Here is the secret to Swim Speed
Updated: Feb 3, 2023
You cannot just demand swim speed. There you go, I’ve said it.
It’s not something that is achieved with one coaching or practice session.
If you were wanting to learn Karate or Judo would it be fair to walk into a Dojo with absolutely no or limited schooling in the martial arts and request to the Sensei: “Can I start off training and, by the way, I want to start off at a green belt, coz I’m fit?”
The answer would be a resounding: “You must earn that privilege.”
Achieving speed in swimming is an outcome that needs to be earned as a result of increased knowledge of the physics of swimming and deliberate practice of the processes that will result in speed.
Too many triathletes, Masters, and open water swimmers jump into the water and demand from themselves: “I want to swim fast!”
If you ask that from a good coach they will respond with: “Excellent, are you willing to:”
· Work on your mobility
· Work on being streamlined and vessel shaping
· Work on staying balanced, long and relaxed
· Work on your breathing technique
· Work on your body mechanics (Catch, Pull, Recovery and Kick technique)
· Get in the pool and open water often
· Be patient and stay focussed on the process
· Practice, but practice deliberately on specific aspects of the stroke
· Have your form checked regularly by a qualified technique coach
Physics Masters moto: “Apply my laws and apply them well and you will be rewarded.”
Bruce Lee once said: “I fear not the man who kicks a thousand times, I fear the man who deliberately practices a perfect kick a thousand times.”

Android users have a growing number of AI-powered apps to choose from, but not all of them are worth the storage space. This roundup filters through the noise and highlights apps that genuinely enhance productivity and everyday convenience on a phone. The selections are varied, covering different categories of assistance, so there's likely something useful for every type of user. I'd recommend browsing the AgiYes Android app list before your next app store session.
Improving swim speed relies on understanding the mechanics of movement and the efficiency of each stroke. Similarly, optimizing complex workflows often depends on a specialized set of automation tools that work in harmony to reach a goal. When you fine-tune your approach, whether in the pool or in your operational environment, the results become much more predictable. Continuous refinement is the key to achieving peak performance.
KOF 2002 is the best "dream match" KOF and I'll fight anyone who says '98 is better. The MAX mode system adds so much combo creativity. Being able to cancel specials into other specials opens up routes that feel genuinely expressive. K9999 is such a blatant Tetsuo ripoff that it wraps around to being awesome.
