iPod Coach - Swim Videos Plan for iPod and Windows
3 weeks - $50.00
This three week training plan is designed as a tool for COACHES, to help triathletes and beginning swimmers who want to improve their swimming, with video guidance for individual drills and techniques with quality demonstration of the skills. The videos are even iPod compatible!
This plan and videos are great for anyone looking to improve on their swim skills, but especially those who may not have access to a coach on deck, or aren’t in a masters program. This also works great with clients around the world, who you want to show specific drills to.
The plan is laid out with a single drill and video each day, but the drills can be thrown into a single practice, and the videos can be saved, then attached to written workouts to help better show the drills which clients may have trouble conceptualizing, (i.e. sculling)
**PLEASE BE SURE TO READ THE DESCRIPTION DOCUMENT, AND TEST TO MAKE SURE THE VIDEOS ARE PLAYABLE ON YOUR COMPUTER!!!

Workout #1 : Other
Planned Time: 0:00:00
Hello COACHES! Thanks for purchasing this Swim Skill Video Plan from Coach Jim Vance. This plan is designed to help coaches work with athletes to develop coordination and feel in the water. To maximize the effectiveness of the drills here, they should be practiced regularly, and you should look for the feel of "pressure" against your hands and forearms. This "pressure" is the key to sculling, and swimming fast. Though the plan is listed with a single drill on each day, you can combine them and use them as often as you'd like. Feel free to use the videos as you'd like, adding them to your file library, to help explain and demonstrate skills to your athletes. You can use all the videos, or just some of them, according to the abilities and needs of each your individual clients. The videos are both Windows Media and iPod Video compatible, so athletes can take the videos to the pool with them!
Workout #2 : Swim
Planned Time: 0:00:00
Sculling - Front of the body - While face down, sweep your hands left and right through the water, arms extended out in front of you. Your hands act like propeller blades, and subtle changes in hand pitch and speed will change your body position and speed. Use these changes to propel your body, and feel the water. Apply this feel and pressure to your freestyle stroke.
Workout #3 : Swim
Planned Time: 0:00:00
For additional challenge, do it feet first, going backward! (See tomorrow's video demonstration)
Workout #4 : Swim
Planned Time: 0:00:00
Sculling - Backward, Front - Starting on your stomach, do a front scull with arms extended, but moving feet first down the pool. Try to hold body position high near the surface of the water.
Workout #5 : Swim
Planned Time: 0:00:00
Sculling - Chest - Same as sculling at the front, but now you position your hands in line with your chest and shoulders. Your elbows should remain high and near the surface of the water. Propel yourself forward with the sweeping motions of the hands and forearms.
Workout #6 : Swim
Planned Time: 0:00:00
For additional challenge, do it feet first, going backward!
Workout #7 : Swim
Planned Time: 0:00:00
Sculling - Hips - Same as sculling at the front and chest, but now you position your hands in line with your hips. Your elbows should remain high and near the surface of the water, upper arms near the ribs. Propel yourself with the sweeping motion of the hands, much like you get propulsion from the finish of the stroke.
Workout #8 : Swim
Planned Time: 0:00:00
For additional challenge, do it feet first, going backward!
Workout #9 : Swim
Planned Time: 0:00:00
Sculling - Front of the body - ON BACK AND FEET FIRST. This is the same as the front scull, but now you are on your back, arms extended and headed down the pool feet-first. Keep the arms extended and body position high, on the surface of the water, not letting legs or hips drop. Engage core to hold position.
