The real issue is inefficient technique. As a coach, I hear this question almost every day at my pool. Interestingly, not every swimmer gets tired for the same reason. Some are completely new to swimming, while others have developed habits th]]>https://www.newslocker.com/en-uk/sport/swimming/six-reasons-why-youre-getting-tired-so-quickly-while-swimming/Sat, 18 Jul 2026 14:30:00 +0200https://www.newslocker.com/en-uk/sport/swimming/six-reasons-why-youre-getting-tired-so-quickly-while-swimming/ Swim paddles are one of the most popular types of swim equipment in the pool.
Like fins, they increase surface area on our propelling surfaces—in this case the hands—and allow us to displace more water and swim faster.
Which means we tend to grab the biggest saucers that we can find, strap them to our hands, and start cranking out laps like they owe us money.
But the way that paddles change our swimming isn’t as simple as:

As a coach, I see this mistake almost every day at my pool. Most beginners hold their breath underwater and then try to exhale and inhale at the same time after their mouth comes out of the water. This leaves them with very little time to breathe, causing them to rush the movement and often inhale water instead of air.

I obsessed over the downkick and how hard I could drive it with my quads and knees.

Anyone who has spent time around breaststroke has probably run into two completely opposite coaching philosophies.
One says higher tempo means faster swimming. Turn the stroke rate up, kick more often, and your time will come down.
The other says the opposite. Focus on a powerful kick, an efficient pull, and a long glide. If you can cover the distance in fewer cycles, you’ll probably go faster.
So which camp is right?

Her 51.68 world record in the women’s 100 freestyle did more than erase Sarah Sjostrom‘s iconic mark that had stood since 2017. It offered another powerful reminder that the sport’s greatest time barriers are often broken twice: first in the mind, and only then on the clock.
