Bob is currently based in Evanston, Illinois working on a project with the Chicago Park District.  Grew up swimming in Hinsdale, Illinois.  Who was Doc Counsilman to you? "Being on deck with him was like going to a seminar every day." - Bob Groseth A Master Class on Drag and Resistance.  "Remember, we also use drag for thrust." - Bob Groseth How did the shiny suits help us in terms of drag? And ultimately how'd that help move swimming forward? The Tennis Ball Trick. Where should my head position be? Streamlining.  What makes Adam Peaty so fast? Underwater dolphin kicking. Two important drills.  Get rid of your underwater pullout? Where can swim coaches learn more about drag and resistance? Life in Moving Fluids. Study of Fluid Motion. Subscribe, Review, Share!
