Three Key Areas

I met a new athlete today for a swim 1-1. This athlete has already completed seven Ironman races but was really keen to improve her swim.

I reviewed the stroke and identified three key areas for her to work on to make her a quicker and more efficient swimmer. During the session we worked on:

• Developing a longer stroke
• A more propulsive catch
• Less rotation of the head when breathing

By the end of the session our swimmer was looking smooth in the water and moving much more efficiently.

Another great hour of 1-1 swimming at Huyton!
