4pm...i'll msg u my no in pm..if u wanna join jus sms me..

this tered still at first page so less pipu swim ar..

guys, any good internet link to learn how to breath correctly while doing free style?

lol, to breath correctly, just rotate ur head 90 degree with moving ur shoulder. eg. rotate to right without moving ur shoulder to breath. ur head doesn't go up therefore ur leg won't go down. once ur head lifted from water, ur leg started to drop and dragging u swim smoothly..

I think this evening I'll go 3k to swim again..probably at 6pm but only can confirm later

ic, 3k open till what time?? ur working place very close to 3k inn??

haha i guess so unlike previous version in 2007 so many kaki swimming aiks

I just swam yesterday.. cant finished my coach's program =(
next time need to allocate 1.5hrs..

where did u swim? and mind to share the program ur coach gip u 1?

Bukit Jalil
200m warm up
50mx4 snorkel + fin one hand forward position, one hand at torso, face look down
50mx4 snorkel one hand forward position, one hand at torso, face look down
(25m sprint + 25m easy swim towards other end
50m sprint
100m sprint ) x6 (only did 4)
400m cooldown (only did 300)

the sprint is difficult for me, cant do 100m sprint.. at 50m already felt liked ying

using front crawl for all the above? snorkel position only use flutter kick to swim forward while hand position remain not move?

nice swim gear u got thr.

haha quite an investment, but the snorkel and fits i use it to snorkle in perhentian and tioman too..
all front crawl.. was not taught how to swim other style lol

good for you..
I am still trying how to breath correctly for front crawl(freestyle)

love those easy swims. haha!

pro swimmer spotted

haha not really. im a water polo player.

hi everyone... im new in swimming.
right now i'm planning to get a goggle, i need advice from you all and where can i buy it?
erm, currently i swim without goggle..
my range is below rm100.. and maybe speedo brand will be great

thanks

you can buy it in sun paradise. i would recommend View, or Arena. i usually use RM50-60 View goggles. since you're new in swimming, i would suggest you start frm cheaper price. the expensive goggles are for competition and you wont feel comfortable if you wear it for the first time.

thanks for the quick reply bro.
erm, how about speedo brand?
btw, i'm staying in Klang, which shop is nearer to me that i can buy?

oh mai... water polo player usually hot and muscular 1.. and lot woman will shout for them.. ayam jelly

do you need good goggles or you just need one that you can 'depend on'? you can just buy it in jusco bukit raja for cheap ones. KEC also selling.. normally if you go for swimming, the place got stalls that sells goggles and other stuff.
there's one speedo shop in empire gallery.

Cannot confirm yet cos hor vy sleepy...I sked I fall asleep while driving to the pool...but if I go I think will be around 7pm,update u by 4pm ok?

lol, ok. take ur time..

helo, i just bought a goggle, view/tabata brand at bukit tinggi sun paradise. Cost me around 50rm.. There is no speedo brand, but acording to the salesman, speedo already change the product name to TYR.

really? i doubt abt that. u try wiki TYR and speedo, both is different brand.

swim in jalil?? I only swim in mont kiara RSC club. Chin Wu not convenient for me... else can join u guys swim.

This post has been edited by autumn2: May 24 2012, 09:13 PM

Not sure lor like Tis mayb tyr bought over speedo?dunno eh

nonononononononononoonon.... totally different thing. even their swimsuit designs are super different..unless it's a really recent recent news.. but no.

yes, my new goggle fit me well... I like

great

lol, impossible ba. but 1 thing for sure is royal sporting house or studio r suddenly discontinue selling speedo and change to tyr. so speedo only can be found at those place I mentioned before..

hey, i saw one in setia city mall. which is a great relief to me. haha.. it's a great mall.

speedo outlet? new shopping mall is it?

autumn, u know butterfly stroke?

yeah. i used to do the swimming butterfly stroke but now it's water polo butterfly stroke. which is a bit different in the kicking. that's all..

yeah new shopping mall in setia alam.

This post has been edited by autumn2: May 24 2012, 11:56 PM

so what's the hint for breathing and arm pushing backward? I find that both of this is tiring after 25m perhaps my technique is wrong.. I breath every stroke

the usual ones would be kick twice (dolphin kicks), do a wave-like body motion, then move your hands like you're shaping a round lantern or the first curve or a woman's body. after completing one round, push your hand downwards to push your body up. then breathe. (lol.. it's kinda hard to explain in words.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLn218BD-lQ

the hint would be the wave-like/snake-like body motion.

sometimes you dont have to breathe once every stroke, you can do two strokes and breathe at once.

This post has been edited by autumn2: May 25 2012, 12:20 AM

lol, this video I saw plenty times liao. kicking I think is fine, as I kick twice, strong first kick and 2nd tiny kick for the purpose to come out and breath. for the arm side, what's the purpose to push the water? I do forming a woman body curve but when doing this the arm is not stretch and hardly push to move forward. if I stretch my arm and straight push behind, then my hand would be tiring and become weaker and weaker after each stroke.

for breathing part, exhale part seem incorrect as when my head surface I still haven't completely exhale and this cause me have no time to inhale before head go back into water..

wow, everybody keep talking about skill.... Best la...
May i know, do swimming can make us fit? How bout body shape?

want fit body ar I think swimming quite hard to achieve that. even Michael Phelps his body shape also not very muscular 1. it'll stop growing at certain limit and u need to carry dumbbell or any weight lifting workout to grow ur muscle. the resistance u face at water is same, weight training u can increase the resistance by put on the weight of dumbbell or equipment..

you don't need too muscular to be good athletically, when you are too bulky you will hinder away from performances

btw you don't have to swim like him haha, can also slit in time to do weight training in between.

sad royal sporting house stop carrying speedo, they usually have discount during mega sales, speedo outlet itself almost never have promotional on going at all

ohh... I hope one day can have a slim body with a shape due to swimming
anyone here from klang or shah alam? Can share where can i find a swimming pool around here?

swimmers have the best body
of course fit

Added on May 25, 2012, 1:02 pmit's like that. swimming butterfly is tiring. at first, you find it hard to bring up your arms. but once your get used to it, and get used to the flow of the body, you can bring up both your arms and you find that it's not as hard. do more push ups to strengthen your arm muscle. oh yeah. a flyer ( good in butterfly stroke) usually have big and nice arms broader shoulder.
when you almost finish forming woman's body curve, push down your hands and lift up your forearm ( in line with your shoulder) and then only spread out your lower arm and join your hand together.

your hands must be strong enough to be able to push the water so that you lift your (upper) body higher.

Added on May 25, 2012, 1:04 pmim from klang. swimming pools that i know of - pusat aquatic darul ehsan. KEC. Kelab Shah Alam Selangor above the hill near pusat aquatic darul ehsan. Royal Klang Club near Istana. Selangor Coast Club near the carefour.

Added on May 27, 2012, 3:59 pmanyone know is there any public swimming pool in semenyih area?

This post has been edited by peace2all: May 27 2012, 03:59 PM

okay for diving theres a DIVE com.......as for swimming is there any such thing as swimming watch or anything like the NIKE+ thingy that helps u keep track ur pace etc , i just wonder

chin woo swimming pool lane divider was laid parallel to its width. so anyone know the width of the pool? wanna keep track the distance of swimming..

the width of the swimming pool is usually 25m.
the length, 50 m.

for olympic size.

oh, thanks.

but im not sure though, u can google it.

think there's no standard width. 3k inn is 6 lane so i suppose is 10m. but chin woo pool's width seems longer.

yesterday i swam at 3k inn. think every monday there'll divide 1/3 of pool reserve for some kid's training session. those kids really swim very good neh, know all the stroke.
