used to last 50m freestyle, started reducing stroke pace and force applied (especially with the legs), now I swim more efficient while being just as "fast" and can last hundreds of meters
THIS IS SO SPOOKY,while swimming today i wondered if GTN had a video on hand position as in fingers closed, open slightly, arm position etc....come in from work open RUclips and up pops this video *unbelievable!😯
Well, blow me down, I never knew that about the finger spacing in the hand. I have been cupping my hands and getting very little forward propulsion. It's genuinely new information and I will try it this week - thank you for that. I reckon I have lead for bones in my legs so still working on getting them to float as well.
What else have you tried to improve your swimming efficiency? 🏊♀
Head positioning.

I like that forearm drill with paddle. Will try that next time out.
Making all the mistakes.
I always feel a shortness of breath when swimming no clue why.
Absolutely nothing about my swimming form is relaxed so we‘re not looking good on that front.
The only mistake I don't make when swimming is stopping swimming. All others are a giant check mark.
