I’m a 57 year old male living in Miami Fl. I’m looking to improve my technique so I can become a more efficient swimmer. My goal is to eventually do an Ironman.

(Click on this for whole message) You have already shown me that you are prepared to take your swimming to the next level, and I am beyond excited to be on this journey with you for a life transformation! You start working on your physical health, mental health, heart health consistently (especially with this sport that makes you feel so rejuvenated and accomplished), create habits and you will find that your life will do a 360! Swimming has changed my life for the better and has allowed me to equip so many people of all ages with life-saving skills and techniques that they now have FOREVER where they continue to swim at a professional standard. I am so eager to get to know each and every one of you. Let's push our minds, bodies, spirits, and selves and let's grow!!! If you have not done so already, make sure to state your name, where your from or where you;re located and what you're looking to get out of this course (What is your primary goal for being here? Because everyone has one!). Some examples include: Looking to swim my first triathlon this year, wanting to overcome water anxiety I have had my whole life, I want to play in the ocean with my child etc. If you do not have one, no worries! Though I would highly suggest thinking about your intentions here because the clearer the goal, the easier it will be to help you get there, and the faster you learn!! We're here to teach you everything you need to know and continuously refine your strokes in all aspects! Distance, how long you can swim for (duration), speed, stamina and so much more! Let's start this year off strong!!

If you cannot make the groups send in videos, ask questions, or hop on a zoom!! You only get better by tackling the blind spots!!! Keep swimming! You all rock!!

Many people BELIEVE that swimming is hard or tiring. Train your mindset that you are doing your mental and physical health a huge favor!!! Keep pushing, even when you think you can’t. It just takes “one more stroke”, “one more lap” and then BOOM, you’ve never swam more in your life!!! It’s you against your last swim. PUSH!!!!! How grateful it is that you can swim regularly and take care of yourself!!

Stamina is the ability to sustain physical or mental effort over a period of time without becoming exhausted. Swimming is a physical AND mental game!! What are some exercises or tricks you can do to build it? 1. Do not breathe until 3 strokes AFTER you flip turn before bilateral breathing. This helps train your lungs to endure more and will soon become a habit 2. Utilize kick boards AND pull buoys to enhance muscle strength so when you actually do the stroke, it will feel much lighter 3. Do multiple drills and continue to elongate the duration of them 4. Push yourself harder by not taking as many breaks (mental strength!!) Your body and mind can endure more than you think!!!
