  • I think there is a big difference between strengthening your core and "engaging"it.A strong core is important for streamlining and as a base of power. All strokes and SDK work the core muscles. Additional exercises may help,depending on what you swim in workouts and at meets.I think "engaging" you core refers to focusing on keeping it tight before and during exercise.I think just focusing on keeping a tight streamline (Chowmi's sword) is probably more useful.
