Swimming Tips & Discussion

Swimming, huh?
What’s everyone’s go-to stroke?

I’m all about Michael Phelps style
Actually picked up a manual on proper technique because, honestly, my form was a total disaster

Though I guess backstroke isn't half bad either🙂

Breaststroke 😎
I am becoming quite weary of constantly lifting my arms out of the water for Michael Phelps style 😳 😬

mixed bag,
got my own little styles (hands-free)
mostly just trying to make sure I don't inhale the pool 😁

You absolutely have to go with Michael Phelps 😬

Lightly... because then it actually looks like the sailboat is moving..haha..😬 🙂

Well, I 😍
but people tend to give me those incredibly awkward looks when I do that, don't they?🤔

What’s the official term for breaststroke? 😁

It’d probably look more like an old river steamboat, you know, with that massive paddle wheel.😁

Personally, I steer clear of swimming with frogs.
They usually hang out in pairs with Great Whites.😁

I did a bit of swimming training back when I was a kid, so I actually picked up the right way to do 🙂

Dolphin stroke... that one just never quite clicked for me 😳

I’m a fan of freestyle, though I tend to burn out a lot faster than I do with breaststroke...

I really enjoy breaststroke, provided it’s done with proper technique, like a collegiate swimmer would—just without all that speed 😁 ) rather than that amateur style where you keep your head stuck out of the water the whole time..
