You will also find the standings of the first three places in all events for men and women at the Olympic Games followed by several classifications which are listed either by the number of titles or medals by swimmer or National Federation. It should be noted that these standings only have an historical aim but no sport signification because the comparison between the achievements of swimmers of different generations is always unfair for several reasons: 1. The period of time. The Olympic Games were not organised in 1916, 1940 and 1944 2. The evolution of the programme.

    Part II: Is the Breaststroke Arm Stroke a “Pull” Or a “Scull”?

    J. Swimming Research, Vol. 21:1 (2013) Part II: Is the Breaststroke arm stroke a “Pull” or a “Scull”? Ernest W. Maglischo 1970 Lazy Meadow Lane Prescott, AZ 86303 USA [email protected] Abstract. At the present time swimmers seem to be moving away from using sculling motions in their arm strokes. The trend is back toward the use of drag-dominated propulsion where the hand and arm operate more like a paddle than a foil. While this is true in three of the competitive strokes, a great number of coaches still think breaststroke should be the exception to this trend. They believe swimmers in this stroke should be sculling their hands out and in. In this paper I want to present a case for breaststrokers using drag-dominated propulsion during their arm stroke. My rationale for suggesting this will be given early in the paper, followed by the presentation of visual and graphic data that support that rationale. In the final section, I will describe how I believe the arm stroke should be performed together with a short video showing an Olympic Gold Medalist swimming this way. Introduction to Part II. Theories of propulsion were discussed in Part I of this paper. Shoulder adduction as a major propulsive stroking motion and the way it is performed in the front crawl, backstroke and butterfly were also described. In Part II, I want to describe how, I believe, shoulder adduction is used for propulsion during the breaststroke arm stroke. Shoulder adduction in the breaststroke. As I stated earlier in Part I of this paper, it seems logical to me that breaststrokers should use the same shoulder adducting motion that is employed for propulsion in the other three strokes, and that their propulsion should also be drag-dominated.

Our swimmers did not perform up to expectations in the 2012 Olympic Games in London and a rigorous review is in progress as this report goes to print. Though there was notable progress in a number of areas – for example the number of British Swimming finalists, we fell short of our medal target, with a number of medal prospects failing to deliver their season’s best performance when it mattered.
