Freestyle - Eyes UP Catch
Getting stuck in a swimming mantra, or a generally accepted "way" to do things, is very typical of all swimmers. Breaking through to find the way that works specifically for YOU is atypical, but necessary for you to reach your potential. The mantra that yours eyes should be looking DOWN is one of those mantras that each swimmer needs to examine for him... or her self.
Training - Lezak Pullouts
Whenever we have a chance to work with a great athlete, we always learn little tidbits that keep the sport fun. Jason Lezak shared with us a story of his training at Rose Bowl Aquatics in which they did 8 x 200 meters, with 8 "pullouts" at the end of each length.
