To swim like a mermaid (minus the tail!), focus on undulating movements originating from your core and shoulders, leading with your head.
Here's a breakdown:
-
Head Position: Lead with your head in a smooth, fluid motion. Avoid bobbing your head up and down.
-
Undulation: The movement should start from your shoulders, creating a wave-like motion through your entire body. This is key to propelling yourself forward efficiently.
-
Core Engagement: Engage your core muscles to control and power the undulation. This helps maintain a streamlined body position and maximizes propulsion.
-
Practice: Regular practice will help you refine your technique and develop the necessary muscle memory.
