Stop Sinking: How to get your Hips up! Part 1
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 тра 2019
- If your hips are sinking when you are swimming, give this dry land practice a try, then apply it to your front float when you push off the wall. Using "cat" and "cow" to practice spinal and pelvic flexion then extention. My legs sink like rocks, but that doesn't mean my hips have to. Give this a go. Watch for my next video-applying this practice in the water.

OMG.!!! This is the best possible explanation anyone can give. I have heard coaches say "squeeze your butt" and I never understood how except when I am on the brink of bursting to pee but that was not something I could produce voluntarily. The pelvic extension that the coach explains here is what it is. I feel like I have been enlightened.
Thanks I'll try this . Very good clear explanation I can tell you instruct people for a living . No wasted words . Awesome for people like me that have mental disability and get confused easily. I've been struggling trying to work on technique with a swimming app I downloaded my hips keep falling on my stomach and my back especially this is great .
Thank you.
Thank you! I have terrible sinking legs
Yes, hips dropping is a challenge, but it can be changed! Another test, when you use pull buoy your hips come up-but also notice that the head/chest also go down or lower in the water. You can use that information from the pull buoy to your advantage-hips up means chest down with out over extending the upper spine.
Wellcome
I too learned something and looking forward to trying it. A suggestion on presentation though. It was difficult for me to hear what you were saying due to the poor audio environment you are in. Is there a mic you could use? I could see what you were saying so I was still helped. It was a struggle hearing it. But good stuff anyway. Thanks.
Thank you for the feedback Dennis.
Please give the link of your next video for practising the drill in water. I can't find it in this channel

@@TriathlonSkills-SimpleSwims grateful to you... Thanks a lot 💕🙏💕
A stronger core can help the hips in staying up better?
Hi Alwyn, yes. It is about keeping the spine stable, so draw the belly in and tighten the butt a little. Keep in mind the legs may go down, but press the hips up if this happens, keep the nose pointing straight down. Don't be afraid to actually lift the leg up toward the surface as the other kicks down-more like a pendulum.
@@TriathlonSkills-SimpleSwims thank you for the guidance!
@@TriathlonSkills-SimpleSwims for an experienced swimmer, perhaps over time the need to explicitly draw the belly or tighten the butt would go away?
As the body would learn/adjust over time to strengthen in the right areas to keep the correct posture in the water?
I'm temporarily using flippers to prevent my legs from sinking and to keep the right posture, to get my body used to it. Could this help? or might have negative consequences? please advise.
@@alwynpereira7363 the abs and glute muscles are the core which would always be working whether swimming, sitting, standing, walking , etc. It may feel like work at first to be sure the muscles are activated, but then you may not need to give so much attention because the muscles are working and ideally also stronger. Flippers can be helpful provided your kick motion is also correct. YOu want to be sure you are using or targeting the right muscles. Fins can help and they can also "mask" weaknesses. If you use fins, don't use them the entire time. Also, do work on the floor to target those muscles.
Neat🎶🏊🏼
When i use a kickboard to practice kicking my hips sink...how do i correct this
The kick board elevates your upper body, you will have to extend your spine to be able to kick on the board AND keep your hips up. Another option is to skip the kick board but instead do the "front float" as you practice the kick. Check out my "front float" drill on youtube.
