For Swimmers Only

As a swimmer myself, I have to make sure that I comply on these laws:




21 Top Laws of Swimming by Jerry Heidenreich

1. Three of the most important components of swimming are:
technique,technique , technique.

2. Strive for optimum, not maximum, performance.

3. Learn to balance, align, and stabilize your body first.
Everything else will become easier.

4. Seek the path of least resistance.

5. Find the path of most resistance.

6. To become effortless requires great effort.

7. Listen to the water, feel the water, be one with the water. Swim
quietly.

8. The mind leads the body.

9. The harder you work, the harder you can play.

10. Practice does not make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect.
What you do in practice will determine what you do in meets.

11. The fastest swimmers are the ones who slow down the least.

12. The fastest you ever travel is when you dive off the block and
push off the wall.

13. Slice through the water, don't plow. Make your middle
name"streamline" .

14. Don't think of pulling the water. Learn to anchor your
hands,wrists, and forearms, and hold onto the water. Learn to use
your legs for balance and body stabilization.

15. Power is generated from the hips and torso. Use your shoulders
for your recovery and to generate additional arm speed.

16. Relax from the inside out.

17. Never look back.

18. Attack your race, attack your opponent.

19. Embrace your opponents. They make you a faster, better swimmer.

20. Use visual and mental imagery of yourself achieving and
surpassingyour goals.

21. Swim smart, use your head, and keep your head still.


And the fun part of being a swimmer...
