What if you could go from struggling at 2:20 per hundred to cruising at 1:55? Today’s guest, Fraser Hill, did exactly that, and he’s sharing exactly how he did it. Fraser started swimming as an adult, dabbled in triathlons, and eventually found himself diving deep into the world of technique, training, and open water swimming.
From joining an effortless swimming camp in the Maldives, to refining his stroke using simple but powerful cues, Fraser has transformed not only his speed, but his entire approach to swimming. In this episode, we talk about the key changes that made the biggest impact on his speed. The mental battles of open water swimming and how small tweaks like fixing body position and connecting the stroke led to massive breakthroughs.
If you’ve ever felt stuck in your swimming progress, Fraser’s story will give you some practical takeaways to help you break through your own barriers.
