Words from Coach Mark
Embrace the Wave: The Art of Feel-Good Swimming
Swimming hard doesn’t have to be a grind. It’s all about perspective. The goal of a feel-good swim is to transform the sensations of a challenging set into something positive. Imagine reinterpreting the intensity of your effort, not as pain, but as a signal of growth and improvement.
Sensations Redefined The rush you feel with each stroke isn’t something to shy away from. These sensations are not inherently unpleasant; they only become so when we label them as “painful.” Instead, they can be intriguing, even enjoyable. They’re a sign that you’re pushing your limits, making waves, and getting stronger.
Biological Growth, Not Pain When we swim, our bodies are in a state of evolution. Each lap is a step towards adaptation, a testament to our biological resilience. The discomfort you feel is not a warning of harm but a herald of progress. It’s the kind of discomfort that comes with rewards, not risks.
Seek the Sensation Chase that feeling. Let it happen. Pay attention to it. Then, consciously adapt to this new paradigm of feel-good swimming. It’s not just about enduring the set; it’s about enjoying the journey and the transformation that comes with it.
Keep making a splash! 🏊♂️💦
