A lot of us really complicate things in the water, but today we’re looking at a few “simple” concepts that can really make a difference in your swim speed. We’ll look at how and why to master these techniques and what it will mean for your overall enjoyment of the sport and the swim. These are not drills, they are effective and relatively simple techniques that you must make second nature before you will get faster. We also look at Louisville 70.3 and the panic around water and road conditions.
