"I Spend More Time Slowing Swimmers Down Than Speeding Them Up!"

What training at the wrong intensity day-in/day-out means for your long-term goals

Hey Swimmers,

One of the things I probably say more than anything else on pool deck is:

“Slow down.”

People are often surprised by that. Surely every coach wants their swimmers to go faster?

Of course we do. But paradoxically, one of the best ways to become a faster swimmer is learning when not to swim fast.
