Why Triathletes Shouldn’t Skip the Kick in Swimming
The idea that triathletes should “save their legs” during the swim is one I don’t fully agree with. That said, I’ll admit there’s a degree of truth to it—after all, both cycling and running are extremely leg-dominant. But the belief that holding back your kick in the water is a smart strategy?

Mimicry Learning
‘If you build it, they will come’; might work for fans but it doesn’t work for learning. You need to go find it or get pointed in the right direction. Swimming is very different from every day life.

So if you tell any age of person, to kick, they would wind up and…

Adam Peaty’s 100m Breast Final in Paris
The finishing stroke was the difference. As Peaty came under the flags with five metres to go he was fractionally ahead of Nic Fink and Italian Nicolo Martinenghi. However he was on a half stroke. What it means to be on a half stroke is that with only five metres to go you need to adjust your length of stroke so that on your last stroke you can finish on a full stretch. The red lane markings…
I’m Too Tired To Swim
Being tired is normal. It can be mental or it can be physical, and also it can be both. The problem is differentiating between them, and in particular, when it is both. Physical tiredness is when we exercise exceptionally hard and that stress is enough to force your body to adapt. For a time afterwards you will be rebuilding your cells and refilling your depleted energy resources. This does not…

A Barbaric Stroke
In the early Victorian era (1800s), swimmers were generally from a class of people who had leisure time; rich folk who did not work ie: gentlemen. Swimming was not common as swimming pools were rare and not many middle class people had time to spare to take up leisure sports. There was no leisure for lower class; ever. Victorian ideals placed gentlemen and their ideals on a pedestal. However…
