In this episode, learn two simple tricks to add extra power to your swim stroke.
Move further, faster through the water with each stroke by generating more propulsion with greater efficiency.
The drills that will do this are 1) the "water bottle" drill (which works really effectively in combination with the fist drill I discussed in the last episode: https://youtu.be/zLJekigBg6A)...
And 2) the triceps push drill to enhance your stroke completion, enabling you to travel a greater distance per stroke thanks to the additional propulsion.
It's not uncommon for athletes to see an improvement of upto 10 seconds per 100m almost instantly after incorporating these 2 aspects into their swimming.
Of course it takes time and practice to embed stroke improvements into your swim technique over the long term, but seeing quick results like this really help keep you motivated to practice!
If your CSS pace is in the region of 1:30/100m or slower, you really don't want to miss this as there's a very good chance there's a significant yet simple time saving to be had for you.
