4. Tips from Coach Mark 

Why You Should Embrace Individual Medley Training - Unlock Your Full Potential!

All-around Development: Mastering all four strokes will make you a versatile and well-rounded swimmer.

Enhanced Fitness: Switching between strokes and tempos boosts your aerobic capacity, overall conditioning, and keeps your training exciting and balanced.

Training Tips for Success

Perfect Your Turns: Smooth, efficient turns can make a huge difference in your performance.

Focus on Weaknesses: Spend extra time improving your weaker strokes to become a more complete swimmer.

Mix It Up: Regularly changing strokes keeps your training fresh and helps you adapt to different challenges.

Pace Yourself: Develop both your stroke count and stroke rate to maintain energy throughout your swim. Don't exhaust yourself on weaker strokes.

Count Your Strokes: Keeping track of your strokes helps you maintain a consistent and effective technique.

Dive in and embrace the challenge!  Your hard work and dedication will pay off in the pool.

Let's make every stroke count! 


Good Luck
Coach Mark
