team silly nannies
Thank you!!!
This video is so helpful. Thank you soooooo much.
Wow, I can relate to trying to survive in the pool instead of timing myself
Lmao I can’t even swim 100m without dying
quality and not quantity. and frequency of training.
I swim like a brick lol
Thanks guys!
You mention that it is better to swim more frequent rather than swimming long sessions. The thing I noticed that my technique got better the more tired I got during a long session. As if I was too weak to use any unnessecary forces.
