When those improve, distance per stroke increases automatically. Forcing it just introduces dead spots. That’s why good swimmers accept small

An efficient stroke NEEDS to be the foundation upon which you build your speed. Here I’m demonstrating how counting your strokes every day can help keep you accountable and motivated by challenging yourself to get faster in fewer strokes. And you don’t need any fancy equipment to do it. Clip taken at our @theclinicw in San Luis Potosí this past weekend. #swimming #swimmer #swim #swimcoach #swimmers #swimmingcoach #swiming #swimsmooth #swimfast #swimtechnique | Brent Hayden
