Swimming Question of the Week - August 25, 2010

With many teams gearing up this week for winter training, and many swimmers heading off to college, here's a question for you:


Im

Pool Tools - Stretch-Cord One Spot

Pool Tools - Stretch-Cord 50s

True or false: Swim practices can be physically challenging, mentally challenging, and fun...all at the same time?


Im

Pool Tools - Stretch-Cord Release

Here's a REALLY fun way to add some productive fun to your practices. Stretch-Cord Release takes the lessons learned from resisted swimming and converts them directly into actual swimming.

All Strokes - Taper Push Ups

Sometimes the toughest thing in any season is the time between two or more championship meets. You can rest completely for one meet, and the qualify for another... NOW what do you do? Now you have to swim fast again... in TWO WEEKS!

I recently had a conversation with a swimmer who thought he was working hard, but had openly expressed his personal goals. Just a hint, there's a reason Michael Phelps rarely reveals his goals.
