Basics of competitive Swimming this really works!


  1. Bullet    “Swimming” “Faster” is “Fun” -- each word is essential

  2. Bullet    Goggles -- choosing, adjusting, what champions see

  3. Bullet    Suits -- they why, what, how, and how much

  4. Bullet    Beat the clock


Principles OF COMPETITIVE TRAINING -- no just philosophy


  1. Bullet    3 Main Principles -- Specificity, specificity, specificity

  2. Bullet    Repeat this as you practice: “3 degrees, 3 degrees, 3 degrees...”

  3. Bullet    Only what gets measured gets mastered

  4. Bullet    Principles can’t be broken but every swimmer is unique

  5. Bullet    Learn from the worst; ignore the best (sometimes)

  6. Bullet    Never, ever, get wet without a goal

  7. Bullet    Never leave a training wall without a reason

  8. Bullet    Win daily/Lose daily

  9. Bullet    How to leave a wall -- streamline

  10. Bullet    Measure the first stroke - distance, time, breakout

  11. Bullet    Increase power or reduce drag --- can I have both?

  12. Bullet    Video underwater and watch all practices that matter (they all matter)

  13. Bullet    What have you done between practices?

  14. Bullet    One stroke is all that matters -- direction, length, velocity.

  15. Bullet    Rhythm, the chapter usually left out, ta da da; daa-da-dup

  16. Bullet    How to swim fingernails to toenails, phalanges to phalanges

  17. Bullet    Under 4 in the 5 -- set dream goals and pursue them with passion.

  18. Bullet    Swim suits lie

  19. Bullet    Eat, sleep, learn, bleed -- do you swim or are you a swimmer?

  20. Bullet    10 Habits, the short lesson in fun living

  21. Bullet    Physical, Mental, Spiritual -- leave no stone unturned


Equip Excellence


  1. Bullet    Measuring equipment

  2. Bullet    The right books; the right aps

  3. Bullet    Specificity revisited; Why pull-ups don’t matter

  4. Bullet    Are kickboards and pull buoys good? No. Yes. It depends.

  5. Bullet    In-water-overload and adaptation to imposed demands

  6. Bullet    Out-of water advantages -- see, hear, isolate, summate, re-create

  7. Bullet    Why and why not Racks, towers and small paddles

  8. Bullet    Does it work? Charting correlation for you

  9. Bullet    Competing with the world; competing with yourself

  10. Bullet    Mirror mirror on the head, in the pool, behind the computer, in the gym

  11. Bullet    Video: hands free, coach free, or coached. It’s not just cool but do it right.

  12. Bullet    Pace equipment --

  13. Bullet    Benches and “3 degrees”

  14. Bullet    Paddles and rhythm

  15. Bullet    Paddles and specificity

  16. Bullet    Paddles and progression

  17. Bullet    Fins and specificity, rhythm, and progression

  18. Bullet    Stroke by stroke, kick by kick inventions

  19. Bullet    Motion by motion inventions

  20. Bullet    The myth and genius of core training

  21. Bullet    Cross training without wasting time and building useless bulk

  22. Bullet    Creativity by aligning core principles with effective feedback.
