Summary
What does it really take to improve your swimming? In this episode, we explore why progress often starts outside your comfort zone. Whether you're trying to swim further, faster, improve your technique or overcome fears in the water, growth requires a willingness to embrace discomfort and trust the process. We discuss the importance of thinking like an athlete showing up consistently, focusing on the small improvements and understanding that the best swimmers aren't necessarily the most talented, but often the most persistent. Our Drill of the Moment is the humble pull buoy. We talk about why it's one of our favourite training tools, how it helps improve body position, encourages a stronger catch and pull, and allows swimmers to focus on what their upper body is doing in the water. As always, we finish with Tell It To The Sea, featuring some unexpected encounters involving fish, paddle boards and the little moments that make spending time on and around the water so special. So grab a cuppa, settle in and join us for another swim-filled chat from the North Devon coast. 🌊 Seas Your Dreams 🌊🎙️💙 🎧 Listen now wherever you get your podcasts ⭐ Like, rate & review to help more swimmers find us 💬 Got questions or drill requests?
