- Diving and Underwater Skills.
- Speed and Endurance Training.
- Personalized Swim Workouts.
In-depth Explanations with Actionable Insights:
Advanced Breathing Techniques: Effective breathing is crucial for advanced swimming. Bilateral breathing, or breathing on both sides, helps maintain balance and symmetry in stroke. To practice, swim freestyle, and focus on turning your head to alternate sides with each breath without lifting your head too high out of the water.
Stroke Refinement and Efficiency: Advanced swimmers work on minimizing resistance and maximizing propulsion. One method to achieve this is by perfecting the ‘high elbow’ technique in freestyle, which involves keeping the elbow high during the underwater pull, ensuring a more effective catch ...
