Go Swim Lingo

 By popular request, we've put together a glossary of commonly used swimming terms.  While this is by no means a complete list of swimming-related terminology, it's a good place to start if you're trying to understand some of the language used in our drills, practices, and articles.

This is great. For myself I had to add SSS = Super Slow Swimming
Swim with perfect stroke technique at slow motion pace...need to swim slow in order to go fast!
