THINK CROCODILE EYES. 🐊
When sighting in open water, you don’t need to lift your entire head out of the water.
Lift only your eyes above the surface—like a crocodile—just enough to spot your landmark. Keeping your head low helps your hips stay higher and allows you to maintain your forward momentum.
Avoid going completely vertical to sight. The higher you lift your head, the more your hips and legs can drop, creating drag and interrupting your rhythm.
EYES UP. HEAD LOW. KEEP MOVING FORWARD.
Sight smart. Stay streamlined. Swim faster.

Your first hard effort shouldn’t be the moment your body realizes it’s time to swim.
A purposeful warm-up gives you time to settle into the water, find your rhythm, and reconnect with good technique before intensity increases.
And remember: warming up isn’t about piling on extra yards.
It’s about preparing your body to move well.
Start easy.
Find your form.
Build your effort.
Then go to work.
What’s one drill you always include in your swim warm-up?

Perfect form doesn’t happen by accident—and it doesn’t happen in one perfect practice.
It’s built one stroke at a time. Repeating the right movement. Paying attention to the details. Staying patient enough to let good technique become instinct.
Don’t chase perfection in a single swim. Practice with purpose until great form becomes your natural form.

No wrong answers. No judgment.
Speed? Endurance? Breathing? Body position? Open-water confidence? Maybe you simply want swimming to stop feeling so hard.

Sometimes identifying what you want to change is the first step toward actually changing it.
We’re listening.

BREATHE BOTH WAYS. SWIM MORE BALANCED.
Breathing to both your left and right helps create better balance and symmetry in your stroke.
When you consistently breathe to only one side, it can encourage uneven rotation and reinforce imbalances. Practicing bilateral breathing helps you become more comfortable rotating in both directions and gives you another option when conditions change in open water.
Balance your breathing.
Balance your stroke.
Swim smarter.

THROWBACK THURSDAY: REMEMBER YOUR FIRST TPS?
The first 100.
The first time you saw your stroke on video.
The drills that felt completely different.
And then…that moment when everything started to click.
At TriDot Pool School, we don’t just ask you to swim harder. We help you understand your stroke, rebuild it with purpose, and then put it to the test.
And the results? TPS athletes have experienced improvements ranging from 6% to 17% depending on their starting pace.
But today, we want to hear from YOU.
Where did you attend your first TPS—and what is the ONE thing you learned that changed the way you swim?
