Breaststroke and Butterfly Turn『蛙泳以及蝶泳的转身』

This week’s Speedo Tip of the Week is an excerpt from the May-June 2003 issue of Splash, in which Charlie Yourd of the Bloomington-Normal YMCA offers some tips on breaststroke and butterfly turns. Yourd was named Illinois Age Group Coach of the Year in 2002.
本周的Speedo小贴示出自Splash杂志2003年的五六月份刊号。在这期杂志中来自Bloomington－Normal（地名）基督教青年会（YMCA The Young Men's Christian Association ）查理·约尔德为大家提供了一些关于蛙泳和蝶泳转身的小窍门儿。约尔德（Yourd）曾于2002年被提名为依利诺州（Illinois 美国的一个州）年度最佳年龄组教练。

Yourd’s Tip:
约尔德（Yourd）的小窍门（贴示）：
Hit the wall on a full stroke at arm’s length. Avoid gliding in too far or hitting the wall on a short stroke with your arms bent.
·在完整划臂状态下触壁（双臂在划臂中的向前最长伸展状态）。（触壁时）要避免（在触壁前）做过长滑行，或者在触壁前有个短划臂动作而导致触壁时双臂弯曲。

The instant you touch the wall – or even an instant before – tuck your knees into your chest, and change direction by leading with your head and elbows going straight back. “Turning your head and body around to the side is the slow way to go,” Yourd said. Also, the tighter you can tuck your knees, the faster you will be able to change direction.
·在触壁的那一刹那——或者说是在触壁那一刹那之前——双膝向胸部收拢，并以头部、肘部的向正后方运动带引躯体变向。“（通过）向体侧转头或者移臂（带动转身）是种很慢的做法，”约尔德（Yourd）说，“还有，你的收膝动作越紧张，那么你转身变向的速度就会越快。”

Streamline, and begin your dolphin kick (for butterfly) or your breaststroke pullout right before you begin to lose any speed from your push-off. “On the breaststroke pullout, frequently swimmers rush and do it too soon,” Yourd said. “You need to make the most of your timing and speed off the wall.” If you’re doing butterfly, make sure you do smaller, faster kicks from the push-off (just like off the dive) before settling into your regular rhythm. This will help keep your body in a streamlined position.
·（保持）流线体位，并在身体开始减缓蹬壁加速速度之前开始打蝶泳腿（dolphin kick for butterfly）或者开始做蛙泳的大划臂动作（breaststroke pull-off）。“在做蛙泳大划臂的时，游泳运动员常常过于着急，做得太早，”约尔德（Yourd）说，“你（游泳的人）应该尽量掌握好时机、借助蹬壁加速的作用力。”如果你在游蝶泳的话，则应该在蹬壁后做幅度小而且频率高的打腿动作（就像开始潜水一样），这样持续到你的身体进入你正常的蝶泳节奏。这样做会有助你保持流线体位。

For the butterfly, break out from the turn the same way you would off the start. No breathing on the first stroke. “This helps set up your body position and gets your body in rhythm with your stroke,” Yourd said. “If you breathe on the first stroke, your body will sink.” For the breaststroke, make sure you kick on the breakout stroke so you explode to the surface of the water.
·对于蝶泳来讲，转身后出水动作应该于出发时相同。第一次划臂时不呼吸。“这样能帮助你构建你的体位，让你的身体适应你划臂的节奏。”约尔德（Yourd）说，“如果你在出水后第一次划水时就呼吸的话，你的身体就会下沉。”对于蛙泳来讲，你一定要在出水时做出一次蹬腿动作，这样你的身体才会逬出水面
