Wide knees are NOT making your breaststroke kick stronger ↓ Many beginner swimmers think spreading their knees wide creates a more powerful kick. So they push their legs out to the sides instead of back. But that creates extra drag and wastes most of your power. Let’s fix that. ✅ Correct — narrow knees, wide feet During the kick: • Keep your knees about one to two hand widths apart • Turn your feet outward • Press the water back with the inside of your feet • Finish by bringing your legs together in a semicircle 💡 The knees stay relatively narrow. It’s your feet that move out—not your knees. What changes: • Less drag • More propulsion • Better body position • A smoother, more efficient breaststroke kick 💡 Simple cue: Narrow knees → wide feet → squeeze together. Your goal is not to kick wider. First learn to press the water back, not out to the sides. #breaststroke #swimtechnique #swimtips

The greatest underwater swimmer in history, second most total medals of an American male swimmer, world record holder, 12x Olympic medalist @ryanlochte I saw some edits like this for basketball and thought it’d be cool to make this #swim #olympics #olympicswimming #ryanlochte #michaelphelps #swimming #swimmer #swimmers #swimmemes

One of the biggest mistakes I see swimmers make ? When they turn to breathe, the arm on the opposite side of that breath comes with them, crossing over that centre line INSTEAD of still entering in line with the shoulder as shown here. Film yourself head on so you can see if this is something you are doing. NVDM SWIM 🏊 Ready to take your swim performance to the next level?

Because they don’t waste energy. The fastest swimmers aren’t always the strongest. They’re often the most efficient. Better body position, a cleaner catch, and less drag can make a bigger difference than simply pulling harder. Power matters. Efficiency matters more. 🌊 @rakov.swim 📍 Lviv Region, Ukraine 🇺🇦 #swimming #swim #freestyle #openwater #swimmer

If you want the best start every time you swim, don’t ignore this detail. Our body must form a diamond-shaped position. to reduce drag as much as possible. #swimmingcoach #swimminglesson #swim #swimming #swimlike #swimlife #swimtime #swimteam #funswim #swimmingpools #drillswimming #swimmingpooldesign #swimmingpooltime #swimmingpoolparty #swimmingday #swimming_time #swimminglessons #swimmingclass #swimmingteam #swimmingtechnique #swimweek #swimcoach #swimmer #swimmers #swimmeet #swimmerlife #swimingboy #freestyleswimming #swimtimelog #swimbravetribe

Swimming can’t be replicated in the gym. Water is 800 times denser than air. Every stroke is resistance. Every kick is resistance. Every breath is resistance. A 60 minute swim session is roughly 1,000 pulls. 1,000 reps of your lats, rear delts, traps and core working against a load you can’t escape. There is no machine that does this The lat pulldown doesn’t do it. The cable row doesn’t do it. The pull-up bar gets close, but you’re not doing 1,000 of them. This is why swimmers look the way they look. Not because they live in the gym. Because the pool is the gym, and the water never lets up. If you used to swim and stopped, this is what your body is missing. Not more cardio. Not more lifting. The specific stimulus of moving through something 800 times heavier than air, for thousands of reps, while your lungs are working at the same time. It’s why my clients who add 3 swims a week alongside lifting transform faster than the ones who only lift. Comment SWIM and I’ll show you how to structure it.

A Flying Lifebuoy for Drowning Swimmers. When someone is drowning, every second matters. Instead of waiting for a lifeguard or rescue boat to reach them, teams can now deploy a special rescue drone that flies straight to the person in distress. The drone lands on the water and instantly becomes a flotation device, giving the victim something to hold onto while help is still on the way. It's waterproof, can support up to two adults, and is guided by GPS and a live camera feed, allowing operators to place it right beside someone even in rough conditions. Some versions can fly at speeds of up to 30 mph and reach victims hundreds of meters offshore in a matter of moments. It doesn't replace lifeguards, but it gives them a much faster way to reach people when time is running out. In water rescues, even a few extra seconds can make all the difference, and that's exactly where this technology shines. #innovative #drones

If you want to make finals at your next swim meet, here a few of the most common mistakes swimmers make: 1. Skipping warm-down 2. Thinking the whole meet is wasted because you added time in your “best” event. (Don’t just give up, you can surprise yourself in the next event) 3. Eating sugary snacks between races. Hello sugar crash! 4. Spending too much time on your feet walking around and socializing between your events. Save your legs and socialized after racing. 5. Not hydrating enough. 6. Skipping dynamic dryland warm-up. Think jumping, skipping and arm swings! It helps prep your body for explosive activities better than static stretching. 7. Skipping breakfast because of nerves 8. Racing without a plan 📸: @swimoutlet • • • • • #swimming #swimmer #swim #swimmingpool #swimpractice #swimlife #swimmemes #swimmers #swimteam #swimmerslife #triathlete #swimcoach #swimmeet #swimmerproblems #swimmingmemes #swimbikerun #swimclub #triathlon #backstroke #swimminglife #freestyle #butterfly #competitiveswimmer #breaststroke #swimproblems #pool #swimmermemes #swimtraining #competitiveswimming #swimmingclass

🇧🇭🇧🇭Some outstanding drills & skills from the swimmers in Bahrain. @bhrswimming The bottle or the cup on the head is just the most basic backstroke exercise but it promotes stability through the core and eliminates lots of up and down movement in the stroke. #swimming #sport #olympics #backstroke #bahrain
