Hi all!
So I've noticed during my workouts, I tend to blast through my warmup laps, which makes for sore arms and out-of-breath/slower swimming later. Any tips and tricks to get into the midset of swimming slower during warmups? :)
I'm not sure how you guys manage it, but my stroke count in free is 25 in a 25 yard pool (I'm 5'5"). Slowed down, I can reduce it to 21. With flippers on, I can manage 17. How are you managing to enlongate your stroke so much?
Just for comparison, I am 5'7"+ and have a count of 16 unless I am in an all-out sprint. In that case, my count goes up to 20.
For me, to get a low stroke count, I concentrate on pulling all the way through down my thigh.
