![]() This article came out of an earier post "Learning to Coach the TI Way" and is worthy of its own thread: "7 Habits of Highly Effective Swimmers" by Coach Novak. Whether you're a competitive swimmer, triathlete or just swim for fitness, every swimmer regardless of level, novice through elite, will benefit following these 7 habits at each and every pool session.
Enjoy your next swim practice! Stuart MindBodyAndSWIM Last edited by CoachStuartMcDougal : 02-12-2014 at 09:28 PM. |

![]() Good advice--will keep this list in my swim bag.
Since I swim early in the a.m., I usually am the quietest swimmer in the pool (since I am the only one there!). Just a few times I met 2 swimmers that were a whole lot quieter than me--they were two female ducks that liked to swim along side of me. they went a whole lot faster than I could! In all seriousness, thanks for this list--simple and easy to remember. Sherry |

![]() Sudden wondering ... does no.1 mean I should count: 1, 2, 3 as I swim, or just that strokes need to be counted (by my watch for instance)?

Then again, when I meditate, I've found that counting can distract. I meditate on my heartbeat and find a count sometimes creeps into my mind to become a "monkey thought", distracting me from the present. On the other hand maybe I'm just too simple to be able to focus on so many things at once! :) Interesting.
