Back from Charleston, SC workshop and it is very satisfying seeing swimmers improve.

Most people looking at the three students that I had last weekend would wonder why they would even want swimming lessons because the three already were swimming.

Yet over the weekend their stroke counts went from 21, 18 & 17 to 11, 11 & 10 as an efficiency measurement. They were also swimming 25s in twenty to twenty-two seconds at a fast, easy effort. Their level of ease greatly increased and they learned a little breaststroke from me in order to sight directly ahead of themselves for triathlon swimming.

Because swimming is so much about technique, we can be much better swimmers when we take the time to understand what makes us better.

I find personal improvement in this way to be very satisfying.

Congratulations to those three swimmers and I wish them success with their goals this year.
