Mission Viejo Nadadores Masters

Challenge Achievement Recognition
 
Coming together is a beginning - Staying together is process - Working together fosters success-
 
“Aiming for Efficient Swimming”

 

Whether your goal is cardiovascular fitness or increased distance in a specific time we all should strive for efficiency in the water.

 

Periodically during a workout, you should count the number of strokes you take per length.

 

If you can hold that number during a distance set or even reduce the number per length you will become

more efficient and achieve greater speed and increased distance.

 

The more you can do this you will be able to swim farther and faster while expending no

 more energy than before!
