Back technology
The backstroke is a technique that appears simpler at first glance, but in practice requires the utmost precision . A stable position in the water, a calm head position and even coordination of the arm stroke and leg stroke are the basis for a clean swimming style. In this course, prospective swimming coaches learn how to methodically build up the basics and introduce swimmers to this technique step by step.
In addition to teaching the movement phases, the focus is on correct breathing, which can be done without forced breathing in the backstroke. Participants learn how to train the rhythm between arm stroke and leg stroke with targeted exercises and how to recognize and correct typical errors such as sinking hips, unsteady head position or asymmetrical leg stroke.
In addition, backstroke is treated as a balancing technique. It is not only suitable for technique training, but also for regeneration and active recovery, especially for triathletes and frequent swimmers. Participants learn how to integrate backstroke into training sessions in a meaningful way, whether as a cool-down, in combination with other strokes or as a playful exercise for motivation.
