So, yeah. Welcome to my blog. I'm pretty new to this, so bear with me. Please. Anyway, the goal here is to give the occasional tidbit on what I, in my infinite wisdom, think that you should do to make yourself a better swimmer. Now, I'm not talking drinking beers, chowing down on BBQ whilst hanging in the pool. I'm talking down and dirty, downright boring, lap-after-lap, swimming. Either for exercise or for racing.
If you're thinking about getting into the pool to work on your physique, to get into better overall shape, or to just plain-old avoid drowning while you're in the water, this is the blog for you. I can personally guarantee that if you read this, you'll doubtlessly become an Olympic calibre athlete within 4-5 weeks. But seriously, if you take some of this advice, apply it to what works for you, you'll probably see some results.
People often ask for the "secret"....I've got some really bad news. There is no secret. It's called getting in, doing the yardage, and letting drills, muscle exhaustion, and subconscious muscle-memory and muscle-correction take effect.
So who the hell am I? I was a wildly mediocre competitive swimmer, and am now, as most of us end up, a fat, pathetic coach. Truthfully, I swam 3.5 years of NCAA Division I and have coached, on and off, for the better part of a decade.
