Dropping Stroke Count

Simple things make a big difference!

This was the third 1-1 swim session for one of my athletes. His swim is so much better than it was three weeks ago. Much more efficient, quicker … and looks good too!

Last night, the focus was improving body position in the water. Amongst other things, we lengthened the body – almost keeping it stretched – which in turn raised his hips and lifted his sinking legs. His stroke count dropped from 23 to 19 immediately and his time for 100m dropped considerably.

Amazing.
