Why Movement Changes Lag Fitness (and How to Spot It)
Learn to tell when your engine is improving faster than your technique so you can keep form intact when fatigue shows up.

The Architecture of Faster Freestyle
Across the set of included studies, the message is consistent enough to matter. Adding strength and conditioning alongside swim training tends to improve sprint freestyle performance, and the meta analysis supports improvements in fifty meter and one hundred meter outcomes compared with swim training alone.1

Dolphin Kicks into the Finish and the Art of Choosing Speed
World Aquatics updated the backstroke finish rule (SW 6.3) so that once a swimmer’s head passes the 5 m mark before the wall, they’re allowed to fully submerge—which means they can potentially dolphin kick underwater into the finish instead of staying on the surface for a “classic” touch.

Serve Lines Between Body and Sky
Serve kinematics map the big rocks. Meta-analysis identifies trunk/shoulder–hip separation, toss location, and knee/ankle work as key serve markers.

Below the Line Where Races Tilt
Underwater dolphin kick = speed lever. Ankles/hip–core coordination and kick frequency are the biggest levers for UUS velocity—train ROM + stiffness + cadence progressions
