Did you catch this detail during the Paris 2024 Olympics? 👉 Some swimmers are slicing through the water with their fingers slightly spread apart. This isn't an accident – it's ‘grounded’ in hydrodynamics, the science of fluid motion. When swimmers spread their fingers, they increase the surface area of their hands, creating a larger paddle to push against the water, supercharging their strokes. This technique generates powerful thrust and propels swimmers forward faster. And it’s actually the same principle behind our cut blades. The small gaps reduce drag and improve propulsion. It's a great reminder of how small tweaks can lead to huge gains, whether it's racing for gold or revolutionising paddle sports! #oscarpropulsionsport #OPSport #cutbladepaddle #cutbladetechnology #cutpaddle #OPPaddle #ParisOlympics #Olypics #Swimming

Sighting calls on different muscles than side breathing.  This drill can help you strengthen those muscles in advance of your first open-water swim. https://lnkd.in/gFqkbiag #swimming #openwater #triathlon #freestyle

For adults, who might need to break some old habits, here’s how we like to introduce the idea of low head and horizontal bodyline. https://lnkd.in/gn9EJHXu #freestyle #swimming #triathlon #triathlete

A mother recorded a video of her child before and after getting an iPad, and the difference is shocking—it's like watching two completely different kids. Before, the child was active and full of energy. But after getting the iPad, they started screaming and behaving in strange ways. It's incredible how much impact a device can have on a child's behavior. Sports are the solution at this stage of life. It's essential to learn various activities, including daily exercise, competitions, healthy nutrition, and participating in household chores. #Drills #swimming #sport #olympics #swimmingpool #destinations #freestyle #worldaquatics #swimming #swimmer #swim #triathlon #triathlete #triathlonlife #TM5 #themagic5 #deboer #triathlongirl #swimbikeru #swimming #swim #Butterflyswimming #Backstroke #Prestrroc #Freestyle #Canadain_Swiming_Acadmy #coachEltayeb #Swim_Canada

Has your swim progression stalled? Tip #1 is the 2-2 & 2 Butterfly Drill. This is a way to start adding in more Butterfly to an athletes program. Triathletes have a tendency of over focusing on freestyle while ignoring the other 3 strokes. Now, this can backfire drastically if you have never swam fly and do not know the proper technique. So having a coach who can teach you how to efficiently swim fly is incredibly important. The 2-2 & 2 Fly drill is a great way to begin fly progression, and allows the athletes to begin learning the proper technique without completely taxing the body. Adding fins to this makes it much easier to find the fly kick rhythm. #triathlon #swimming
