Many people BELIEVE that swimming is hard or tiring. Train your mindset that you are doing your mental and physical health a huge favor!!! Keep pushing, even when you think you can’t. It just takes “one more stroke”, “one more lap” and then BOOM, you’ve never swam more in your life!!! It’s you against your last swim. PUSH!!!!! How grateful it is that you can swim regularly and take care of yourself!!

Stamina is the ability to sustain physical or mental effort over a period of time without becoming exhausted. Swimming is a physical AND mental game!! What are some exercises or tricks you can do to build it? 1. Do not breathe until 3 strokes AFTER you flip turn before bilateral breathing. This helps train your lungs to endure more and will soon become a habit 2. Utilize kick boards AND pull buoys to enhance muscle strength so when you actually do the stroke, it will feel much lighter 3. Do multiple drills and continue to elongate the duration of them 4. Push yourself harder by not taking as many breaks (mental strength!!) Your body and mind can endure more than you think!!!

Hello everyone... It's my 3rd time trying to learn how to swim and it's hard. I can't seem to let go of the noodle. My legs don't move correctly and sometimes only one is actually moving.

If it doesn't rain i won't be able to swim laps for a couple weeks

For the past year I’ve been trying to get my 400m under 8mins and under 2:00/100m. Last week I came so close, doing it in 8:04, this morning I finally got there !! Now to make it consistent !
