If you ask top athletes out there about what makes them give it a 100% at every practice even if the body says no?
The answer is relatively simple.
The thought of their goals being fulfilled motivates them to achieve the impossible.
Of course, let's come back to earth and realize that we are...

Whether we like it or not, we live in a fast-paced modern technology world where what happened 5 minutes ago is old news.
It is extremely hard to keep up with new information and even harder to distinguish between good and bad information.
Since everybody and their grand...
Swimming is a sport that is not natural to everyone.
Walking, running, biking, all of these are quite easy to master, however, it takes some coordination and stamina to learn how to swim and to top it all off, before we improve our swim technique, we all have a different swimming style based on...
I am of the belief that every child should be taught how to swim at an early age.
The earlier the better.
Actually, infants are quite comfortable in the water and if not nurtured and practiced, we somehow lose this comfortableness in the water when we get older.

If you are anything like the majority of our population, you do not necessarily love doing housework. It is just a necessary evil that has to be done.
What I am talking about are the mundane tasks that we need to do on a regular basis such as vacuuming, wiping floors, washing dishes, dusting etc....
Do you swim a lot on your own?
Are you a beginner swimmer or triathlete trying to grasp the sport?
Do you coach swimming and need some inspiration?
There comes a time when the imagination or needed knowledge does not work in your favor and you cannot come up with good swim practice.
You keep...
If you have ever wondered how you can combine butterfly and breaststroke, here is your answer :).
In fact, this is an old school stroke that used to be popular a long time ago and is still used by some older masters swimmers.
I would not recommend anyone using this in a competition, however...
Squinting my eyes to see the pace clock's red hand to tell me when to start my next swim set.
Worse yet, having to take off my darkly tinted goggles all the time to be able to see the clock is just plain annoying.
All I want is to enjoy my swim workout without having to come out of the water w...
