10. You Swim Alone. For most people, swimming with a masters team
or training group will help you get to the pool, to push yourself and to have
more fun training
9. You don’t swim often enough. Elite
swim specialists swim 8 – 12 sessions per week. While that isn’t possible for multisport
athletes, realize that much of your adaptation will come through frequency.
Finding a way to add a session or two per week could help you improve.
8. You don’t swim enough volume. In swimming,
efficiency is acquired through volume. Even with lots of technique work, there
are some things that you just need to swim to acquire. Bump your workout volume
up by 20% for a while and see what happens.
7.You don’t utilize interval training.
Always swimming long distances or just jumping in and lap swimming will not
help you improve beyond the bottom of the learning curve. Interval training
works. Do it.
6. Your training plan does not push progression.
Your main set each day should have a specific goal attached to it that is part
of a larger plan. If your sets do not contain a specific interval and a
specific time goal for each repeat, you will plateau quickly. Descriptions like
“medium effort or “fast” are ambiguous and not specific enough to push
progression past the beginning stages of your potential.
5. You don’t swim fast enough. Even
though you may be training for a long distance swim, you need speed work to
push the ceiling of your capabilities and make room for your improved pace at
longer distances. If you can only go a 1:20 100 all out, you are not going to
be able to hold 1:25’s for a mile. Bring that top end speed down to 1:15 and it
becomes possible.
4.You don’t take enough rest on your speed
work. Don’t be afraid to take lots of rest of your speed work. If you
are trying to improve speed, it is better to go 1:10’s with 2 minutes rest than
1:12’s with :30 rest.
3. You don’t stretch. If you can’t get
your arms comfortably over your head or plantar flex your foot past the line of
your shin bone, you are fighting your own flexibility. Spend some time after
each training session addressing any mobility issues you may have.
2. You are frustrated. The secret to
swimming efficiently and fast is RELAXATION. There is a tension and relaxation
rhythm in swimming that highly skilled swimmers use. Although nothing can take
the place of many years in the pool, learning to relax and not battle the water
will speed the process. Sometimes you make things happen, sometimes you let
things happen. Know the difference.
1. Your technique is holding you back.
Because water is around 800 times denser than air, technique errors can have
catastrophic impacts on your swimming speed. One meaningful stroke correction
can have a larger impact on your speed than almost any amount of training. If
you can, swim with a coach that has a proven track record of success. If you
can’t find a program nearby, find a coaching resource that you can work with
periodically to keep your technique sharp.
Last week I attend a seminar on “Classroom Management” and I learned something new in this arena. I learned to keep good behavior in classroom, dignity with respect, good tool for teaching, discipline -without stress and punishment and essay service is there to help.
