Stroke Doctor Swimming

FIND ROOT CAUSES

Diagnosing stroke errors requires looking past the obvious problems our eyes first notice to the root causes responsible for them.

The most glaring mistake in this swimmer’s stroke? His giant scissor kick.

The root cause? Head lift on his breath.

Over the course of our 2-day course we adjusted his breathing skills and head position. The result? A huge reduction in leg splay that eliminates drag, lowers energy cost and improves velocity.

Don’t be distracted by first impressions. Trace the conspicuous issue back to its less-obvious root cause. This swimmer didn’t have a leg problem. He didn’t need endless laps with a kickboard. He needed to address the mistake that caused his legs to act out.

You can't do the basics too well. Consider these 5 key points of ex*****on as you drill. A properly aligned and balanced body position permits sleek streamlining and allows the limbs to engage in propulsion rather than stabilization.

Terry Laughlin was a good friend and incomparable mentor since we first met in 1997. We coached together at numerous weekend clinics, open water camps, competitive swimmer camps, coach certification courses. It’s hardly surprising he established a deep friendship with Tim Ferriss, one of today’s most popular efficiency innovators. Find time to listen to this podcast, recorded shortly before his death in 2017. You may learn a bit about swimming, and a few things about a life well lived.

Attention TriSwim group, Saturday morning 8am practice is canceled unfortunately, as Coach Nick is out of town. You are more than welcome to still go and swim at the pool. Have a great evening.
