I was wondering about the term, "engage your core" the other day. How do I know (when swimming, let's say front crawl) when I've done it correctly (or at all)? Is it sufficient to "suck my navel to my spine"?
Check out some of the posts on the following threads for good discussions of the "How do I know?" question:
- Pulling your navel to your spine
- Kicking rhythm?
- Developing power and endurance - with the right stroke
(All of these threads are fairly recent - within the past couple weeks)
