface of
the water, the depth of his body. At this point, he is still fairly deep, but
his momentum is directing him gradually toward the surface. He wants to make
sure he begins his pull prior to any part of his body contacting the surface to
ensure a perfectly clean first pull.
Kevin’s head has not moved at all
out of the position it was in during the streamline, and stays perfectly in line
with the rest of his body.
The third photo shows Kevin beginning the powerful part of
his pull. Itʼs here that he begins to head UP at a steeper angle. The arms
direct him up just a bit, but not so much that he POPS out of the water. Itʼs a
natural reaction to the arm pull, and will look drastic only if the swimmer is
TOO close to the surface when this pull starts.
Notice that Kevinʼs head
is still in about the same position. His hips are close to the surface, and the
body is in a great position for the first stroke.
In the forth photo, the key thing to notice is Kevinʼs nose.
Yes, thatʼs his NOSE leading his body. He keeps his head in perfect alignment
with the rest of his body, and concentrates on going JUST over the surface.
Heʼs almost “skimming” his body over the surface of the water, rather than
thinking about “flying” over it. Heʼs trying to stay low, so his energy isnʼt
directly UP, but not so low that just about his entire head is clearing the
water.
In the above-water shots, notice that Kevin’s shoulders are
completely clear of the water, and that his initial breakout is a clean,
powerful, and ultimately, FAST first stroke.
Of course, by FAST, we mean heʼs done a tremendous job of hanging on to the speed from his start for as long as possible, and holds it into his first stroke, then his second... and so on.
Encourage your swimmers to skim the surface on their breakout, rather than blast out.
