Dear fellow swimmers,
I recently spoke with a swimmer who is relatively new to the sport, and was keen to unlock swimming’s secrets and increase his speed. I then spoke to a high-level triathlete, who is already a very fast swimmer, but wants to go faster to help her keep up with the very top swimmers in her events. It seems that wherever you are on the swimming speed spectrum, you would like to swim faster. So how do you go about it?
My biggest tip is to become a curious swimmer. Watch what other people
do, read widely about swimming, think about what you’re doing when you swim, notice what happens when you make slight changes, and seek advice from a range of sources. Reading Outdoor Swimmer won’t make you faster on its own, but we frequently include training advice and tips, which you can put into practice that will make you faster. We also publish plenty of inspiring stories to help keep you motivated. With Christmas approaching, we’d therefore love to give you a recent issue of
Outdoor Swimmer magazine in digital format.
