Boat with One Paddle
Description: One arm holds the board, the other arm performs a long freestyle stroke. Legs work continuously.
Technical Goal: Connection between arm stroke and breathing in freestyle swimming.
Coach’s Message: “One paddle pushes, the legs help!”
Game: The boat moves using only one paddle.
Execution:
- The working arm performs a long stroke.
- Breathing is to the same side as the working arm.
- Swim calmly and with control.
Progression: Repeat the exercise with the other arm.
Observe:
- Short stroke → “Push the water all the way to the hip!”
• Late breathing → “Breathe during the stroke!”
