It’s interesting how the 2<sup>nd</sup> document updates the first, specifying that some of the stretches mentioned in the first are no longer recommended for ‘the swimming community’.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#17365D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#17365D'>The problem I always have with these types of documents is that the community they have in mind is athletes as opposed to us lesser mortals, so they are written for coaches and people who are training hard and using ‘competition-style’ techniques. So their guidance shouldn’t be taken as gospel for all of us. For example, as a Shaw Method teacher, I would take issue with the ‘little finger first’ hand-entry instruction in the first document: I teach a thumb-down, palm out entry. But that goes with the greater body rotation that we also teach for ease and efficiency in the water. I could go on... if you’re interested, have a look at the Shaw Method online magazine: </span><a href="http://www.swimshawmethod.com/improve-your-swimming/front-crawl/">http://www.swimshawmethod.com/improve-your-swimming/front-crawl/</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#17365D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#17365D'>Cheers<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#17365D'>Dee</span><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#17365D'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#17365D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Dee Keane<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Transformation Swimming Oxford<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>www.dklearning.com<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Tel 01865 203570</span><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#17365D'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#17365D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0cm 0cm 0cm'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> ossoxon-bounces@earth.li [mailto:ossoxon-bounces@earth.li] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Pam Jones<br><b>Sent:</b> 18 September 2011 22:41<br><b>To:</b> 'OSS Oxon'<br><b>Subject:</b> [OSS Oxon] FW: swimming stretches<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>More shoulder stretches<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0cm 0cm 0cm'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> Pauline Squire [mailto:pauline_squire@sky.com] <br><b>Sent:</b> 15 September 2011 22:25<br><b>To:</b> jacky.mayes@hotmail.co.uk<br><b>Cc:</b> sibarber_2005@yahoo.co.uk<br><b>Subject:</b> swimming stretches<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>hope these help you as much as they have helped me, <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></div></body></html>
