Episode notes
Fitness Not the Swimming Limiter
- Fitness often isn't the main limit for runners or cyclists in swimming performance.
- Swimming skill flaws, not fitness, usually cause slower swim times for multisport athletes.
Fist Drill for Better Propulsion
- Train swimming with closed fists to improve water propulsion by increasing forearm engagement.
- Alternate 25m fist drill with 25m normal stroke, focusing on feeling the water on your forearm.
011 Drill for Body Rotation
- Practice the 011 drill by swimming lengths using no arms, one arm, then both arms to train body rotation.
- Use your kick to initiate hip and shoulder rotation for more efficient and powerful swimming.
