HOME   SWIMMING TIPS - Breathing, Swimming faster...

Swimming Tips 1 - Most swim coaches agree that stretching is one of the most important warm ups for swimmers. Stretch thoroughly before swim lessons and before every meet.

Swimming Tips 2 - Seek to have perfect form while swimming. This will inevitably bring speed because it improves the efficiency of each stroke.

Swimming Tips 3 - Take time to study the famous swimmers of the past. You can learn from their stories, their mistakes, and their advice. Read swimming books and swimmer's biographies.

Swimming Tips 4 - Drink lots of fluids. Keep a sports bottle with you filled with fresh water or Gatorade. Sip regulartly throughout your practices and competitions.

Swimming Tips 5 - Practice inhalation and exhalation. Most younger swimmers will complain about not being able to breathe when they swim. They'll often hold their breath. They need to slow down when they're practicing and concentrate on inhaling when their face is out of the water, and exhaling when it's in.


Swimming Tips 6 - Before you practice swimming faster, practice perfecting your technique. It is the perfect technique that must work with speed to win the competitions.

Swimming Tips 7 - Give it your all but don't be discouraged if you lose. There will always be someone out there that swims faster or better than you. This is life.

Swimming Tips 8 - If you want to swim faster in your meets, swim faster in your practice sessions.

Swimming Tips 9 - Learning to breathe less while swimming is preferrable. But you musn't stop breathing. You must maintain a balance between the two.

Swimming Tips 10 - Don't forget to "warm down" after swim training. Your body needs to recoup from the intense training you just subjected it to. Swim slow hundred meter laps and take your time. Studies have shown warming down also decreases sudden heart attacks due to over-training.

Swimming Tips 11 -In the butterfly use your hips, in the breaststroke use that underwater pull, in the backstroke fast arms and underwater kick and in the freestyle reach as far as possible. -MG
