You can greatly improve your speed by changing your head postion.  Your head position determines your body position. It’s like the driver behind the wheel of a car, it determines where it goes.

Three keys to remember about head position:

  1. Look down or slightly forward – This keeps your legs high in the water, reducing drag.
  2. Breath towards your shoulder – I see a lot of swimmers breathing forward which throws their body out of alignment. Breathe towards your shoulder and keep one goggle in the water.
  3. Tuck your chin in – This lengthens the back of your neck and and is the crux of freestyle head position.

  1. Good work guys – excellent examples of what NOT to do followed by what TO DO! The other underlying problem I see with my swimmers is this leads to potential cramping as the body core line is interrupted and drags…. Keep up the good work – love the video representations!

Brenton and Mitch were great to work with at the clinic, Good to get video analysis to work on straight away, practice some new drills and go home knowing what you need to work on.
