Pointing Toes For Faster Swimming #theraceclub

This one small error that many swimmers make without realizing it absolutely wrecks speed. Letting your feet hang is like stepping on the brakes in a car.Dropping your feet is basically slamming on the brakes. Whether off a dive, a turn, or right after a dolphin kick it dramatically raises frontal drag.

By simply pointing your toes as demonstrated in this video swimmers may retain their speed as much as 9 percent. It’s an easy way to boost stroke efficiency and overall pace with little additional energy demands.

Be sure to try this out during your next swim and for more information on how we did this test and others like it check out our premium services on our website.
