Tip of the Week: “FEEL-GOOD SWIMMING”
- The goal of a “feel good” swim is to transform the sensations you experience during a challenging set. Instead of perceiving them as painful, view them in a positive light.
- Understand that discomfort doesn’t necessarily mean harm. These sensations signal growth and adaptation.
- Seek out these feelings, notice them, and adapt to this new “feel-good” style in your swimming.
Wishing you all success in the pool!
