The Momentum Entry

Effortless Swimming ·

2013/06/13

I’ve been doing a lot of one-on-one stroke correction sessions where we do underwater filming, where we get great footage of the swimmer. We then do analysis on the computer and then we jump back in the water and we go through some drills and exercises to help the swimmer improve their stroke. One of […] The post The Momentum Entry appeared first on Effortless Swimming.

2013/06/04

If you swim in open water whether you’re a triathlete, an open water swimmer or you just enjoy swimming out in the sea or in the lake then, you’ll need to be sighting because it’s very easy to go off track and off course if you’re not sighting. There are two main ways to sight. […] The post The Easy Way To Sight in Open Water appeared first on Effortless Swimming.

If You Don’t Think Kick Is Important…

2013/05/27

If you’ve worn a band in your freestyle before, some of those rubber bands or those synthetic bands that you can tie around your feet so that you don’t kick…then you’ll know just how important it is to kick to balance and time your stroke. When you’ve got a band on, it keeps your feet […] The post If You Don’t Think Kick Is Important… appeared first on Effortless Swimming.

How to Get Your Hand Entry Right

Effortless Swimming ·

2013/05/20

Last month I did a one-on-one stroke correction session with a swimmer and she was entering too early in her freestyle. So she was entering her hand before she needed to which meant that she was creating a drag as she extended forward. So we needed to move her hand entry out a little bit.

How To Breathe To Your Opposite Side In Freestyle

Effortless Swimming ·

2013/05/06

When you are looking to breath to your other side in freestyle, sometimes it can be challenging because most of the time you’re used to breathing in to one side and the other side, you haven’t got that practiced and sometimes isn’t as comfortable as it is breathing to the opposite side. So if you […] The post How To Breathe To Your Opposite Side In Freestyle appeared first on Effortless Swimming.

Why Do You Do It?

2013/04/16

I know that when I haven’t set a goal for the next couple of months to train towards it is very difficult to get myself off to the pool to get training. If there is nothing to look forward to then there is really no reason to get yourself out of bed early in the […] The post Why Do You Do It? appeared first on Effortless Swimming.

How To Be More Confident In Open Water

Effortless Swimming ·

2013/04/01

I went down to watch the Ironman Melbourne this weekend which was absolutely awesome. There were over 2000 competitors starting at once in the age group category. It was pretty choppy conditions and it was really rough particularly out the back. Quite a few swimmers I saw started the race and then said no I […] The post How To Be More Confident In Open Water appeared first on Effortless Swimming.

The “Fake” Catch

2013/04/01

What could I mean by the fake catch? I have spoken a little bit about this in our online coahing program this week as well. Quite a few swimmers enter at an angle like that rather than keeping their hand flat there. The reason why some swimmers do it is because entering like that means that […] The post The “Fake” Catch appeared first on Effortless Swimming.

The Locked Elbow Pull

Effortless Swimming ·

2013/03/19

If we look at the freestyle catch one of the biggest mistakes swimmers often make is that they will enter and extend forward and lock their elbow out for longer than they need to. What that often causes them to do is push down on the water and then pull through. They are only catching […] The post The Locked Elbow Pull appeared first on Effortless Swimming.

2013/03/13

If you look at the top swimmers, Olympians or the swimmers of really good ability – they look like fish in the water. It looks like the water is their second home. Compare that to someone who is brand new, they’ll usually be tense, nervous and they’re fighting the water.

Should You Wear A Wetsuit?

Effortless Swimming ·

2013/02/28

Do you need to wear a wetsuit? I have been doing a number of triathlons lately and what I have noticed is that in the shorter events, the sprint triathlons where you are doing 400m – 500m swim the majority of swimmers are wearing wetsuits when the water is not to cold. I believe based […] The post Should You Wear A Wetsuit? appeared first on Effortless Swimming.
