Buildings and Swimming
Buildings and Swimming
- For people who still read this blog! :D
- All important and more confidential details disseminated by email!
Ever wondered how buildings and swimming are related?
Now, buildings around us are an everyday occurrence that we may take for granted - but swimming and buildings have very much in common. The buildings around us, be it a simple rest-stop along an expressway or an amazingly tall skyscraper downtown, are human creation, and they usually cannot be built in one day. Perhaps, it took weeks, months or even years of conceptualizing the idea, creating the product, and finally, construction of the building before the final masterpiece could be unveiled.
Rome was not built in a day
To see desirable results, we need a combination of determination, time and teamwork. Just like in swimming, to ready ourselves for the Nationals, we need to prepare hard for it, way before the time calls us to step up onto the starting blocks. And in order to have confidence of ourselves at our moment, we need to train hard and train smart as one team.
Every single moment that we spent together, as a team and on the team, whether in or out of the pool will always leave an impact behind. Every single effort no matter how small, will always imprint its impression behind, just like how a brick, a pillar or even a steel bar are all parts essential in the holding up the building. The sudden disappearance of a brick, the subtle disintegration of a pillar and even the slightest corrosion of a ill-maintained steel bar are all potholes that can be fallen into; opportunity for the collapse of the structure.
But for every single brick that was laid properly, every single pillar that was constructed at the correct time and space, the building will be able to withstand itself and the test of time. For every step that we take correctly in building up our foundation, what we reap may be bountiful beyond our imaginations.
Pillars of buildings; building blocks in swimmers
For a swimmer, it is crucial to train hard and well for every single training session.
Both swimming (mon ge+wed csc) and land trainings (fri school gym) should be developed around 9 aspects of general fitness, namely -
1. Strength - the extent to which muscles can exert force by contracting against resistance
2. Power - the ability to exert maximum muscular contraction instantly in an explosive burst of movements
3. Agility - the ability to perform a series of explosive power movements in rapid succession
4. Balance - the ability to control the body's position while moving in water
5. Flexibility - the ability to achieve an extended range of motion without being impeded by excess tissue
6. Muscle Endurance - muscle's ability to perform sustained work
7. Cardiovascular Endurance - the heart's ability to deliver blood to working muscles and their ability to use it
8. Strength Endurance - a muscle's ability to perform a maximum contracture time after time
9. Coordination - the ability to integrate the above listed components so that effective movements are achieved. This is in addition to the coordination of strokes, which are important in mastering of swim techniques,
Yet, with every training session, there is a different purpose. And in the sets that we do, definitely some aspects of fitness will be emphasized more than others. But eventually, before the Nationals, hopefully these 9 aspects can be built up to a higher level than what we currently have now.
These 9 aspect of fitness are like building blocks in a swimmer; pillars of a building. You may be wondering how flexibility and agility helps in swimming, but for the matter of fact, it does. For instance, in performing the tumble-turn in longer distances, agility (being the ability to perform a series of explosive power movements in rapid succession) is essential in positioning how we turn and to where we turn to.
But these aspects of fitness itself does not stand on its own, just like how a building cannot stand on its own on one pillar, agility needs to be developed in tune with the other aspects of fitness - strength, power, agility, balance, flexibility, muscle endurance, cardiovascular endurance, strength endurance and coordintation. One cannot do without the other and each of them share an intimate and strong relationship with each other.
A simple illustration of how the 9 aspects could be train are -
1. Strength - Weights in gyms, sprints in swimming
2. Power - Fast Pulling with hand paddles (CSC), sprints in swimming
3. Agility - Practicing the turn
4. Balance - Controlling the body while swimming (ie.: drills)
5. Flexibility - Practicing the turn, drills
6. Muscle Endurance - Land training and doing time-interval swimming sets
7. Cardiovascular Endurance - Running long distances (ie.:4.8km) and doing time-interval swimming sets (longer ones)
8. Strength Endurance - Weights in gyms, Land exercises (ie.: front hold, back hold), Sprints in swimming
9. Coordination - Stroke techniques
The above are not necessarily limited and can be expanded upon.
Each set a brick. Each aspect of fitness a pillar. The building will be your reward.
Every set, be it in gym, land or in the pool will eventually emphasize on one, if not more than 1 aspect of fitness. Emphasize in this case suggests that all 9 aspects of fitness are actually being subtly developed, but there are one (or more) aspects of fitness that will be more greatly developed than the rest. And this will depend on the specialty of the set.
As Harry will be taking charge of land and gym, he will be create the sets for us to accomplish during the time for land. As for swimming, I'll be creating the sets, with the aid of the training coordinators as well as feedback from yall. And also, i may occasionally send to yall various stuff through email (some of them can be quite random, but still relevant) which can be in the form of videos to even good swimming techniques and strategies on how to improve your strokes etc. Some of the materials are already included in the VJC Swim Team attachment in the previous email to yall (the email which includes contact details of everyone in the team)
For the videos, there will be a selection of various swimming techniques (of each competitive swimming strokes), drills, starts, finishes and even past competitions that will be available online via our team's Youtube Channel Playlist.
The inspiration for this idea actually came from the track team, when i saw how they'd occasionally spend some of their training time sitting together in a room in the comp lab watching videos of people running and their techniques. While we may not have the time to come together as a team to watch the many swimming videos that are floating about out there, an alternative i thought perhaps it would be good to create a playlist on our team's Youtube channel of the various swim techniques that are available online.
And you can go and watch it during your own freetime (and rewatch it again when you've a brainwave or just plain bored) The link is as follows:
http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=vjcswimteam&view=playlists
The link will also be available on the swim team blog. Our swim team blog is http://www.vjcswimteam.blogspot.com
You may also log in to the Youtube swim team account and add more videos that you've found interesting/useful. The list of videos can change from time to time and is not limited to those that are already selected in the playlist currently.
You may also browse through other videos that are not already in the playlist. The videos can be referenced as a guide, but it is up to you to choose whether to try out what those people have said (or done) It really depends on your own individual preference of which technique/swim style works best too. You can even experiment about those techniques during the trainings, and maybe as a result, you could become even faster! (hopefully not slower though)
Understanding the building: The nature of a swimming sets
And since we are spending a significant amount of our time on coming for 3 team sessions, hence, it is important to understand what building you are building; how and why you're swimming certain sets.
Unless it's a specialized training session, each swimming session should generally have some, if not all of the following elements (not always in the listed order below) -
* a warm-up
* drilling (swimming technique work)
* kicking
* pulling
* a main set (sometimes this may stretch quite long ie.: 1hr etc)
* a loosen or warm-down
The swim workouts are designed to take between 90-minutes and 120-minutes. And never skip the loosen at the end of the workout; you may use that as one last bit of technique workout before you leave Geylang East at the end of the training.
You are your control in how hard or fast you swim and what kind of swim strokes you are doing while swimming the training sessions planned. But normally the amount of rest per swim will limit your top-end speed on the swim workout (in other words, the training sets you'd do usually only allows you to go below what you're actually capable of doing in an actual time-trial/competition) Hence, learning how to pace is an essential in swimming, whether you're doing the sprints, mid-d or long distance.
There are five terms generally used for swimming trainings -
1. Easy - Literally, it means do not go fast. Focus on the strokes if you can (about 50% of what you're capable)
2. Moderate - The most common speed in training generally used for a lot of sets. In other words, go at a speed between easy and fast (about 60% to 70% of what you're capable)
3. Fast - Go hard. Go Fast. Feel tired. (Go about 70% to 80% of what you're capable
4. Sprint - Go very hard. Go very Fast. Feel very tired (but if there's recovery, you're supposed to feel recovered after the sprint - go about 80% to 95% of what you're capable)
5. All out - Give it all you got, as if you're sprinting in a competition. Try to do your personal best (pb) or even better it.
And also, a few things to note too -
* The more rest you get, the faster the swim.
* Generally, and usually, the early parts of a workout should always be easy to moderate and very deliberate. Use your best technique.
* SAFETY FIRST. If you don't feel well, stop. If you feel weird or unconscious in any way, stop. Only continue when you're sure you're okay. Your life, health and your safety is of the upmost importance.
* You get to be a better swimmer by recovering from the workouts you do, not by doing more and more swimming without resting and recovering from that swimming.
* Have fun with the workouts.
* Change the strokes you are doing from time to time, try new things, and don't get caught in a rut.
* Mr Goh is NOT the teacher-in-charge for Monday's GE training. No teacher is. Take care of your stuff and yourself well!
Terminology
eg.: 6x200m Fast Freestyle Pulling on 04:00 means you do a fast pulling in freestyle stroke for 200m. When you've finished and 4mins is up, you repeat again, until you've done 6.
eg.: 200m Sprints (04:00), 100m easy (04:00), 3x100m Sprints (02:00 each), 100m easy (04:00), 4x50m Sprints (01:30), 100m easy (04:00) means
You sprint 200m and have to make it under 4mins. Then you go for 100m easy swim on 4mins. Then when that time is up, you'd do sprints for 3x100m on 02:00 each 100m. Then when you've finished the sprints, you go for 100m easy swim on 4mins. Then when that time is up, you'd do sprints for 4x50m on 01:30. Then when you've finished the sprints, you go for 100m easy swim on 4mins.
Training coordinators
Both Lucas and Sheena Ong are my training coordinators for swimming. Depending on the nature of the swimming set, the three of us will be generally be leading three lanes of swimmers, unless another person is stronger in that swimming set diagnosed, then he/she will help take over to lead for that set.
Besides leading, they will be constantly involved in being my eyes and ears in the reviewing of swimming sets that i've created for each swimming training. For example, if a set is too long/tough or too short/slow, they will feedback and moderation of the sets will take place. Besides that, if they have sets/strokes/technique etc they think would be beneficial for the team, they will also suggest and we'll find a way to assimilate it as part of the next swimming training session planned.
NOTE: During trainings where timetable prohibits either or all of the training coordinators from coming from training, Harry - Team Affairs IC (unless his timings are affected, then in which case Ryan will take charge of swim sets) will be leading the swim sessions.
Carpe diem
However, we are all humans and the sets we had designed may not be perfect at times. Along the way, we could err in the sense that sets design are either too easy (ie.: you feel frustrated in not training hard) or too too tooo hard (ie.: you feel freaking angry at the person who created it - whoops!). So seize the day and make your voice heard! We are really counting on everyone in the team to play a part too and give constructive criticism or whacky ideas that can help propel, elevate and bring our team up to greater heights.
Don't waste your time or time will waste you
Tomorrow will be the 6th official Geylang East training session for the senior swimmers and 2nd for the 2009 batch of swimmers.
And Nationals will be a short but intensive road ahead. Nationals will start on the 20th April (1st day of heats) and should end by 29th April (last day of Finals)
According to Sheena S, ideally, training should peak between 4-6 weeks before Nationals but it may depend on other factors like coach and individual. However when our calling is near, we have to respond to it, and peak at our correct time for maximum benefit. In whatever the short time that we have left, in the limited funds that we may have in our team, and in the environmental conditions that may prevent us from achieving who we can really achieve, the odds are definately stacked against us. Faced with a daunting competition in schools all over, we really have to put in our mind, heart and souls into the time that we spent as a team and train hard together.
And make it worth the while.
For as individuals, we can go fast. But as a team, we can go far.
Yup that's all.
See ya soon!
