Tumble turn-technique

Wow what a great website, I have found Sportplan an important tool...
Monique

DESCRIPTION

In shallow end; practise the swim into the wall but not completing the tumble turn, emphasising the last arm stroke taken.

Next using the noodle, hold each end of the noodle and swimmers take a big breath and exhale through the nose, push off the bottom of the pool to perform the tumble turn without letting go of the noodle.

Swim into the wall without slowing down, performing the final arm pull and incorperating the fast turn into the tumble turn.

Organisational: Swimmers take turns to swim into the wall

Coaching points: reach arm far froward into the water for maximal hold on the water. For the noodle drill, give the swimmers a couple of attempts at this and to progress the swimmers ask them to speed it up. Try to jump straight through the noodle, if the feet get caught up in the noodle then emphasise the fact that a smaller tuck is needed.
