Backstroke

Enjoy a quick backstroke video with Ryan Lochte!

Cool Video

This is a cool video. I can definitely relate because I am not a very good kicker. Kicking is so under-appreciated and is so important.

Technical Suits: the Arena Powerskin ST

The first technical suit I ever purchased was the Arena Powerskin. I got it two years ago, and at the time it was $120.00. I got a size 28 when my normal size is was about 32 for practice suits. I thought it fir well, but my coach said that I could have used one size smaller. It fit very well around the legs (in my opinion much better than the Speedo fastskin) and I got a lot of use out of it. I wore it about 7 times before I really noticed it getting waterlogged. I still wore it for compression training as well. Here is the link to it on swimoutlet.com

I worked on breaststroke with my swimmers yesterday, and I worked on it as well at practice. Here are some good drills. We call the first drill the accordion drill. Enjoy.

Technical Suits

Hello everyone. This week I am going to talk about something that a lot of people have no idea whatsoever about... technical suits. I personally love technical suits. They give me that extra boost of confidence I need to give every race my all. I am going to give my honest review of the only two technical suits I have purchased, and they are from two different brands; arena and speedo.

Equipment: Review of Finis Zoomer Gold

Hello again!
For all of the intermediate/ advanced swimmers out there, I have a great piece of equipment for you; the Finis Zoomer Gold. Here is my honest feedback:
I purchased these and have been using them periodically for about two months. I absolutely love them. They really work your legs, you can feel it. I think they have improved the thrust of my kick a lot in the short period of time that I have had them. I couldn't find them at my favorite website, swimoutlet.com, but I found them at swim2000.com. If you are serious about training, I would think about investing in a pair. One helpful tip, they run BIG. I am an 8.5-9.5 in tennis shoes, and I got a size D. They fit perfectly. Take a look at the sizing chart online. Here is a video about them.
