How to Swim – The 2 Killer Secrets to a Smoother Freestyle
Power words are words which if thought about while performing an action, can improve that action dramatically. For example, imagine a golfer lining up to sink a 6 yard putt on the 18th hole. He needs to sink this shot for the win. The pressure on him to perform is enormous.
Now pause for a moment. What do you think a professional golfer would be saying to himself? “HARD AND FAST…HARD AND FAST” or “STEADY…STEADY…”.
The latter of course.
In swimming it is no different. There are two power words which if thought about and repeated while swimming, your swimming will immediately improve. Not only in the way it feels, but in speed, in ease and in smoothness.
These two words are “LONG” and “RELAXED”.
Repeat them when you’re swimming.
“LONG” and “RELAXED”.
When I use this technique with swimmers who are starting out or have little experience, the results are dramatic. It’s common to have swimmers tell me they ‘finally get it’ once they experience swimming long and relaxed.
What do I mean by ‘long’?
Swimming ‘long’ means to be as torpedo like as possible. You should imagine yourself reaching for the wall in each stroke and pulling right back past your hip. The longer you can make your body the less resistance you will create and the faster you will go.
What do I mean by ‘relaxed’?
To go faster in swimming, you need to relax your body. Contrary to what comes natural when we attempt to speed up, you must relax your arms, your shoulders and your legs to increase your speed. Rather than swimming ‘tense’, relax your muscles and allow yourself to power through the water without fighting it. This is absolute key to swimming fast.
During your next workout, imagine yourself swimming ‘long’ and ‘relaxed’ and instantly see the benefits.

How can I imrpove my breath count during freestyle swimming?
Normally I’ll take 1 breath for every 2 strokes (every time my right arm comes up) but my coach wants me to drop that to at least 3 if not 4 during practice and somewhere around 6 during competition (I’m a sprinter). I have a lot of body area with massive oxygen needs and my 100 free time will go from a 1:11 with 2 breaths to around a 1:17 with 3 breaths.
Some of my workouts include the 3 breath one but what else can I do? Is there a legal vitamin/supplement that I can take to increase my body’s oxygen retention or what other drills can I do during practice?
