DYNAMICS The branch of mechanics that deals with motion and the associated forces Newton’s Three Laws of Motion
1. Things like to keep on doing what they are already doing.
2. Things like to keep moving in a straight line unless something forces them to change their direction.
3. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

FORCES ON THE SWIMMER
Resistive forces Skin Drag: between the you and the water Form Drag: turbulence created by the you Wave Drag: energy lost in creating waves Environmental
Propulsive forces
Paddler forces: swim strokes, connection to core, etc.

WHAT IS A LEVER? A lever is a simple machine that makes work easier. A lever has three parts
1. A pivot point 2. An applied force, and 3. A resistive load

SWIMMERS USE LEVERS
Where the fulcrum is located depends on two things;
1. Frame of reference (hand, shoulder, hips or ground)
2. Swimming technique and style

setup
pull
exit

CAUSE & EFFECT The five phases of the stroke have direct impact on the three key elements
You must learn to identify errors in each key element and find a solution in the phases

CAUSE & EFFECT Exit affects recovery Setup affects entry Entry affects catch
Catch affects pull Pull affects exit
Left side affects right | Right side affects left
