Summary

A lot of us really complicate things in the water, but today we’re looking at a few “simple” concepts that can really make a difference in your swim speed. We’ll look at how and why to master these techniques and what it will mean for your overall enjoyment of the sport and the swim. These are not drills, they are effective and relatively simple techniques that you must make second nature before you will get faster. We also look at Louisville 70.3 and the panic around water and road conditions.

Topics:

Louisville 70.3
Race water quality
Facebook panic
Road conditions
Online swim school
What we see in swim analysis
Early vertical forearm
Breathing
Tucking chin
Out of breath?
Sink to the bottom
Lungs too full of air?
Hydrodynamics vs. aerodynamics
It’s all about the drag
Going out too fast
Finding good breathing BEFORE the race
When drills make no sense
Firm but not rigid
The Clock analogy
Do drills WHILE you’re swimming
Swim slower and own your form
