POSE SWIMMING: NEW APPROACH TO SWIMMING
1. REMEMBER GRAVITY. If you thought that since this is swimming there's gonna be no talk about that whole "gravity thing" - think again. Gravity is here to stay, at least for now we hope. If gravity goes - so will we. We feel it's presence and work through our own body weight. But remember that our body weight is not our body mass. Our body weight plays a significant role in our movement - any movement. Swimming is no exception.
Contrary to the traditional view of swimming technique as a "pull arm through a specific trajectory/push the water with lots of force" movement, in Pose Method swimming, just like Pose running, is viewed as a "change of support" movement. We can't really grab the water or pull on it to move forward, but we can provide support for our body moving forward.
2. FORGET EVERYTHING ELSE. Considering everything said above, you can already see that the Pose Swimming technique is not like other currently known and used swimming techniques. No other swimming technique includes gravity into the equation. But that's not the only thing that sets the Pose Method of Swimming apart, so forget everything else you were taught before and try to see swimming in a new light, because that will allow you to ...
3. SWIM LIKE NEVER BEFORE. That is a guarantee. You will be better, you will be faster, you will minimize your efforts and maximize your return on investment. Pose Running has been proven scientifically to reduce impact on knees by 50% and there a volumes of recorded evidence of time improvement among runners of all levels. While there's been no scientific research done on Pose Swimming as of yet, members of National Triathlon teams are already using the Pose Method of Swimming.
