Swim Better, Swim Faster
If you read one or more of these and felt a flash of recognition, Swim Better, Swim Faster can help.
SIX SIMPLE ELEMENTS
Swim Better, Swim Faster separates front crawl into six key elements. Work on just one of these for even a few hours, and you should feel an improvement in your stroke:
1. Flexibility
2. Body position
3. Arm stroke
4. Breathing
5. Kicking
6. Stroke and rhythm

People often feel that they have a particular problem with one of these areas, and concentrate on that. But the trick with swimming is to get all the elements of your stro
smoothly and in balance. Work on all six over a period of time, and your swimming will quickly improve.
