uSwim, Level 3, Skill 2 - Beginner Freestyle arms how to teach your child to swim, swimming lessons Beginner Freestyle This type of Freestyle is different to what you may see in the Olympics. Catch-up is when the hands meet each other after each stroke, so only one arm is moving at a time. The benefits of teaching catch-up freestyle before teaching Olympic (conventional) Freestyle or Australian Crawl are obvious to those who have done so. Young children find catch-up much easier to comprehend as they are only using one arm at a time. However more importantly, just like Torpedo kicking, catch-up freestyle prepares and strengthens a child's core region so the swimmer can develop a long, powerful freestyle stroke. When children are taught Olympic freestyle too early, the arms begin to thrash around the water and correct breathing technique become difficult to teach. *uSwim does not advocate catch-up for elite training or squad classes. 4 easy steps to Beginner Freestyle 1. Standing arms 2. 2. arms on shoulders 3. Arms on kickboard 4. Catch-up arms At uSwim and Aquatic Achieveres we have found that catch-up freestyle is great stepping stone to developing Freestyle. Catchup strengthens the core region of the body promoting stability in the water and better body control. It also teaches children to keep their front hand high and reaching forward while the other arm is recovering. It is also very beneficial for teaching side breathing, as the swimmer has the core strength to roll on the body's axis and breathe without lifting the head. ta
