Review your Swimming

Did you know that NBA players are constantly watching their basketball games afterwards? They watch to see what they need to improve on and how to make their plays more successful. Swimmers should incorporate this into their training as well instead of just at the end of the year. By reviewing your swimming throughout the season, you can achieve more success and reduce errors.

Often times, practices can be boring and swimmers lose interest. During practice, you may not have a sense of direction or desire. If you begin replaying your competitions regularly, you can relive your passion and let it drive you. If you are constantly watching your meets you can get a grasp on your performances and get greater consistency. This serves as a great reminder of what your goals are and where you are currently. 

Another great benefit from reviewing your swimming is that is a record of your progress. Have you heard the quote, “Day to day nothing changes, but when you look back everything is different?” Progress is such an important thing to track and it’s great to look back to see how far you’ve come. When you realize how far you have come, you can visualize how far you can go! You’ll be on track in no time to reach your goals.

 

Try incorporating swim fins or some pull buoys or weights to advance your training! If you are looking for more of an aerobic workout, grab some barbell floats, resistance hand bars, or wrist/ankle weights!
