What Is An Efficient Freestyle Stroke?

2nd May 2013

Hi Swimmers,

Have a look at these 2 excellent videos (Part 1 and Part 2) which discuss the different freestyle stroke styles and what is an efficient stroke.

If you have not visited this site before then please do so.  It has a wealth of information including an animated swimming console called Mr Smooth which shows good swimming technique that you can see from all angles and at different speeds.  This can be downloaded to your desktop and is very easy to use.

Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS)

19th April 2013

Hi Pre-Swim Crosstrainers, Hopefully you have all felt the DOMS also sometimes called muscle fever, which is the pain and stiffness felt in muscles several hours to days after unaccustomed or strenuous exercise which is what we have been doing for the past few weeks.

I have gathered and tried to simplify the following information and hopefully this will help if you are concerned about the soreness more
