Caeleb Dressel is one of the best swimmers on the planet.
First man to break 18 seconds in the 50-yard freestyle. 7x Olympic gold medalist. World record holder in the 100m butterfly (LCM and SCM) and 50m freestyle (SCM).
But even Dressel isn’t immune to feeling lousy at practice from time to time.
Tired, not feeling it, whatever the case, Dressel is human and faces the same struggles the rest of us experience in the pool.
His advice?
When fighting with the water in practice, he focuses on nailing a couple really simple technical things.
“If I’m doing super bad that day,” said Dressel. “I can at any point do five kicks off every wall [when swimming] freestyle… and then work on the breakout.”
But that’s not all:
“And how hard can it be to focus on the correct catch, not slipping my arm to the outside,” he adds. “Just two things.”
The lesson here is simple: You can still make the most of your time in the water by focusing on the basics.
The side effect of doing this?
By swimming well, you are more likely to start swimming fast.
Not every practice is going to be perfect, and not every bad practice has to be a total dud.
Focus on swimming well, nail a couple technical skills like a boss, and swim your way to more consistent practices.
