Yoga and Swimming Isnt this the biggest bulls**t ever?!? Its imposible to use the knowledge you get from Yoga in swimming because the BASICs of Yoga are on nose breathing I agree that both yoga and swimming share flexibility... but that doest have to do with anything cause the main problem is breath. I dont know how can people put these two together I almost drowned NUMEROUS times, and now i am completly starting to forget yoga just so i could learn how to swim right. feel free to comment please

  • Yes I worked with The Victor for many years and really enjoyed it. The owner retired shortly after I left. Paddles are a tool that unfortunately many use incorrectly. They can be beneficially used –but that is another thread! Regarding Yoga –Paul is correct it can really offer major benefits to swimmers. Anytime you can learn to control your body and mind while relaxing or stretching it will translate positively to other activities including swimming. I am an advocate of any and all types of cross training. The better athlete wins! Interesting Mary Bolster, previous editor of (Fitness) Swimmer Magazine and great friend of Masters swimming, is now an editor for Yoga Journal. It is worth a look.
