Stop swimming with your head up ❌

Swimming with your head up is making you slower. Water is 800 times more dense than air, so poor alignment creates massive drag.

When your head is up, your hips drop. To fix your body position and save energy, remember these 4 pillars:

Align your spine: Keep your head neutral to help your hips and legs float higher.

Fix your gaze: Don't look at your toes or the end of the pool.

Look down: Keep your eyes on the floor, about one meter in front of your face.

Reduce drag: Proper positioning helps you swim faster using significantly less effort.
