This past weekend I competed at the national championship. We became national champions in the 4×50 medley relay with time 2:09:36 I swam five events 50 free- 28:92 50 back- 33:24 100 free- 1:05:61 100 back- 1:13:16 4x 50 free relay - 1:58:30 In this relay we finished third, but I’m satisfied with my swims. Try Phelps’s breathing technique — it definitely helps a lot :)

Here's how the challenge works: You visualize one of your favorite events every night before going to sleep for 3-5mins (no longer). Why? (I give ya the summary, if you wanna watch the full training it's here) - You mentally rehearse your starts, pacing, technique, turns and finish. - You go thru the motions of the call room, walking out, stepping on the blocks so that when it happens in the 3D world, your mind knows what's coming next and will be very calm and focused (instead of worried or scared). - AND (this is the most transformational): When you touch the wall in your visualization and see the outcome that you work so hard towards, you will automatically be put into an emotional state of happiness, joy, excitement and passion. This makes you the best version of yourself when you wake up the next day and as a result of that, your final preparation will be better than otherwise. 📮 Then the FOLLOWING day you comment on this post that you've done it. The goal is that you do it (and let us know) EVERY.SINGLE.DAY (and yes, that means you have to login Skool 1x per day) ACTION STEP: Comment below "I'm In!!" and share when your last competition before X-Mas is. Then see you in the comments of this post tomorrow. Then the next day. Then the next. The next... you get the point ☺️ Let's do this as a team and hold each other accountable. Encourage others where you see fit. Share what works and what doesn't if you feel like it. SWIMPROS on 3!!!

As you may know I'm currently doing some pretty cool research on how many race suits you guys are buying every year... I'm collecting the answers of 1000 swim parents and I'll share the results soon. There's also a bigger lesson behind it.. (you may suspect what that lesson is... let me know in the comments 👇) What's your favorite race suit brand? Vote below and comment WHY. I'm sure you tried different suits so there's a reason why you have a favorite and I wanna know what it is. Let's attack the weekend! For those of you who have meets: Remember, you can be very aggressive in your swims AS LONG AS YOU'RE RELAXED (in your mind and in your muscles). - You have been doing the visualization (if not, you're a fool! 😬) - Do the Michael Phelps breathing trick 3-5x before EVERY race - For those of you who know the Leon Marchand pre-race ritual (Premium only) use that too! Let's goooo!!! 🤩

Question; what are your biggest pointers for balancing out school and swim (i am struggling :D )
