7 Ways Swimmers Can Stick to Core Values

How Swimmers Can Develop Exceptional Core Values

Swimming is a physically demanding sport. The breathing, the timing of the strokes, the endless yards in the pool. The early morning swim workouts, the doubles, the five-day long swim meets.

How Swimmers Can Develop a Victor Mindset

Doing big things in the water is hard enough… But what makes it infinitely harder is when we bring a victim mindset to the pool.

The Swimmer's Blueprint for Laser Focus at Swim Practice

Staying focused at practice can be challenging. And for a lot of swimmers, they get a little lost when it comes to focusing properly. Should I be focusing on how much agony I am in?
