Summary

Today, we dive deeper into how you can get real investments for the time you spend in the pool. We look at the concept of building your fatigue resistance and how that makes you faster. We talk about open water and why the key is building strength. Are you swimming with intention in the pool? We dive into what that means and how your sessions should look. We talk about Masters Groups… the pros and cons and what you should be getting out of them. We tell you exactly what to do to get faster in the pool. We also give you a great test to show if you have good body position. Be a swimmer, think like a swimmer, but do not overthink it. Simplify/Repeat.
