1. WORDS FROM COACH MARK
Stay Strong, Swim On: Your Blueprint for Progress
Weekly Wins
Set your sights on 3–4 swim sessions each week. Even a short dip keeps your rhythm alive and your technique sharp. Every lap is a step forward.
Keep It Fresh
Switch it up! Rotate days between endurance sets, sprints, technique drills, and recovery swims. Variety fuels motivation and prevents burnout.
Own Your Journey
Track your swims with a log or app. Celebrate milestones—whether it’s a new personal best or simply showing up on a tough day.
Swim With Purpose
Join team challenges, swim meets, fitness events, or clinics. Training with others adds energy, accountability, and a whole lot of fun.
Do This / Skip That
| Do This |
Skip That |
|---|---|
| Swim consistently—even short sessions matter |
Don’t wait for perfect conditions to train |
| Focus on technique every time you hit the water |
Don’t let bad habits sneak in from long breaks |
| Crosstrain to boost your swim fitness |
Don’t rely only on meets to stay in shape |
| Stay connected with your teammates and coaches |
Don’t isolate yourself from feedback and support |
Coach’s Takeaway
“Fitness fades faster than it builds—but consistency keeps the flame alive.”
Every swim matters. Whether it’s a full-on grind or a gentle recovery set, showing up is the secret. Use your skills, enjoy the water, and keep the momentum rolling. Your future self will be stronger, faster, and grateful.
Let’s make every swim count. Ready to dive in and dominate the week?
-Coach Mark
