Have you ever thought to yourself
I can't seem to grasp the way my arm should move under water when I swim
how should my legs move when I swim freestyle
I wish there was a way to see someone swim slow motion

Do you swim breaststroke every time you have a swim workout?
If you do, perhaps it is time to start learning other strokes and give your knees a bit of a rest.
I know quite a few competitive breaststroke swimmers who did not train properly during their younger years and now suffer from knee...
Nowadays, computer skills are almost as common in everyday work life as lunch breaks.
However, with this advancement in technology and skill, come also negative side effects in the face of very bad habits, especially when it comes to our body posture.

Being a beginner swimmer is definitely not easy.
Where do I start? How do I do it? It seems much harder than it looks. How come?
These are just a few questions I get asked all the time.
As I discussed on many occasions, swimming is not as simple sport as it may seem.

Globalization of our world is increasingly becoming the standard, so there is no wonder that efforts to raise bilingual children are nowadays close to being a norm (or they should be).
