Swimming tips from master of liquid at https://360swim.com/tips
๐ŸŠ๐ŸŒŠ #96: Hips Hips Hips. It seems simple, but try to think of your freestyle swimming stroke starting with the hip roll. You have to drive your top hip down in order to have smooth transition from side to side. "Say no to swimming on your stomach and get skating from hip to hip".

๐ŸŠ๐ŸŒŠ #95: ?While swimming in open water, you need to be able to sight (raise your head) to see whether you are swimming straight or not. When you do this, your legs drop which causes you to loose speed. Next time you sight forward, increase your kick speed for a slight bit during the time you are raising your head, this will keep your legs from sinking too much.

๐ŸŠ๐ŸŒŠ #94: Do not bring your high elbow freestyle approach from your pool to the open water. Open up your stroke a bit more by not bending your elbows above the water too much. Keep those arms more straight when going through the air and you will will feel much better rhythm and by swinging your straighter arm, you will have more momentum in it.

๐ŸŠ๐ŸŒŠ #93: Hips are an integral part of swimming. So use them. Each rotation you do in backstroke or freestyle starts with the hips. Get use to it by doing some vertical kicking while rotating hips from side to side after 6 kicks. Roll your hips :). Find more swim advice at ๐ŸŒŠ Keep on #swimming
๐ŸŠ๐ŸŒŠ #92: Composing your swim workouts isn't easy & even though there is a lot of workout samples floating around on the net adapting it to your ability is not much easier. Keep it simple. Pick one area of your stroke to focus on & just evolve your workout around it. Why not work on kicking this weekend with a good vertical kick set 10x30s ON / 30s OFF and keep the body nice & tall (no toilet sitting postures). Find more swim advice at ๐ŸŒŠ Keep on #swimming
๐ŸŠ๐ŸŒŠ Swimming Tip #91: Get back to basics this weekend and challenge yourself to slow down and work on side balance drills and rotation drills, so basically you only need your legs :). Bring fins to make it more fun and so you can focus on body position and not trying to survive. Keep those hips at the surface and eyes on the bottom of the pool when not breathing.

๐ŸŠ๐ŸŒŠ #90: Let's do some resistance training this weekend. Grab a pair of shorts with at least one pocket and swim a set of 10 x 50 where you have 10meters/yards all out swim for every 25. The rest is easy. Work on rotating your arms as fast as possible while maintaining 6 beat kick (3 kicks for every one arm stroke). Find more swim advice at ๐ŸŒŠ Keep on #swimming
