In today’s episode, we’re diving into a Q&A session where I will answer your questions submitted on Instagram! Tune in for helpful tips and insights on how to improve your swimming.

00:48 I tried adjusting my head position, but my legs still sit too low. Do you have any recommendations?

02:42 How do you keep your hand up and gliding during the reach phase?
05:26 How do I ensure I feel my lats during a workout rather than my traps and upper back?
06:47 I went from a 1:45 to a 1:32 pace in four months, thanks to you. Now I’m hitting a wall. Any advice?
09:04 Can you explain the timing for rotation in catch phase?
13:18 How long does it take to go from being a leisurely swimmer to a highly competent swimmer?
15:48 How do you improve the skill of feeling the water?
19:20 When I push hard on the pull, it speeds up my entire process. How do I keep the cadence regular?
22:20 First focus priority, kick or catch?
23:25 Why is swimming focused on rep time cycles instead of work-to-rest ratios?
24:38 My stomach drops but my head and legs are up, resulting in this weird U-shaped form. How do I fix it?
26:31 Send your questions!
