Ask Me Anything - Drills, Ear Plugs, Staying Motivated...

The Swim Squad

Once in awhile inside our free facebook community, I will do an 'Ask Me Anything' session.

In other words, post any swimming question you can think of and I will do my best to answer it for you.

Well, it's been a while since we have done one of these and last week we had some great questions.

I like responding to these in a follow-up Facebook Live session inside the group in case more questions pop up during the broadcast.

Check out the recording from the most recent AMA session. Questions are time-stamped below so you can skip ahead if there's something similar you have been meaning to ask.

0m27s - What is the difference between the Javelin Drill and Broken Arrow Drill?

6m29s - What are the best drills for learning to use your legs less/kick properly?

8m18s - The reason we do the Sculling Drill?

9m01s - What is the minimum I should be swimming each week to maintain fitness?

10m00s - Balance issues and earplugs

11m38s - How to get faster

14m32s - How do you stay motivated to keep swimming after a big event?

17m53s - My arm does a swooshy thing underwater. I just want to pull/press straight back, but don't know why this is happening...?

I hope you find the answers to these questions helpful.
