@@FaresKsebati first meet done came in last on all four events but not bad for a 42 year old who never swam competitively before and against 18 year olds and two guys who swam in college! Was only a 10 second spread between last and first place on the 50 m breast stroke I did. My 11 year old daughter beat my 200 freestyle time by 20 seconds (I am proud)! Was a blast overall!

I always swam the 200 free like my hair was on fire the entire time, focusing on going all out the 3rd 50, and trying to hang on the last 50. Everybody has a different approach. It's a sprint. You have to treat it as such.

Great set and video, I was wondering given my kick is poor, can snorkels be used in the drills and if not, is there a way to improve my kick; I’ve always been poor at it through my career, although uniquely on freestyle kick, on back, fly and breast I’m about average at the kick for my relative skill. Thanks :)
@FaresKsebati Жыл бұрын
Good question! Snorkels are a great piece of equipment for technique! Many drills focus on slowing down the arms and using the legs, so this is a great chance to focus on your kick. If you can, try to do more kick sets when you train and focus on small, fast kicks with and without a board. Hope this helps :)

Not sure if you were mostly kidding or being serious. If it’s the latter definitely work on getting that dps as low as possible. Preferably less than 7 (in a 25m pool). That leads to the second thing, pullouts. I had a swimmer who graduated this past year. His speed wasn’t great but was able to still go 0:59 in the 100 yard. He killed it on the pullouts.
