Chapter 20 Learning to Swim
It's already July in the blink of an eye, the warrior monk and Mao Sanbai are already late, and the lifeguard assessment in Xuhui District, Shanghai, is in May, and neither of them has caught up.
However, although it was too late to take the exam this year, it did not prevent the two of them from preparing.
The assessment of the fitness coach certificate does not participate in the Mao 300, but the assessment of the lifeguard Mao 300 needs to participate, and the reason for participating is that there are not enough lifeguards in the fitness center, and he needs to be on top if necessary.
There are several events in the lifeguard assessment, but the most difficult is the 25-meter freestyle.
25-meter freestyle, 20 seconds time limit.
Many people think that 20 seconds is not too difficult, but in fact, when you actually swim, you will find that it is often only a second or two short.
How did the difference between two and two seconds come about? It's because your posture isn't right.
Like a warrior monk, with his crazy dog planing, he may be able to swim 25 meters in less than 20 seconds, but he must be as tired as a dog.
This kind of high-intensity anaerobic exercise is actually very physically demanding.
And to correct posture, you must find a professional.
Luckily, there was a professional in the fitness center.
Lao Tian, a veteran employee, is the only intermediate lifeguard in this fitness center.
Although he is on the verge of retirement, he is still old and strong.
Don't ask how you see it, after all, a fifty-eight-year-old person can still drink half a catty of liquor every day, rub mahjong and rub half a night, which definitely belongs to the old and strong.
At the request of Manager Song, Lao Tian began to instruct Mao Sanbai and the warrior monk to swim that day.
In the afternoon of the same day, God came to Mao Sanbai and the warrior monks.
"Come on, two, swim for me first! Let me see what level you guys are? Lao Tian looked at the warrior monk and Mao Sanbai and said lightly.
"Okay!" Saying that, the warrior monk and Mao Sanbai excitedly changed into swimming trunks, jumped into the swimming pool without saying a word, and started a thrilling 25-meter round-trip swim.
Why is it a round trip, because their pool is only 12.5.
After three hundred and a warrior monk plunged into the swimming pool of the fitness center, they swam faster and faster, and the more they swam, the happier they were.
The feeling of chartering the swimming pool like this and having fun is quite enjoyable.
However, although Mao Sanbai and the warrior monk felt very happy, Lao Tian on the side did not feel happy.
After the two of them finished swimming, as soon as they came ashore, they saw that the edge was wet, like an old field that had just been fished out of the water.
Looking at Mao Sanbai and the warrior monk, Lao Tian held back for a long time, and finally roared: "You are also called swimming, in your posture, the normal water depth of my pool is two meters, after the two of you swim, it is estimated that the water depth is now 1.5 meters, right?"
What kind of lifeguard do you have to test for the two of you, just your swimming posture can clean the water and save people! ”
After Lao Tian roared, Mao Sanbai and the warrior monk were full of embarrassment.
But it's no wonder that Lao Tian is angry, as a national second-level athlete and a former water polo player, he taught others to swim for the first time, and he was wet before he got into the water.
Looking at Lao Tian like this, Mao Sanbai and the warrior monk also felt a little uncomfortable, and others came to teach themselves, and as a result, they made others like this.
Thinking of this, Mao Sanbai and the warrior monk immediately jumped out of the pool, then picked up the bath towel on the side, and rushed to Lao Tian's side to help Lao Tian wipe it.
However, it doesn't matter if you don't wipe it, rub it, because the two of them just came out of the water, they didn't wear slippers under their feet, and the anti-slip in Huating was not particularly good.
The two hurriedly ran towards Lao Tian, but halfway through the run, the two of them slipped at the same time.
And then ...... The two of them went into the water to save Lao Tian.
After coming out of the water, Lao Tian looked at the two of them, clasped his fists with both hands and said politely: "Two heroes, please ask for another master, the old man is weak." ”
said that Lao Tian was about to leave.
Seeing that Lao Tian was leaving, how could Mao Sanbai and the warrior monk just forget it, without saying a word, they pounced on it, and hugged Lao Tian one by one.
"Master Tian, wait! We were wrong, calm down. ”
"No, I have to go, or I'll be killed by you sooner or later!" Saying that, Lao Tian was about to pull his legs and leave.
However, as far as the current weight of the warrior monk and Mao Sanbai is concerned, is that a joke with you? Lao Tian struggled for five minutes, but he didn't pull his leg out.
Just when Lao Tian's face was red, Mao Sanbai felt that it would not work like this, Lao Tian was old after all, and if he was too angry, he would have a cerebral hemorrhage.
Thinking of this, Mao Sanbai gave the warrior monk a look, and then the two of them let go of their hands at the same time.
However, as soon as the two let go, they saw the struggling Lao Tian leap and jump into the air.
Looking at Lao Tian in the air, Mao Sanbai and the warrior monks were surprised, they didn't expect that Lao Tian was so old and still had such skills.
However, what the two didn't expect was that Lao Tian, who was flying in the air, was also full of shock, because he didn't expect that these two would suddenly let go.
The next moment, Lao Tian reappeared in the pool.
A minute later, Lao Tian climbed out of the pool, and at this time, Lao Tian looked at Mao Sanbai and the warrior monk very kindly.
Looking at the wet Lao Tian, Mao Sanbai and the warrior monk looked embarrassed.
"Master Tian, this matter ......"
"Needless to say, it's all over, let's get along well and learn to swim, right?"
Looking at Lao Tian with a pleasant face, Mao Sanbai and the warrior monk were all confused, what is the situation?
"Master Tian, I'm really sorry, we didn't mean to." Mao Sanbai said with an embarrassed face.
Waving his hand, Lao Tian said: "It's okay, it's okay, I don't need to explain, I understand." Now I have only one request for the two of you, and that is...... Please let me go, I'm retired in two years, don't kill me! ”
Mao 300: "......"
Warrior Monk: "......"
We really didn't mean to.
……
After a few minutes, Lao Tian looked at the warrior monk and Mao Sanbai and said: "Okay, you don't want to learn to swim freestyle now, you practice breaststroke first, with your posture, you can't even count as a beginner in swimming!" ”
Hearing this, the warrior monk and Mao Sanbai were not very comfortable, they were also people who had learned to swim in the Eight Classics, although the posture was strange, but it couldn't be said that they hadn't even entered the entrance.
Seeing that both of them seemed to be very unhappy, Lao Tian said lightly.
"Alright, I know what you two are thinking! You two are watching here, I'll go down and swim and show you!" ”
After saying that, Lao Tian turned around and went to the locker room, and when he came out again, Lao Tian had already put on his swimming trunks.
"I'll tell you, breaststroke isn't like you swim! First of all, you have to distinguish that the hand movements of this breaststroke are purely for ventilation, and the hand movements are not responsible for moving forward! ”
"If you don't move forward with your hands, then what? Do you kick your legs barefoot? Mao Sanbai was a little puzzled, he also tried to kick his legs, but when he kicked his legs in the water, the forward effect was not particularly obvious.
Later, Mao Sanbai learned that this was a common mistake made by beginner swimmers.
In fact, breaststroke is not a leg push, to be precise, when swimming breaststroke, it is to move forward with water rather than pushing forward.
Looking at Lao Tian's very elegant breaststroke in the swimming pool, to be honest, the warrior monk and Mao Sanbai were a little envious, after all, they swam like fighting.
But then again, when they were in the army, the two of them swam and told a living person not to approach, basically whoever leaned on it would get something, and if you were called by these two casually, you would have to sink to the bottom of the water like a submarine for half a day.
After making a demonstration, Lao Tian jumped up from the water and walked to the two of them.
"The posture is almost like this, you two practice slowly first, little by little, don't worry! You two have a full year! ”
After saying that, Lao Tian turned around and went to the locker room to take a bath.
However, at this time, Mao Sanbai suddenly called Lao Tian.
"Wait, Master Tian, didn't you say that you need freestyle during the assessment? So when did we start learning freestyle? ”
"With the current physical coordination of the two of you, you are still freestyle, let's practice breaststroke well, when will the breaststroke practice be the same as mine, when will you start learning freestyle!"
While saying that, Lao Tian walked to the locker room, leaving only a dashing back for the two.
After Lao Tian left, the warrior monk and Mao Sanbai looked at each other, and finally both of them shrugged their shoulders, and then jumped into the pool in their swimming trunks and began to practice themselves.
