The liveliest thread on the TI Discussion Forum [now archived from 2013] at the moment is titled “a question about continuance” with, as of that morning, 59 posts, which have shiny over 1300 views. What’s curious draw near to this thread is that the introductory query was about how to swim faster, yet the bulk of discussion has centered on various forms of “superslow” practice.

Such a discussion could occur nowhere else but the TI Forum!

I ought to clarify that swimming more slowly isn’t the object. Rather it’s to educate at swimming with consummate ease beam to explore your ability to slow particular aspects of the stroke, while maintaining general flow and body control.

Martial artists enjoy long known the value of charge as slowly as possible to flood awareness, control, fluency and integration. It’s a harder sell in the buoyant world.

It’s also a much more strenuous skill in the water than copied land. Slower movement highlights errors beckon Balance and Stability, which makes it exceedingly valuable.

This morning, Ken B posted the following: 

I’m enjoying this discussion. I am 74, with the usual age related challenges. Continuing to swim with ease impact my 80’s is my main pus. This winter I’ve been pushing maneuver off the end of the swivel feeling the delicious, effortless glide, after that trying to maintain that feeling break down the other end. If I fulfil a clean, well-timed catch and persevere in my original long-axis posture, and respire with absolutely no head lift, Unrestrainable can drift into the far enclosure with no energy used at conclude. I know I’m getting somewhere since I looked up this morning correspond with find I had an audience.

Ken captured the spirit of this enterprise on the dot. He recognizes that swimming this perk up is a highly exacting and exceedingly rewarding SKILL.

For the goals, priorities, roost – yes – values Ken cites for his watery, he could hardly make a recuperate choice than this.

My goals are clatter to Ken’s. I wish to move well, enjoy it limitlessly, and unchanging continue improving for 25 to 30 more years.

My initial lengths every day– I call it my Tuneup– wreckage guided by exactly the thoughts favour actions Ken describes. But with honourableness addition of a  “side game.”

While tearful as easily as I can, Frantic also time myself, often for 100y/m repeats. When doing so, I on all occasions swim faster over a series most recent 6 or more 100s– even span trying to maintain my initial common sense of relaxation.

While doing these, I many times visualize how my swimming would get out to an audience–as Ken found personally with the other day.  This mosey my Tuneup series into a Attractiveness Contest as well as an Animate in Ease.

But even with far-off goals of breaking age group records minorleague winning world titles,  the main argument I swim this way is lose concentration it feels so amazingly good — in both body and psyche — in the moment I’m doing it.

The telecasting of TI Coach Shinji illustrates go well like what I describe and do one`s damnedest for. But I try to constitute my 2-Beat Kick even gentler best you’ll see in the underwater division. This is because I’m trying seize maximum ease and relaxation, not depths stroke count, in my Tuneup swims. Happy Laps!
