Olimpiyskiy is a legendary sports facility, one of the main attractions of Moscow. The history of the sports complex goes back four decades. It was built for the 1980 Olympic Games and has long been the largest indoor sports facility in Europe.

At the end of 2017, the object was acquired by the Kievskaya Ploshchad group of companies of God Nisanov and Zarakh Iliev. Currently, the holding is carrying out the reconstruction of the complex, which is planned to be completed in 2023.

A multifunctional arena designed for concert, sports and circus events, a space for exhibitions and conferences, a multiplex cinema, a children's entertainment center, an electronic library, a medical diagnostic center, and a planetarium are also planned in the new Olimpiyskiy. Moving panoramic restaurants will operate on its roof.

After the reconstruction, Olimpiyskiy will retain its sports function.

Swimming lessons for adults

Swimming is different from other sports and has its own specifics. In the aquatic environment, without the usual support, the human body acts differently, this promotes mobility and develops the body. Due to the lack of a sense of weight, the support system is unloaded and the physical formation is distributed. Performing repeated movements in a horizontal position, the force of gravity ceases to "press" on the organs and makes them easier for the robot.

Swimming lessons for adults

The swim harmoniously improves the capabilities of the body, positively affecting all organ systems and helps to lose extra pounds. This sport helps to increase the strength of the respiratory muscles, increase ventilation of the lungs, strengthen the cardiovascular system, improve posture, increase endurance and immunity, and much more.

Swimmers are strong, resilient, flexible and agile. They are mentally prepared, disciplined, hardworking and in good health.

Most often, mature people who did not learn to swim as children do not take up this business as they get older and, thereby, deprive themselves of all the benefits that this sport brings. A fear of depth or another phobia can serve as a barrier.

There is a theory that such fears only grow over the years and this slows down the decision to dive. But how do you drop worries and worries and take the first step? Is it necessary for swimming training for adults from scratch special method?

The consciousness of an adult cannot be compared with that of a child. Mature people start to think a lot, and, in most cases, negatively.

Swimming for adults with a coach

But, if there is a real desire to learn, with the help of a coach, everything will work out:

1. You need to distract bad thoughts from yourself. Focus on the joys, benefits of swimming. Think good and stay calm, because until the person relaxes, the process will take longer. Muscle stiffness and uneven breathing can affect how the trainee floats on the water. Therefore, give yourself confidence and positivity.
2. It is not possible to start classes everywhere. If there is fear or uncertainty, it is better for the person to see everything that happens under the water. First lessons in swimming instruction for adults should be done in the pool, at a depth that allows you to reach the bottom with your feet.
3. Equipment. This is a swimsuit (preferably not separate), a hat and swimming goggles.

Swimming training basics

Swimming lessons for adults begins with breath setting.

The principle of the technique is to inhale into all the lungs through the mouth and exhale under water. Being aground, a person breathes in, sinks into the water and exhales. Try not to breathe through your nose and remember that keeping afloat directly depends on the depth of inhalation. Do it a couple of times.

Swimming training basics

A number of exercises can help you overcome psychological barriers:

• Asterisk: Inhale deeply and lie face down on the water with your limbs stretched out in different directions.
• Float: go into the water just above your waist. You should breathe in and, at a bold pace, give your knees and lower your chin to your neck. Being in a peculiar position of the embryo, with your back at the level of the water, freeze until you feel that you need to inhale. Then you can easily get on your feet. You can repeat the exercise several times to feel how the body is kept on the water.

First, as a rule, you can exercise two to three hours after eating. Secondly, effective swimming training for adults the right time of day will help: not too early (to let the body wake up), and not too late (when the body already needs to rest) - from 4 pm to 7 pm. In addition, to warm up and prepare your muscles before immersion in water, you need to warm up. It is interesting to know that glasses that are perfect for one athlete may not fit snugly on another.

Swimming Tips

This is due to the difference in the construction of the face. It is very inconvenient, because during the swim, water can seep into the space. Do not forget about attendance (at least 3 times a week to accustom the body to stress). Never make yourself dehydrated. In reservoirs, it is not perceptible. Do not swing your legs too much, you are wasting energy.

There are many ways to learn to swim. Sometimes this is done using video tutorials, but this is definitely not a substitute for a classified teacher. I offer you a leader among all possible options: the European swimming organization "Mevis".

Swimming training in Moscow and St. Petersburg

For almost two decades they have been teaching mature applicants, and they have Russian technology number 1, which has a European patent (German patent number 5 / 12-2012). Swimming lessons for adults in Moscow takes place in many different pools. These guys train with both absolute beginners and poor swimmers, as well as good swimmers.

“Even after a long break from swimming, you will not lose your skills,” writes the official website of the community. This institution exists not only in Moscow. High quality swimming training for adults in St. Petersburg made possible in 3 rooms with blue paths.

The first rule of swimming is that there is no “right” way to swim. Just as everyone runs differently, everyone swims differently. “All good swimmers build on perfect stroke technique but incorporate their own moves,” says Jamie Baron, director of aquatic sports at Chelsea Piers. And he adds: "You should try to use the ideal technique in the way that physiology will allow you." This means that you do not need to compare yourself with the person floating on the next path.

Make it your habit

“Going to the pool once or twice a week is a great way to get nowhere,” says Jamie Baron. “If you don’t invest your time, don’t expect results.” New to swimming and excited? The only way to overcome your fear is to make you feel comfortable in your new environment. “This process will be greatly accelerated if you go to the pool more often. Four 30-minute workouts are better than one 2-hour workout, ”says Jamie Baron.

Invest in good inventory

Straighten up

You probably know that your body should look like a straight line in the water. Are you straightened up? Truth? “The straighter you are in the water, the less resistance you create and the easier it will be for you to paddle,” says Amanda Elizabeth Sawyer, trainer at New York's Health and Racquet Club. "This is especially important in open water, where there are many more unpredictable moments such as waves, currents, other swimmers and aquatic life."

Blow bubbles

It sounds childish, but blowing bubbles is an important exercise. “Your head should be submerged in water, exhale through your mouth, your goal is a long chain of bubbles,” says Ellis Peters, trainer at the famous American fitness club Equinox. "Say" Hmm "when you exhale. The presence of sound is an audio confirmation that there is still air in your lungs. "

The best way to learn how to breathe correctly? “Look down - I mean the bottom of the pool - when you exhale,” says Amanda Elizabeth Sawyer. "By being face down, you keep your body erect."

Don't keep your head above water

You don't have to keep your entire face above the water to breathe freestyle. “Keep your head in a neutral position while swimming and turn it just to breathe. It's important not to lose momentum, ”says Sara Borell, a top-notch Masters triathlon and swimming coach.

Minimize head movements

Move your head only when necessary (namely, to breathe). The more head movements you make, the less they are directed clearly forward. Amedeo Pablo Olivares, trainer at New York's Health and Racquet Club and COO at the Pinero Swim Club, advises thinking of your head as the steering wheel in a car - where it goes, your body goes, so keep it straight.

Concentrate

In the water, you cannot look around, hear, talk - you can only throw everything out of your head. If you think about something negative, you may panic. “So just breathe,” says Laura Kozik, instructor at Equinox Fitness Club and creator of the New York women's triathlon team Team Lipstick. "Focus on your good shape, focus on your breathing and focus on turning your body into a car ... preferably a Ferrari."

Practice swimming on both sides

“The shortest path between two points is a straight line. Swim straight, developing a balanced technique on both sides of the body, ”says Laura Kozik. She suggests trying one-arm exercises to develop both the right and the left: extend your arm in front of you and hold it in this position while you stroke the other arm along the entire length of the pool. “You will also learn how to breathe correctly on both sides,” adds Laura Kozik. "After all, you can only turn to inhale in the direction of the hand that is currently working."

Shoulders down, hips up!

“Believe it or not, the most important part of swimming is what happens between your thighs and the crown of your head,” says Misty Hyman, who won the 2000 Olympic gold medal in the 200m butterfly and is currently coaching others. swimmers. To keep your hips higher in the water (which allows you to breathe more freely), make sure your head is in a neutral position (neck is long, straight) and your eyes are pointing down. Keep your torso straight and tilt your upper torso slightly towards the bottom. This will help keep your hips higher.

Keep your arms long

Paddle row and backstroke require the swimmer to rotate both shoulders and hips at the same time. The leading hand reaches forward while the other grabs the water and moves along the hips back. What is the key to creating this efficient, coordinated movement? “Long arms, long strokes and maximum pivots should be the focus,” says Ellis Peters. Extend your arm fully at the beginning of the pull motion and again at the end. Your shoulders and hips will unroll at the same time.

Longer stroke

“Many people who swim for themselves do not increase their stroke length, although this is probably the most important part of swimming,” says Radenko Miskovich, elite personal trainer at Chelsea Piers NYC Fitness Club. Longer strokes result in maximum speed with minimum energy consumption. To improve your stroke, Radenko Miskovich suggests trying freestyle with straight arms. Hint: Imagine trying to pick apples from a tree directly above you, twisting your hips to reach as many as possible.

Protect your shoulders

Shoulder injuries are very common among swimmers. “When swimming freestyle, make sure your fingertips enter the water first with every stroke,” says Sarah Borell, a top-class swimming and triathlon coach in the Masters category. Avoid entering your thumb first as this can put too much stress on your shoulder.

Draw a line

To move faster, focus on moving your arm straight back as you twist your shoulders and inhale. “Your arms should not cross the center line of your body in any of the stroke phases,” says Amedeo Pablo Olivares.

Increase your speed

Swimming for short distances at a slow pace will not help much if you want to get better and faster. Instead, Radenko Miskovich recommends adding sprint to your workout routine - swim at maximum speed for 12 seconds or less, then recover. Divide the pool into swimming zones with varying intensities. Experiment to find your top speed.

Push yourself to the next rung

“Legs are the largest muscle group in our body and they require the most oxygen. Working on the legs is vital for the swimmer, ”says Paula Newby Fraser. She recommends adding 180-meter c exercises to your warm-up.

Leg movement - whip blow

“When it comes to footwork, it's very easy to overdo it. It can be tedious and much less effective than a push that looks like a whip, ”says Misty Hyman. Imagine wanting to pour something out of your fingertips. The whip movement begins at the hip, then the glutes and hamstrings come into play to lift the leg up. “You should feel like you’re getting a boost from both the downward and upward movement of your leg,” says Misty Hyman. "If you do everything right, your knees will not stay directly opposite each other - they will move vertically in a scissor fashion."

Pull your socks

Keep your socks stretched out! “It makes you feel more focused,” says Maria Compos, personal trainer at New York's Health and Racquet Club. "When you don't pull your toe, your legs and lower body work against the water, slowing you down."

Swim from your hip

Do not bend your leg at the knee - think about the whole leg taking part in the clean and jerk. "The push from the hip is the opposite of the push from the knee," says Maria Compos. “Bending the knee creates resistance, while relatively straight legs allow you to move with less effort. You are using other muscles such as the thighs and glutes, not just the quads. "

Make turns perfect

If you do your turns correctly, they will help you take your swimming technique (and competition) to the next level. “You have to control the distance to the side to do the flips in a timely manner. A strong and correct push can give you the edge and help you catch up, ”says Gregory Kinchelo, head swimming coach at the Athletic Club in New York.

Hold your breath

The finishing spurt can change everything during a competitive swim. Gregory Kinchelo recommends not taking a breath in the last 5 meters to the finish, even if you think it is necessary. Instead, focus on touching the rim as quickly as possible. When you're done, you can breathe.
