Workout while swimming


Taken from a magazine article



Swimming tips (the freestyle)
  • Stretch your leading arm forward as far as you can (swim tall)
  • Keep your abs and lower back muscles taut
  • Dig like you are gathering sand with a shovel (drop an anchor)
  • Keep your hands flat, broad and firm
  • Look straight down at the bottom of the pool -- it reduces strain on neck and lower back
  • Fewer stroke is better, aim for DPS (distance per stroke)
  • Legs should be taut while feet remains flexible
  • Don't waste your breath, make each breath count, and try to breath alternately
  • Try to breath every 3 stroke
Some tips for beginners:
  • Harmony with the water
  • Pierce the water
  • Stroke smoothly
