Swimming Workout - 4 Amazing Tips For a Faster Freestyle

1) Body Alignment

At Swimming Workout we believe your body alignment is the foundation for your highest quality stroke. There are four major pieces to align. First segment is your head. Your head should be in a natural position like when you are standing. Second, are your shoulders. They should be centered in your body. Third segment is your chest. Your chest shouldn't be too far forward or backwards. The last segment is your lower back. 80% of the arch in your lower back should be removed. This will allow for energy to transfer through your entire body.

2) Not pushing down when you are breathing

Pushing your lead arm or your anchoring arm when you breathe leads to inefficiency by removing half to three-quarters of your anchor and by creating force downwards. This creates a stroke that is moving up and down or "bouncing".

3) Holding the water and Making it feel thick

When swimming your workout you should constantly be aware of what the water feels like and how it is moving over your body and limbs. Once you have the awareness them see if you can make the water feel thick on your anchors. This creates a better feel and hold of the water.

4) Smooth and Even Rotation

Your rotation is key for two major reasons. One, think of it as like you are trying to hit a home run. Can you just swing the bat without using your body? No. Same thing in swimming. You must use your body to create the power and connection to be fast. Second, it must be smooth to stay within the rhythm of the stroke. A cycling of the energy rather than a stop-start style of swimming is 100% more efficient.
