The combination of the words “pulling water” refers to the swimmer’s ability to move the same movement more water, and here actually the main difference between lifting the weight to improve and strengthen the specific muscle of the gravitation.
At the end of the article, we built a sample workout for you to really feel the online improvement quickly by strengthening and elongating specific muscles in swimming.
Why do people make the same mistake of saying that their problem in swimming is they don’t pull water strongly?
If you work with a swimmer for a whole swimming lesson on the pull, (I’m not talking about professional swimmers or Olympic swimmers) you will see that if he doesn’t swim WEST he will swim slower in 25m and with 10% or more stokes.
Most masters swimmers or triathletes create stress when thinking on pulling and stress creates drag in the water, and eventually lets you swim much much slower
Loosening lower back= swimming much fasterIt is always recommended to improve your swimming technique according to the WEST method, as well as to improve your swimming, lower back and also swim much faster.

The full power swimming workout
Sample training to improve muscular strength, recruit motor units and improve swimming speed.
300 slow freestyle breathing every 5 strokes
4X50, between every 50 m 12 triceps pull at the wall
4X50 between every 50 m 12 and biceps pull at the wall
4X50, the first 25m long doggie paddle and the second lap minimum strokes per lap
4X100, every time a 25m work on a triceps with a snorkel(kicking slowly with the legs)
3X100, each time in the first 12.5m biceps pull work legs leading the swim
50 slow
5X100, Between every 100 m 24 pulls at the wall, 12 biceps, 12 triceps, if your exit time is usually 2 minutes to 100 m add 30 seconds for your send off time
4 times 100 m is a pace of 75% last 100 ALLOUT
** The goal of the exercise is to stimulate the muscle all the time and then use the force they created for speed.
3X200 pull buoy and paddles do 24 pulls at the wall (12 biceps , 12 triceps) by the wall
**2 X200 at 75% last 200 m AllOUT
300 slow
