IT'S ALL ABOUT BALANCE

"It's really important to stay balanced throughout your body." Natalie Coughlin

It's the most important concept in swimming.

Each stroke, every part of each stroke, is all about balance. Your body should balance without the aid of arms and legs. Repetition of simple practice drills develops good balance.

Good aquatic balance minimizes resistance and enables fast hip rotation.

Move your balance point forward, as far forward as possible, and lean on it, press down on it.

Press to a balanced position, don't kick to a balanced position.

Everything depends on it
