Dolphin kick here -- without fins :) |

breaststroke pull. and kick...it's my worst stroke and girls like Pierse and Soni inspired me a lot to improve it. |
|

I go for improve endurance of butterfly and technique of backstroke cos its my weakest stroke - other thing is improve timing of all stroke (fast swimming - dunno how to do it so please help Glenn or Barbara lol) and finally, to be more flexible |

MUSCLES!! :)) |

I read that they find hard to swim both a day (series + semi-finals) and that they get aches after a sprint, though they train hard all year long ! So they really give the MAX : how can I do that ? I never get aches with swimming (I often get some with running). It means I don't give the maximum, though I think so when I struggle for speed in water... |

Races at that level take a LOT out of the athletes. It's not uncommon for the top swimmers to lose significant weight over the course of a busy week. This is one of the reasons what Michael Phelps did last year in China is so amazing. The explosive movements it takes to really swim at the top speeds does indeed, put quite a strain on the entire body... and you'll feel it. |
