Swimming tips from master of liquid at https://360swim.com/tips
๐ŸŠ๐ŸŒŠ #119: Why not do a reverse catch up on freestyle. Instead of your hands catching up at the front, let them catch up at your hips. Make sure to have a good hip rotation and spend the same amount of time on both sides of your body. Find more swim advice at ๐ŸŒŠ Keep on #swimming
๐ŸŠ๐ŸŒŠ #114: Let's work on rhythm and constant arm motion during freestyle this weekend. Do not focus so much on the high elbow catch, instead focus on maintaining a constant cadence without decreasing speed. Each time you glide, your body slows down and it takes extra energy to pick up the speed again on the next stroke cycle. Find more swim advice at ๐ŸŒŠ Keep on #swimming
๐ŸŠ๐ŸŒŠ #113: Improve your dolphin kick by exaggerating the wave. Get on your side with the bottom arm extended and top arm by your side. Dolphin kick from side to side as if you would like to kick the lane rope. The kick should involve your entire body, so get waving. Find more swim advice at ๐ŸŒŠ Keep on #swimming
๐ŸŠ๐ŸŒŠ #112: One of the biggest hurdles we have when learning to swim is our flexibility. Forget about swimming this weekend and just give it a stretch and get in a habit of stretching those ankles, shoulders, lats and neck, so you can leverage your swimming body to full potential.

๐ŸŠ๐ŸŒŠ #111: Training for triathlon might seem insane, but if you break it down to the basics, you just need to do something every day. Be it swimming or core workout or transition routine. What are you up to this weekend? Find more swim advice at ๐ŸŒŠ Keep on #swimming
๐ŸŠ๐ŸŒŠ #108: To figure out how to keep your hand when swimming to catch the most water, try sticking it out of the car while you are driving and feel the pressure of the air against your palm. Manipulate your fingers and palm until you find the optimal surface area where it provides the most pressure. (at your own risk :)) Find more swim advice at ๐ŸŒŠ Keep on #swimming
๐ŸŠ๐ŸŒŠ #106: Ask a friend to take a video of you swimming and then see how you do. It is priceless to see it. If you want me to have a look, just send me the link to it from Dropbox or Youtube and I will give you some comments. Find more swim advice at ๐ŸŒŠ Keep on #swimming
๐ŸŠ๐ŸŒŠ #105: To practice your breaststroke kick, you can start on your back :). Lay on your back, arms along side of your body and do the breaststroke kick. Make sure that your knees stay below the surface pressing your hips up and your heels can even touch your fingertips when you bring them to your butt. #swimtip Find more swim advice at ๐ŸŒŠ Keep on #swimming
๐ŸŠ๐ŸŒŠ #104: Learning to breathe to both sides is one thing, but being able to maintain a straight body line while breathing every stroke is quite hard. Try it out. Breathe to one side and then right away to the next every so often and see if you can maintain a straight swim. Find more swim advice at ๐ŸŒŠ Keep on #swimming
๐ŸŠ๐ŸŒŠ #103: Don't feel like you have to swim full butterfly all the time. Shorten the distance and do one arm swimming with proper body/arms/legs coordination. This is much better for you than swimming full butterfly. Find more swim advice at ๐ŸŒŠ Keep on #swimming
๐ŸŠ๐ŸŒŠ #101: Swim a longer distance like 300-500 and in the middle of each lap do a 360 degree flip in a nice tucked ball and continue swimming. Make it very smooth, engaging your body, so you do not need to use your arms to continue swimming. The momentum should flip you over all the way. Find more swim advice at ๐ŸŒŠ Keep on #swimming
