Swim Team!!?
I want to join this swim team at the YMCA. I have never done this before. What does practice consist of and what exactly do u wear??
Answers:
Should I wear anything over my speedo to and from the pool(like shorts or something)?
Each Y team is different. Wear jammers (you should be able to get them at a sporting store or offline) or some people wear swim trunks and googles. Our Y team breaks down into age groups and then lanes according to ability. Practices are made to be easy in the begining and grow harder. If you can swim it all you Should be fine at a Y swim team. The Y around here is very inviting. If you are still unsure check with the aquatics director.. maybe the team you would like to join has a trial/rookie week!How wide are the breaststroke kicks suppose to be?
At my practices we do pilates and we do laps. Try to build up your arms and chest. I suggest crunches and push ups.I need some help maybe u can help?
your ymca has a swim team during the winter? on our y team we do stretches on our own and then swim. but on our school team we run stretch and then swim. i woud wear a regular bathing suit then buy a jammer.later.Practice consists of doing continuous laps of 4 different strokes: freestyle (crawlstroke), breastroke, backstroke, and butterfly. Sometimes you do long distances, and sometimes you just do small, but sprinted distances. You work on flipturns (flipping on the wall and pushing off) and diving off the blocks.
You need to wear a one-piece bathing suit. Also have a pair or two of goggles (it is always good to have an extra-they break and leak easily!). You can get these at any sports store, along with your cap, which is also a necessity if you have long hair. This is just a rubber like cap that covers your hair and keeps it out of the way. This is all you need. Oh, and a towel of course.!
Good luck with swimming. It is tons of fun, and great exercise!
