Swimming Helical Style (Helix), Follow up

Many potential swimmers look at swimming as a boring activity. For them and for the sake of rehabilitation in water (Hydrotherapy), a new style of 'Hellical Swimming' was designed by Professor  David G. Mendes MD.    'Hellical motion' describes the spiral motion of a driven screw.
The aim of this style is to upgrade coordination of motion of the body and four extremities and coordinate the rate of breathing during that activity thus increasing the 'joy of swimming'.
The swimmer advances in horizontal direction while performing a full twist in a longitudinal axis.   A full twist  means that the body and extremities turn up side down and down side up.    The four extremities move reciprocally preferably in a crawl style.    The Twisting motion is done while the arms and legs are held in extended longitudinal position.  The body twists continuously in same direction either clockwise or counter clockwise.  The rate of the twist is up to the swimmer decision.

At present Swimming Helix style it is being demonstrated sporadically in swimming practice In Tel Aviv Municipality teaching pool and in Haifa at the Holmes Place pool.
