I know your mind is thinking, 5 steps? Come go, if I have been swimming 4 years and I feel that I do not improve anything. Well, dear triathlete/swimmer, what you have to do is if you follow some of these 5 steps and then we will talk ...:

1. Sign up for a training group

Let's not fool ourselves, swimming is a "boring" sport since You can't talk while swimming and there are many people who carry it fatal ☺. It is very important that your mind is active and animated to train day by day, so bend a club or swimming training group like ours, where laughter, healthy piques and competition stories They are a fundamental part of each training.

2. Train the technique at least 1 time a week

Do not forget that what we are looking for is to swim well and fast, If we don't swim well, it's impossible to swim fast. Don´t Forget It! It is a Bricansejo that I ask you to be tattooed in your mind as you do with the M in the Ironman ankle ☺. For this, it is essential to train the technique a week. The more the betterIt is clear, but it depends on your swimming sessions a week. If for example you train 3 times swimming, because in 2 water sessions you have to put technique in your training.

3. Find yourself a reference

Who does not have a reference to train? Juanito del Club Trimataos, Paco de Salamanca, Antonio Gómez Autonomic Champion last year, etc. We all have someone for which we train stronger every day and it is part of your extra motivation. The one who wants to get to the competition and pass him over (Fairplay first of all ☺). Don't you have it? The first, I don't believe it, the second, Look for it now!

4. You have to make volume and series

It is clear that this is essential to improve your swimming. It seems too obvious, but it still surprises me that there are swimmers who come to our group, who have been swimming for 4 years and have not made series in their life. Really? It is essential May your coach schedule an annual training plan according to your goal in which there are volume phases and series phases. The 2 are key pieces to improve.

5. Be stronger to move more water

As I know you did physics pellets at the institute, I will remind you that strength is the ability of a body (we) to overcome a tension against resistance. The friction force, mass and weight are key in this beautiful definition. In our case The friction force is put by the water, the dough is our own weight (kg) And finally the weight that is the attraction that the earth exerts (it is measured in Newton, such as the shoes that you like so much ...). You will wonder, where does this uncle want to get? Well, it's very simple, what You have to train strength in the gym/retire/crossfit, etc We are exercising a force against water, therefore, if your strength is greater, you will move more water, you will advance faster and get better out of water in triathlons. If you add this speed, you are already a crack! With this I do not say macharos every day in the gym, but is an important part for Improve your swimming.

Conclusion

Do not give up in your attempt to the desperate for getting better with water. If you start thinking Swimming is a, b and c. You just have to be surrounded by good hands that guide you by the good path towards your sports goal. Surely these 5 steps will now be part of your training routine and surely you will do everything possible to get it. As a good friend says "we think what we do and do what we think."
