So Dubai World Champs complete - didn’t get a PB but the water was mega choppy - swimming past the Burj was amazing - I would recommend the event to anyone. 9th in my category which I happy about, as I only started swimming again 6mths ago. Thanks Nick

Always good to hear what everyone’s training for — keeps the motivation high! @Jax Quant what events are you focusing on this year? Any ‘A-races’ or goals you’re building toward?

Want to swim faster, smoother, and more efficiently? Let’s break down your stroke from top to bottom: Gliding & Stretching – Each stroke should include a full second of glide to reduce bubbles and drag. Hip-Driven Rotation – Power comes from your hips, not your shoulders. Rotate on a long axis from head to feet for maximum efficiency. Arm & Hand Mechanics – Pull with your forearm, finish with your palm at 90° to your hip, and focus on a clean underwater path. Kicking Technique – Keep knees straight and legs tight to lift your body higher in the water and stay streamlined. Breathing Made Easy – Start inhaling when your hand is in line with your shoulder. Breathe big from the diaphragm, in through the mouth & nose, out the same way. Small tweaks to your technique = faster, stronger, more effortless swimming. 💡 Want personalised feedback?

Going to talk you through kicking and body rotation from your hips. We want to rotate on a long axis from your hips. So your arm stretch comes through. So as soon as your hand starts to move backwards, you rotate on a long axis from your head to your feet. I'm just going to talk you through your swim stroke. We're going to go through gliding, reaching, breathing, a little bit of kicking, do different angles, and you know what your arm should be doing underwater. So when you're basically as you're coming through is your hands want to reach and glide for one second every stroke, and that helps eliminate any bubbles in your stroke. Okay? So you can see, I'm now I'm going to start rotating from my hips. So you should be rotating on a long axis from your head to your feet. You know, drive the movement and the motion from your hips. So, your head and shoulders really want to try and stay still, but they will turn with the rest of your body as your hips turn, but they're not driving this. Your hips are. Okay. So, we're coming through like this and there. Okay. Now, if we slide onto your arms, we want to come through.
