Let's see... does anyone want to improve technique, reduce injuries and swim faster? Try incorporating some of these basic swimming principals in the video below during your next swim. (Video is about 5 minutes)

These simple focus points can be included in warm up, part of a main set or cool down. By breaking the stroke down into components, it helps you identify not only your strengths, but your weaknesses. Is my entry to wide, too narrow? Am I setting a good catch or dropping my elbow? Is my recovery relaxed? Sometimes just focussing on one of these can help reset your swimming stroke and help you find balance in the water. Repetition through deliberate practice while training in the pool or on the Vasa Ergometer will help you maximize your time spent training.
