Episode Notes
One of the most common things I see in newer swimmers… is how flat they are in the water.
Their hips are flat, their shoulders are flat — and what ends up happening is they just spin their wheels.
They're putting in a lot of effort with the arms, kicking hard with the legs… but nothing is really connecting.
It feels like hard work — but it doesn't translate into speed.
So in today's episode, we're going to break down why swimming flat is holding you back… and how to start linking everything together so your stroke actually works as one powerful, efficient system.
