In today’s episode, we’re diving into a Q&A session where I will answer your questions submitted on Instagram! Tune in for helpful tips and insights on how to improve your swimming.

00:48 I tried adjusting my head position, but my legs still sit too low. Do you have any recommendations?
02:42 How do you keep your hand up and gliding during the reach phase?
05:26 How do I ensure I feel my lats during a workout rather than my traps and upper back?
06:47 I went from a 1:45 to a 1:32 pace in four months, thanks to you. Now I’m hitting a wall. Any advice?
09:04 Can you explain the timing for rotation in catch phase?
13:18 How long does it take to go from being a leisurely swimmer to a highly competent swimmer?
15:48 How do you improve the skill of feeling the water?
19:20 When I push hard on the pull, it speeds up my entire process. How do I keep the cadence regular?
22:20 First focus priority, kick or catch?
23:25 Why is swimming focused on rep time cycles instead of work-to-rest ratios?
24:38 My stomach drops but my head and legs are up, resulting in this weird U-shaped form. How do I fix it?
26:31 Send your questions!

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.
