Think sighting is just lifting your head to see where you're going? 👀
Think again.
One of the biggest mistakes I see in open-water swimming is lifting the head too high to sight.
It seems like a small thing — but watch what happens to the rest of the body.
⬇️ Head lifts
⬇️ Hips drop
⬇️ Drag increases
⬇️ Stroke gets disrupted
The goal isn't to stop swimming so you can look.
It's to see where you're going while keeping your body balanced and your stroke moving.
Try this next time you're in open water:
How little can you move and still see?
That's the difference between looking and sighting well.
Better technique doesn't have to mean more effort.
It can mean making the right movement easier.

Swimming feels hard when your stroke rate is fighting you — too slow and you lose momentum, too fast and you burn out chasing your own arms. The Finis Tempo Trainer takes the guesswork out.

We clip it under your cap and it beeps out a precise rhythm, so every stroke lands exactly where it should. No more "feel" — just data.

✅ Easier — you stop overworking and start swimming with rhythm instead of against it
✅ Faster — small, consistent tempo gains add up to real pace over a set or a race
✅ More efficient — locks in your stroke rate so technique stays clean even when you're fatigued

It's a small tool, but it changes how swimming feels — from effortful to controlled.

What if you could feel your stroke become smoother, lighter, and more efficient?

In our Technique Squad, we use drafting to explore resistance in a fun, practical way. You’ll learn how small changes to your body position, balance, and technique can help you reduce drag, save energy, and swim with greater ease.

That’s exactly what our 18 October Swim Technique Clinic is designed to help you do: recognise where resistance is holding you back and discover simple adjustments you can take straight into your training.

Feel the difference. Find your flow. Swim stronger.

Spaces may be limited — DM us today for details and reserve your place.

Have you ever tried swimming in sync with someone else?

It’s more than just a fun drill.

Matching another swimmer’s stroke forces you to become much more aware of your own timing.

🏊 Speed your tempo up
🏊 Slow it down
🏊 Find more distance with each stroke
🏊 Learn to adapt your stroke without losing control

Find a buddy, swim side-by-side and take turns setting the rhythm.

It can be surprisingly challenging and it’s a great way to learn what happens when you deliberately change your stroke.

Who would you try this with?

Training for a triathlon and want to swim faster? 🏊

Watch the disconnect here — head, torso, arms and legs all moving on separate timing. When his head lifts, his body sinks. When it moves left, his body follows. Nothing’s working together, and that’s exactly what’s capping his speed.

The good news? These are simple fixes. Get the timing connected and he swims faster — without swimming harder.

This is the kind of thing we work on 1:1 in the studio, using underwater video to actually see what’s happening stroke by stroke.
