Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 118 Slow Freestyle Swimming

In the end, they couldn't wait until tomorrow morning. Not long after dinner, Lao Liang met Yan Xiao and Zhou Zhi at the swimming pool.

Yan Xiao twisted Zhou Zhi to teach him freestyle swimming, even though he had just had a good time by the river in the afternoon, he dragged Zhou Zhi to the swimming pool.

With the competition goggles, Zhou Zhi's freestyle has changed back to the standard "full immersion" style.

The key to the benefits of this swimming style is not fast, but slow. You can use a feeling of Tai Chi, use standard movements, keep your body on the water surface, and ensure a considerable forward speed. In other words, it is stretched, relaxed and efficient. .

After slowing down the movement, it is self-evident for the benefits of experiencing the sense of water, correcting posture, and comprehending skills.

But swimming is different from other sports. Many beginners will sink when their movements are slow, and then the movement will be interrupted when the oxygen is exhausted. This is very unfavorable for comprehending swimming skills.

The swimming pool had just turned on the lights, and the night show had just opened this summer, so there was a possibility of safety risks here, so Lao Liang was very concerned, and brought his daughter to swim after dinner, and cared about the daily arrangements of the venue by the way.

On the way, Lao Liang also educated Liang Hong: "You are a big girl now. I don't care about you when you play football or run. It is still a bit taboo to swim with male classmates in the river. Some shameless sixteen and seven dare to go down the river with bare hooks." , you saw that it’s not good..."

"Cut! It's rare to see them the same!" Liang Hong expressed her disdain.

Lao Liang's heart began to beat again. The meaning behind her daughter's words was that she had seen it after all?

Then I saw a strange sign in the swimming pool, a group of hurried and panicked wild roads, some masters of the county swimming team were also practicing, and the masters were very fast, occupying two swimming lanes to swim back and forth.

But there is a different kind, the movement is very standard, but very slow, as slow as Wu Qin Xi Tai Chi, but the swimming posture is maintained very well. It feels like walking and leisure even if you swim like this for a day, without getting tired.

If you look closely, you can see that the legs in this swimming posture are hardly exerted, and the water is only used to maintain balance. The whole body, including the head, is almost kept below the water level, and only brought out of the water when turning sideways for the third time. , exposing the mouth for ventilation.

The arm-changing action is not an ordinary back cross, but a front cross. The straight arm can wait for the stroke arm to straighten out of the water, become two arms stretched forward side by side, and then slowly turn sideways, driving the previous straight arm to become a stroke arm.

This period of extending the arms forward is the rest time for muscle relaxation. No wonder this kid swims so easily, because there is a rest period in the middle of each movement cycle.

"Director." The coach of the swimming team came to Lao Liang's side: "That kid has some skills."

Full immersion freestyle has not yet been introduced to China, but it does not prevent professionals from seeing its value.

This thing may not be particularly useful for improving competition, but it definitely has extraordinary benefits for beginners to become familiar with water, increase self-confidence, and experience comprehension.

"Sister Yao, go and get..." Lao Liang was about to ask his daughter to fetch the portable video camera that was treasured at home. It was a special reward given by the National Sports Commission to advanced sports individuals across the country.

Just like the golden-spotted-billed swallowtail butterfly specimen produced by the strange teacher Jiang Youlu won the second prize of the national prize and received a shotgun as a reward. The camera is also a special honor of Lao Liang, and it is not usually touched by people.

Then I saw my daughter running to the pool, and when the slow-motion boy reached the end of the swimming lane, he suddenly stretched out his bare feet, and stepped on the head that was about to pop out again.

Following the daughter's hearty giggles, the boy's head popped out of the water again: "Sister Hong, what are you doing! I can't beat you on the shore, so come down if you have the ability!"

"Come down, come down!" Liang Hong took off her big t-shirt, revealing her swimsuit and tall figure, took two steps back and ran forward, and then jumped towards the place where Zhou Zhi was: "Crush me to death, don't care!" !"

"Damn!" Zhou Zhi and Lao Liang exclaimed at the same time, and then Lao Liang saw the kid in the water with a fierce kick and two quick kicks, and then he went to the other swimming lane.

Immediately, there was a black line on the top of the forehead. This girl of my family is too out of touch with boys!
This is not good, alas, very bad...

With a black face, he came to the edge of the swimming lane and squatted down to look at the two people who were splashing water and frolicking with each other. Lao Liang asked gloomily, "Sister Yao, do you want to introduce me? This is student Yan Xiao, right?"

"Ah, he's not, he's an elbow!" Liang Hong turned her head and replied, but before Zhou Zhi's attack was over, Liang Hong was splashed with water again, and immediately turned around screaming and fought back: "Yan Xiao is still on the way, here, There!"

Zhou Zhi had already seen that Lao Liang's complexion was not good, and he didn't dare to play with Liang Hong anymore, floating in the water: "Liang... Uncle... ah Gudu..."

But Liang Hong stretched out his hand and pressed it down again.

"Yaomei!" Even Lao Liang couldn't stand it now, and it's not Yan Xiao, why are you drowning others? !

Liang Hong finally stopped, and Zhou Zhi came out again: "...Bo Hao...cough cough cough cough..."

"Come on, let's talk."

Only then did Zhou Zhi and Liang Hong crawl towards the pool. Zhou Zhi climbed up first, and was about to bow to Lao Liang, when Liang Hong stretched out his hand from below: "Give me a hand!"

Lao Liang's face suddenly became a little ugly again.

Yan Xiao, who was late, finally arrived, put a hand under Liang Hong's thigh, and shouted: "Sister Hong, I will help you!"

Now that Liang Hong came up, Lao Liang's face immediately turned into smoke and ink, wishing he could crush this kid to death under the swimming pool on the spot.

The girl's legs are something your little green hook can touch casually? !
He couldn't help but snorted secretly, turned around and left.

When we came to the pool, there were some plastic tables and chairs, and there was also a small stall selling beverages, cold cakes and ice powder, which had begun to look like a swimming pool in later generations.

"Sit." Lao Liang pulled a chair away, only to find that Yan Xiao's size and shape are good: "Listen... Liang Hong said you can run very well? Are you good in length?"

"I've been practicing during this vacation, and I feel a little faster again." Yan Xiao said, only now did he know that the person in front of him was a sports boss from Jiachuan County, and he knew that he had just done something stupid.

"Come to the playground tomorrow morning. Let's take a test and see the results."

"Well, thank you, Uncle Liang." Yan Xiao was still clever, and didn't judge people by skin color like Zhou Zhi did, and knew to call Lao Liang younger.

"You all sit down! Old Liang, can we drink soda?" Liang Hong was generous.

"Go and get it for your classmates." Old Liang looked at Zhou Zhi again: "You are Zhou Zhi."

"Yes, Uncle Liang." Zhou Zhi also behaved.

"Who did you learn your freestyle from?" Lao Liang asked, "Why do you swim slower than others?"

"Uh..." Zhou Zhi realized that his freestyle was a bit different from the one everyone is taking now, and he didn't expect Lao Liang to be able to pay attention to it: "I floated it myself, I'm not a swimming team Yes, the picture is to be familiar with water, not tired, and relaxed. Because we often go to the river in the afternoon during summer vacation, and we don’t go ashore until seven or eight in the evening.”

"You guys really know how to play..." Lao Liang couldn't help being happy: "Well, come over tomorrow morning, we will test the speed at Xiaoyan's place to see what level you are. You...'slow freestyle', let us I’ll take a video and show it to the comrades in the city and the province to see if it’s worth it.”

"Then you guys keep playing, I have to go and see the lights, that's all."

"Okay, thank you uncle."

After walking two steps, Lao Liang saw his daughter approaching this way with three Coke bottles with straws in her hands. Don’t ask, then she won’t have her own share. When I grow up, some things are different from when I was a child, so I still need to pay attention..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Yan Xiao and Zhou Zhi turning over to dodge to the two sides, and then ran away.

Then I saw my daughter put a soda bottle on the ground, and the rest took one in each hand, pressed the mouth of the soda bottle and chased after her.

There is only a slit left on the mouth of the bottle, and two soda bubbles are spraying out from the inside.

The daughter's hearty laughter spread throughout the swimming pool: "Why hide! You will be clean after diving in a while! Elbow Yan Xiao, stop for me..."

Lao Liang had no choice but to pick up the bottle of Coke that his daughter had put on the ground, and looked up at the sky with a straw in his mouth... This matter, it seems... I really can't blame the two boys...

Early the next morning, everyone came to the big playground. Lao Liang was holding a stopwatch with a notebook and a whistle in his mouth.

When the whistle sounded, a group of people all rushed out, but they were all cheering for Yan Xiao.

Yan Xiao took a big stride, and after 250 meters, there was another small speed increase. When he crossed the finish line, Lao Liang reported the number: "52 seconds eight nine!"

"Also!" Liang Hong, who was wearing a sports vest and shorts, also crossed the finish line just now, grabbed Yan Xiao's hand and raised it high, jumping straight there: "Success!"

The friends crossed the finish line one by one. Zhou Zhi felt that he was about to die, so he bent down and put his hands on his knees: "Huh...how much?"

"52 seconds eighty-nine!" Liang Hong shouted, "It's 53 seconds!"

"Fifty... Huhu... Three seconds... Entered the second level?"

Lao Liang cleared the stopwatch and said to Yan Xiao, "Boy, another five thousand?"

Liang Hong also stood on the starting line: "I will accompany Yan Xiao for four laps first, and you will accompany him later."

"Okay, I'll pick up Sister Hong and accompany her four times!" Fang Wenyu said.

"Then I..." Yang He was still deliberating, but Zhou Zhi rushed to answer, "The monk will also accompany me for four laps! I will take care of the rest!"

Yan Xiao's advantage in the 5000 meters was even more obvious. After running the 400 meters, he started the 5000 meters immediately and scored [-] points.

Zhou Zhi was only responsible for accompanying the final 200-meter sprint, but in the end, Yan Xiao left him behind by a large margin.

Lao Liang is also very satisfied that a wild player can achieve this result. This is definitely a good seed in sports.
