Treading water, or standing swimming, is a swimming technique of great practical value, and can be used as a simple swimming method for beginner swimmers to master. Learning to tread water is the most basic knowledge and skill for water safety and self-rescue. It is widely used in daily life and in the military, such as holding objects and swimming in, observing on the surface of the water, rescuing drowning people, resting in the water, shooting in the water and so on.
Treading water is a practical value of swimming technology, also known as "standing swim". In the beginning of swimming to master this technology can play a role in self-help. Such as: choking and other temporary situation occurs, the use of treading water technology can remove obstacles in a timely manner, in daily life, such as holding things across the river, to avoid the rapids, rescue drowning people and other use of this technology. In the military is more widely used, such as: reconnaissance across the river, water support heavy objects.
Description
Treading water when the upper body in the water is almost in an upright position. Two legs bent knees apart, closed hip, leg movement range is small, and pay attention to the leg after closing the foot, so that the calf and the inside of the foot to the water; to the side of the lower stirrups clip water, produce upward buoyancy so that the body can float in the water in the water upright. Both legs are not yet completely stirrups straight in time to collect the leg, the action can not pause, must be done consistently. The route of stomping and retracting of the feet is basically oval, and the whole leg movement is similar to the breaststroke leg, so it can be used as a kind of auxiliary practice in the process of learning breaststroke. There are two kinds of leg movements, the two legs can be alternately stirred and clamped the water, or stirred and clamped the water at the same time, the former body undulation is small, the coordination requirements are high, so it is difficult, the latter is the two legs stirred and clamped the water at the same time, which is close to the breaststroke leg, especially after learning breaststroke technique, which is easier to master.
The movement of arm is relatively simple. Both arms are naturally bent at the front side of the body, and both hands and forearms do outward and inward lateral strokes in front of the chest to keep the body in a stable and upright position, and the torso should be relaxed, and the arm movement is mainly consistent with the legs, so pay attention to the rhythm of the movement, and the movement shouldn't be too big or too hard, and keep the natural breathing and the coordination of the movement.
Legs and arms should be consistent, generally a leg stirrups clamp, hand dial water once. If you use two legs alternately stirrup clip with, generally hand and leg at the same time non-stop action.
Breathing while treading water is naturally coordinated with the rhythm of arm and leg movements.
After mastering the technique of treading water in place, you can do forward, sideways and backward treading water. The body is slightly tilted with the direction of swimming, and the direction of the legs and arms are also slightly changed. Swimming forward, the two legs slightly to the back side of the pedal water, two arms and wrists to the back of the water, swimming backward, the legs and hands of the direction of force and the opposite direction of forward. When swimming to the side, the swimming direction of the opposite side of the leg stirrups and hand water amplitude increase.
