\"\"<\/p>\n

Fin swimming – also known as finswimming – is a dynamic swimming sport. It is the fastest form of locomotion in water using human muscle power. To show your will power you should try <\/span>https:\/\/vave.com\/fr\/live-casino<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Finswimmers can reach speeds of up to 12 km\/h in a sprint competition.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fin swimmers move in the water with a monofin and use a frontal snorkel to breathe. The wave-like movement and the fin’s large surface area provide the swimmer with propulsion, enabling them to move through the water at high speed.<\/span><\/p>\n

FS_Equipment<\/strong><\/p>\n

This sport requires the athlete to exert a great deal of strength in the legs and torso, combined with a high level of body tension, as well as a high level of coordination and rhythmic movement. In addition, the athlete trains his breathing technique under enormous physical strain through long diving phases during the swim.<\/span><\/p>\n

FS_Showcase<\/strong><\/p>\n

This technique is swum both above water using a snorkel (FS) and under water (AP or IM) using a compressed air cylinder and regulator, whereby the athlete moves the cylinder through the water with their arms outstretched in front of their body.<\/span><\/p>\n

COMPETITION<\/span><\/h2>\n

As finswimming, like classic swimming, is practised as a competitive sport, national and international competitions are also held here. In addition to the annual national and state championships, European and world championships are held at international level every two years. Numerous international meetings and world cups are also held. As with Olympic sports, the World Games, which are comparable to the Olympic Games, are also held every four years for non-Olympic sports. Enjoying participants from many countries.<\/span><\/p>\n

Disciplines<\/strong>:<\/span><\/p>\n

Surface Finswimming (FS):<\/strong><\/p>\n

50m, 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, 1,500m FS in the individual competition as well as 4x100m and 4x200m FS in the relay competition, in addition, long distance competitions of 1,000m, 5,000m are also held in the lake, in which a circuit has to be completed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Apnea (AP):<\/strong><\/p>\n

50m AP (underwater with breath held)<\/span><\/p>\n

Inmersion (IM)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Distance diving:<\/span><\/p>\n

100m, 200m and 400m IM<\/span><\/p>\n

FINSWIMMING<\/span><\/h2>\n

Behind these names lies a dynamic, powerful and aesthetic sport. It is the fastest way for humans to move through the water using only their own muscle power and other physiological abilities. Finswimmers reach spectacular speeds of well over 3 meters per second in the sprint disciplines (50m).<\/span><\/p>\n

Based on the way dolphins swim, you swim with one fin for both feet. This so-called monofin has an approx. 12-15 times larger propulsion area than you are used to from normal classic sports swimming. A few superlatives make it clear why finswimming is not booming as a trendy mass sport, but is more of an attractive extreme sport:<\/span><\/p>\n

The overall very high effort of the torso and legs required to move the large propulsion surface of the monofin dynamically, rhythmically and quickly in order to achieve the aforementioned rapid speeds on and under water.<\/span><\/p>\n

The high level of coordination required to learn the correct technique of dolphin movement as a whole-body movement using a 48 cm long competition snorkel or compressed air diving equipment for breathing underwater, while at the same time exerting a very high level of physical effort.<\/span><\/p>\n

The necessary strength and flexibility in the torso, shoulders and arms to maintain the most hydrodynamically favorable arm and body behavior.<\/span><\/p>\n

The high proportion of apnea loads (held breath) in training and competition under maximum muscular strain and the associated psychological readiness to exert oneself. We will see what Finswimming will bring to us. For sure it already enjoys a great fan base and we are looking forward to amazing and interesting competitions around the world.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
