Week 8 – Session 1
GENERAL COMMENT FOR CREWS:
- For the past three weeks we have concentrated on individual externals – this week we continue but look at each of these in the one session
- We wish to look at OVERALL boat movement
- We still wish to avoid RUSHED, VIOLENT, SUDDEN movements of hands and bodies BUT most importantly we want the following:
– Blade traveling at constant depth below the water
– Blade traveling at constant height above the water
– Blade traveling at a speed through the water greater than the boat’s speed
– Blade traveling at a speed above the water equal to the speed of the boat
– Blade entering the water with even minor splash to front and back
– Blade exiting the water cleanly without being enveloped by puddle
