When swimming, I and my students are in a Superman like pose most of the time.  In freestyle, an arm is extended as we lay on our side.  We only come out of our Superman pose when we are switching to pose on the other side.

Whether a swimmer is fast or slow, every freestyle stroke has strength, glide and flight.  In fact, slower swimmers hold the pose and glide longer, perhaps as long as two seconds.  While faster swimmers hold the Superman pose for less than a second.

It’s beautiful and strong to swim down the pool as one makes flying, gliding motions.

If you would like to know and learn how this feels, please come to Atlanta or one of my workshops on my schedule to discover how great swimming can be.
