Technique problem/solution flow chart.

Butterfly
- I just feel slow
1) Are hips popping out each kick?
2) Is it your pull making you slow? (Check pull flowchart)
3) Is it your kick making you slow? (Check kick flowchart)
3) Are you reaching hands in front of shoulders or entering wide?



Backstroke
-KICK is slow
1) Are you streamlined? (Ribs in, hips/base of neck/quads @ surface)
2) Are your feet pointed too much/too little? (Feet should be pointed comfortably with 7/10 TONE)
3) Are you kicking with BOTH knee and hip simultaneously? (The knee and hip should be timed simultaneously for maximum power through each kick. This allows for BIG POWER with a LITTLE KICK)

-I feel weak when pulling
1) Is your body position correct? (Base of neck/hips at surface)

-I can't feel resistance when pulling
1) Is your body position correct? (Base of neck/hips at surface. If not correct angles have all probably changed causing the problem)
2) Are you anchoring arm with a SNAP of the base of hips using the cross over kicks.
3) Are you leading with the ELBOW through the pull with the hand following closely behind?

-JUST FEEL SLOW (not pull or kick then probably Body Position)

-Can't get intensity/Heart Rate up?
