Are you breathing the right way when you swim?

Are you breathing the right way?

WATCH!

Breathing…
Seems like we, as land mammals, should know how to do this instinctually, but unfortunately, that’s not the case.

So many factors affect our breathing on land, let alone doing it well while swimming.

This single skill can affect everything you do in the water.

If we’re breathing effectively while we swim, we can perform the necessary movements to swim effectively.

It’s important to breathe while swimming as similar as you do on land.

There should be no breath-holding.

When your face goes underwater, aim to blow bubbles out of your nose for 3 seconds, calmly.

Inhaling through your mouth and exhaling through your nose, most of the time, is key to a calm, efficient breathing pattern and swimming success.

Getting a swim video analysis is the best way to witness your kick inefficiencies and learn to correct them.

Come learn how to kick correctly at my upcoming Swim Essentials Clinic for video analysis and 12 hours of coached swim training in the pool, open water, and online.

Creating your Happiness

Creating your happiness

A lot of people have a problem with happiness: Some of you think you don’t deserve it!

Is that you?

  • Are you not good enough to be happy?
  • Do you feel unworthy somehow?
  • Or is it something you’re working really hard to get and maybe someday if you keep trying…?

    Sometimes you just need a reminder that you’re good enough to be happy. Worthy enough. And that happiness isn’t a goal we march toward grimly.

    Because it’s not about being a certain weight, or being able to do this or that (like a triathlon), or having something or someone in our lives, then we will be happy.

    Happiness is about acceptance.

    When you accept yourself exactly as you are, then you can begin deciding what action to take, what to work on… what to work toward… and what to let go of.

    Try this.

    Think of something that’s blocking your happiness. Let’s say – just for purposes of this discussion – that you can’t be happy as long as the weather is bad. Well, can you change the weather? No – unless you’re Mother Nature disguised as a mere mortal, this one is out of your hands.

    So, accept it instead, and change your attitude about the weather. See how that works.

    Or if what’s blocking your happiness is… oh, for example, the dirty dishes in the sink. Well, good news! You can change that. So… do it! Clean the dishes and enjoy your bliss.

    Obviously, these are extremely simplistic illustrations. But the point is a good one. Whether it’s about your body, your exercise, your self-image or – really – anything else, happiness starts with acceptance… then setting a realistic goal… and taking steps to make the change you want.

    Try it today and see!

     Don’t forget how exercise and eating right boosts your spirits and self-esteem. My triathlon training allows me to feel good about my body and releases endorphins which are the feel good hormones.
