Freestyle swimming with kick board two or three pull

 

Freestyle swimming with a kickboard using a three-pull and breath technique is a great way to improve your freestyle stroke efficiency and breathing rhythm.

Here’s how you can execute it:

Equipment:

You’ll need a swimming pool, a kickboard, and proper swim attire.

Positioning:

Hold the kickboard out in front of you with your arms fully extended. Your body should be horizontal in the water, with your face down and the kickboard providing buoyancy to keep your upper body afloat.

Kick:

Begin kicking your legs with a steady and rhythmic motion. Your legs should remain relatively straight with a slight bend at the knees. The kickboard helps to keep your upper body stable as you kick.

Three Pulls:

Perform two or three freestyle arm strokes (pulls) while holding onto the kickboard. Each arm stroke consists of reaching forward with one arm, pulling it down and back alongside your body, and then recovering it back to the starting position above the water.

Breathing:

After completing the two or third arm stroke, turn your head to the side to take a breath. Try to time your breath so that you inhale as your arm exits the water during the recovery phase. You can alternate which side you breathe on with each set of three pulls to balance your breathing pattern.

Repeat:

Continue kicking with the kickboard while performing sets of two or three arm pulls and breathing. Focus on maintaining a smooth and steady rhythm with your kicks and strokes.

Practice:

Consistent practice of this technique will help improve your freestyle stroke efficiency, breathing control, and overall swimming performance.

Remember to always prioritize proper form and technique to get the most out of your swim workouts and reduce the risk of injury. If you’re new to swimming or unsure about your technique, consider working with a certified swim instructor for guidance and feedback.
