💫Technique Tips 💫

Using your time in the pool wisely!Keeping your head properly tucked while swimming is essential to maintaining a streamlined body position

❌ Head too high = hips and legs sinking = more drag = more effort = harder swimming

✅ Head tucked + arms behind your ears = better body alignment = less resistance = more speed with less effort

Remember : swimming efficiently isn’t just about creating propulsion. It’s also about reducing resistance as much as possible

💫 The Art of the Tumble Turn💫

THE APPROACH
Build your speed, take in air!
One final powerful stroke to get you there.
Breathe close to the wall, keep your speed. Watch where the floor and wall unite, That’s your cue to flip just right.

THE FLIP
A dolphin kick, tuck chin to chest,
Flip fast and tight to do your best.

THE LANDING
Feet upside down, or just to the side,
Aim for feet on the T, let your body align.

THE TAKEOFF
The wall is lava, don’t delay,
Plant your feet and push away.
No twisting, no pause, just power and glide,
explode off the wall and streamline your ride.

💙The hardest part of a 5 AM swim isn’t the workout—it’s getting out of bed. But by 7 AM, you feel unstoppable. 💙🏊‍♂️

From questioning your life choices when the alarm goes off to powering through tired muscles and a clear head, early-morning swimming has its own character development arc. 💪

There’s nothing like the buzz of knowing you’ve done the hard work while most people are still asleep. Worth the early start! 🙌

Which stage are you? 😂

✨Technique Tips✨

You have to pull water in the opposite direction of where you want to go.

🔴 Simple. But most swimmers never do it correctly.

👉 The moment your hand moves sideways during the pull, water slips straight through. No grip. No propulsion. Just wasted effort.

✅ Here’s how to do it right.

Start your catch slightly wider than shoulder width. Then pull straight back. Hand flat and still the entire time.

🔵 Flat hand means water stays under it. Straight back means all that water pushes you forward.

👉 No side to side. No wandering. Just straight back.
