Episode Description from the Publisher

Today we will be going over three of the most common mistakes swimmers make while trying to master the freestyle stroke. Mistake Number One: Not Looking at the Bottom of the Pool: All too often, swimmers lose track of their arm movements when they look away too far. Looking down at the bottom of the pool helps you keep a constant rhythm and reduces the risk of swimming off-course. Mistake Number Two: Not Focusing on Body Position: Another mistake swimmers make is not maintaining a proper body position. Keeping your head and body aligned in a straight line helps you cut through the water with less resistance and allows a faster and smoother stroke. Mistake Number Three: Not Bracing the Core: Many swimmers forget to brace their core when swimming freestyle. Bracing the core helps stabilize the body and allows for more efficient and powerful arm movements to increase your speed.
