Habits & Correct Strength

The unconscious method in which we do most things in life is merely a product of something that we learned years ago. These actions can be classified as habits and some of them have become so ingrained that they become extremely difficult to change. But given that we are shown structured sessions in which to re-write this stubborn conditioning, we can then begin the neural adaptations necessary for swimming improvement. During this process our muscles also begin to be utilised differently. When this results from a change in our training techniques, then our muscles actually begin to develop a more specific strength, which has been termed by FutureDreams as "Correct Strength". After watching 10-year-olds wiz by, you are probably aware that you do not need to be physically big or even strong to be a good swimmer.

So the answer seems simple - assess the inefficiencies of where we are now, and then go about re-writing those habits with more efficient ones. The correct strength will then follow the different physical movement patterns. Fitness is then applied to the ever-evolving technique and a higher plateau is reached, just like stepping-stones.
