    1. INTRODUCTION TO SWIMMING:

    It is )elieved that the art of swimming is *nown since the histor+ of man*ind.

    ,an learned to swim much )efore it was possi)le for him to leave us an+

    written record for his aquatic accomplishments. -e perhaps made the

    )eginning )+ crawling on his hands and *nees in the shallow water on

    )eaches. -e entered this new environment primaril+ in pursuit of food and

    secondl+ for pleasant sensation that )athing gave him and then developed thefirst real urge to swim.

    Swimming finds its mention in man+ ancient civiliations including Eg+pt#

    /ss+ria# 0reece# and ome where it was practiced widel+ and stressed in the

    training of warriors. uring orld ar II almost all the nations included

    swimming instructions as a part of training for all militar+ personnel.

    It is esta)lished that the English were the first people of modern civiliationto ma*e a sport )+ navigating water with arms and legs. Swimming was one

    of the sports included in the first modern l+mpic 0ames at /thens in 1$&.

    iving events were added later in 1&'4. %he womens competitions were

    recognied in 1&12. %he first official clu) in India# the (alcutta Swimming

    (lu)# was founded in 1&2. India made her l+mpic de)ut at /msterdam in

    the +ear 1&2$. -owever# the 6ational Swimming /ssociation of independent

    India was founded in 1&4&. Swimming was one of the si7 sports at the 1st

    /sian games held at elhi in 1&5" where India clinched the ater polo gold.

    Swimming is a sport in which a person propels himself through the water )+

    means of s+nchronied movements of his arms# called stro*es and legs#

    called *ic*s. It is one of the most popular sports and is reputed )+ ph+sical

    educators to )e the )est e7ercise for all round development of the )od+.Swimming conditions the cardiovascular s+stem while placing the minimal

    stress on 8oints. It emplo+s all the ma8or muscle groups of the )od+ leading

    to a well developed supple musculature.

    Swimming is ac*nowledged to )e the finest means towards ph+sical

    reha)ilitation for people suffering from certain disa)ilities or those

    recovering from in8uries. It is also the most active sport the+ can en8o+

    without e7ternal aids. /s a pastime# Swimming has few equals. It is fun from

    the moment a learner gets his feet off the )ottom. It is en8o+ed )+ millions of

    people world over. Swimming is often a means of protecting and saving

    lives. Its survival and safet+ aspects are undenia)le. 9nowing swimming is

    also passport to other aquatic sports. nce +ou *now it# all *inds of water

    sports lie ahead.

    stro*e )eing taught.

    / drag suit or plate is used for training the swimmer which provides

    additional resistance without affecting )od+ position. -and paddles are

    availa)le in different sies designed for greater forearm stress. Swim fins are

    attached to the feet li*e shoes to help the )eginner learn proper *ic*s and

    rate ranges )etween 15' ! 1' )t G min. It improves cardiovascular

    endurance. Swimmer is trained at distances greater than the distance of his

    event which he is training. e.g. for 2''m event he ma+ swim 1'''m or

    15''m with or without timing or he ma+ swim 4C4''m at a )it faster speed.

    It consists of Swimming relativel+ long distances sa+ a)out $''m or over

    continuousl+ using variet+ of speed. -owever# distances are smaller than

    ,arathan Swimming. It has two forms; organied and unorganied. In

    organied form# the coach prepares the pace such as 3 lapses slow# 1 fast 2

    slow# 2 fast 2 slow. %his method is also used as sectional practice with *ic*

    )oard and pulls )uo+s. ,a7imum pulse rate ranges )etween 1"' ! 1$' )t G

    min. In unorganied form the Swimmer swims at his own wish depending

    upon his condition and feeling during training. %he proportion of slow and

    fast remains 1;4 or 1;2.

    7.2.1.$. Int"#al T#ainin+:

    It consists of swimming a series of repeats at a given distance with an

    impartial rest in )etween the repeats. %ime and pace is maintained in repeats

    with impartial recover+. @ulse rate raises upto 1"' ! 1$' )t G min. and

    recover+ upto14' ! 15' )t G min. %he distance is never longer than the

    distance the Swimmer is training for. E.g. if the sprinting time of a 2''mSwimmer is 25 sec for 5'm# then he will )e Swimming 25C5'm on 3' sec. of

    rest interval. It is used in middle phase of preparator+ period. %he Interval

    ,ethod is further divided into Slow and Fast Interval methods.

    >. TACTICS INVOLVED IN SWIMMIMG

    Swimming is an individual and c+clic sport and not much strateg+ and tacticsare involved in it. For this reason# e7cept pacing the race# there is not much

    attention paid in this regard. In order to achieve the )est performance# a

    swimmer must learn to distri)ute his distance economicall+ and thoughtfull+

    through out the race.

    %actics in Swimming of different races can )e categoried in three different

    phases which are as follows;

    1. Sprint races

    2. ,iddle distance races

    3. :ong distance races

    S#int Ra*"!

    '? mt!: %he 5' mts race is purel+ speed event and much depends on the

    start itself. %he entire distance a swimmer covers at all out speed without

    much )reathing especiall+ in free st+le events. / good finish is required

    indeed as nec* to nec* fight is there.

    1?? mt!:In 1'' mts events it is not possi)le to maintain all out speed over

    the entire distance. In this event the )est polic+ is to swim the first 5' mts

    within 1G2 ! 1 sec of cloc*ing time in 5' mts and also the 1st 5' is swan in

    1 G L sec faster than the second 5'm )ecause the swimmer gets advantage of

    start and moreover he is fresh.

    E.g. For pacing 1'' mts free st+leE7pected time 5. 5 sec

    est time of 5' mts 2.5 sec

    %he pacing time for each 5' mts would )e 2". 5 sec

    24/26

    In pacing middle and long distance races the swimmer tries to prevent

    )uilding up high o7+gen de)t in the race. + Swimming at a ver+ fast pace

    he will accumulate a high level of o7+gen de)t earl+ in the race and will

    e7perience an immediate drop in his speed.

    %he 1st 5'm is usuall+ 1sec. faster than other remaining laps in 4''m and

    longer events. In other stro*es where the distance is not more than 2''m# the

    1st 5'm is onl+ faster )+ 1!2 sec. In middle distance races of 2''m and

    4''m a Swimmer ma+ sometimes prefer to )egin faster than an ideal pace

    and attempt to get out in front avoiding the chopp+ waters. Some Swimmers

    li*e to swim the strateg+ races in relation to the opponent.
