The Competitive Swimmer's Guide to Defying Physics

Some of these tricks will cut so much drag, you'll think you swam in mollasses before.   You could hit walls so fast, you'll break fingers.  

Caution: Feeling fast is highly addictive.

Advanced Race KIT

• Basic Meet Checklist is always your first priority.   If your basic kit is complete long before the meet, then you might be ready for the Advanced Meet Checklist, below!

• Suit UP  - if you have a tech suit, get it ready!   If you don't, it's worth considering, but get it at least a month before the meet, so you'll have time to get used to it, before race day.

• Cap Up - get a molded, dome cap.   Cap Flappage is an epidemic, even at elite levels!

Advanced Race PREP

• Shave Down   

  • Why?   Cyclists have been exhaustively testing Drag from body hair in wind tunnels, with amazing gains.  And drag is a FAR larger problem in swimming!  https://youtu.be/8ksulMwF8tE?t=2811
