Today we are focusing on counting our strokes. It doesn’t matter which stroke you choose. But it does matter how many strokes you take. Remember even though you might be moving your arms and legs as fast as you possibly can you might not be efficient with those strokes. Meaning you might be wasting a whole lot of effort for your speed. Slow down today and count your strokes. Make these strokes count and make sure you aren’t getting lazy. It might even help to get a friend to video your swim so you can make sure you are swimming efficiently. If you need help with your analysis, you know where to find me (Coaching Tab Above) Enjoy your swim!
