Summary

Are you struggling to get faster despite thinking your form is correct? Are you an adult onset swimmer that just can't seem to solve the riddle? This podcast is for you. We go deep into being a stronger, faster, and more relaxed swimmer. We talk about the things you should actually be doing vs. spending your time on drills you don't understand. Swimming is about connecting your mind to the action of the stroke. Today we look at ways you can truly get better by focusing on what works and not spending time overthinking.

Topics:

Don't fight the water
Stop trying to change everything
Get better at what you're doing right

What's your swim age?
Early development
Wiring first the first time
Can't seem to get a feel for the water
Fist drill, skulling, doggy paddle
Slow down to feel the water
Feel for water is an enigma
Finding speeds in the water
Limb swimmers
Slip and path of the least resistance
Bilateral Breathing
Swimming with a band
Strides in the water
Disjointed vs. Fluid
