Swimmers, take your mark

I'm sorry for the delay I've had a lot of training going on. I think you should do it. But maybe a coach would help with the motivation. I myself had to stop swimming fly due to a back injury but I think I am going not challenge that next season and try again. I miss the stroke but I hope you're doing better and keep me posted

Hi, fly used to be my specialty. I dedicated an entire season to the event so you're talking to the right person. That is a significant amount of time to drop, you have to be truly dedicated to it. Build your upper body and arm strength, do weights, push-ups and pull-ups. And straighten your core, a big part of fly is about the core. Your abs need to be strong to propel your legs, your legs always follow your core in fly. And swim fly whenever you get the chance in practice, you have to stay on top of it. When swimming it in a meet go all out, limit how many times you breathe like freestyle--breathing wastes times. And remember every little thing counts, your start and turns need to be on point and so does your finish. Those last few strokes are the "now or never moments" give it your all. I hope this helped. Please let me know as koi make progress and I hope you make the state cut! If you need anymore advice about anything please let me know! Best of luck! Train hard!

Practice honestly makes perfect with swim. Ask your coach or someone with swim knowledge to watch your turns and stars. For starts and turns I would check YouTube as a reference if you need to. Make sure for turns that you go in fast and make sure your legs are shoulder width apart when they hit the wall and as you kick off. Do not cross your legs when you kick off and do not breathe off your turns it wastes time. Same goes with starts don't breath off your streamline. Please let me know if you need any other pointers I would love to help out.

Hi stop breathing! And kick hella fast! For a 50 I only breathe once on the way back and I go a 25. It really comes down to breathing, it takes up a lot of times in sprints. And of course arm speed and kick are important. Also in the 50 there is no room for error along with the other sprints but make sure that everything is perfect, your start turn and streamline need to be perfect or else you won't get the time you want. In the 50 and sprints every little thing you do maters so strive for perfection. And don't breathe! I hope this helps. Update me with your times are your season goes on. Sign it as -panda just so I remember it's you (and I say panda only because I'm listening to that song rn lol)

Always shave with a fresh razor down there and I use conditioner and not shave gel it works better for me in that area. Also I apply plain scented Deodorant to the area after I shave, it seems to help. I saw it on Twitter once and gave it try and it works for me. I hope I helped. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi so you might be later than some to the game but it's ok. Just keep in mind that it will take time. Familiarize yourself with the strokes. There are four official strokes: butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, and freestyle(frontcrawl). You can familiarize yourself by hitting up YouTube and watching some videos. Keep in mind that a flipturn is only performed for freestyle and backstroke; for fly and breast you need to do an open turn-which is a two hand touch on the wall. As far as technique...that will take time, but don't be discouraged. If you keep at it and try your best you will get it. And don't be afraid to ask questions! Questions are how we learn. But also observe those around you. Honestly, watching others is how I learned a lot. It will be hard, your lungs will feel like they're on fire, you will have days where you might wanna call it a quits we all do but don't let that get to you. I hope this helped....please don't hesitate to ask me any questions if you have them.

Hi so it depends on what you're looking for with swim. If you wanna have a good season I would recommend going to club. I wouldn't say switch schools your senior year unless you're okay with that. And it depends on if you're swimming in college. If you are then you need to make the best decision so that you're prepared for college and so your times look good. I hope this helps. If you have other questions just lmk

Oh my gosh that is beyond exciting!!!!! I'm so sorry it took me a while to respond! Please keep me updated I hope you get it!!! Omg I'm so excited for you! Train hard, eat healthy, stretch a lot!!!

Hi I am so so sorry that I just saw this! I have been working a lot! I'll make it simple for you. 25= 1 length down (lap)50= 2 laps75= 3 laps100= 4 laps200=8 laps500=20 laps1000= 40 lapsNow 4x 200's simply means to swim 4, 200's, and a 200 is 8 laps. So in total for that set you will have swam 32 laps because 4 multiplied by 8 is 32. I hope that this helps. Again I am so sorry for the delay in response. Please ask me anything else if you need it!
