Swimming Efficiency - Body Position and Stroke

Some people just make it look easy...long, fluid strokes, gliding through the water, breathing in rhythm. So why not be one of those people? In this excerpt from the USAT Triathlon Training Series, Olympic Triathlete, Andy Potts and National Coach, Mike Doane demonstrate how knowledge of a few keys to body position and your swim stroke can have a tremendous impact on your performance.

Get the entire video, including an in-depth look at how Olympian, Andy Potts approaches every facet of a race in Triathlon: The Swim, volume 2 of 5 of the USAT Triathlon Training Series. http://www.endurancefilms.com

Thanks for your sympathy for the bad swimmer! It was hard work to look that ugly.

He makes 'sighting' look so easy! I guess it is but I really need to practise that more... I find it so hard to swim straight in the ocean and it obviously is so detrimental to my swim time... Nice video though :)
