Whether that’s reducing excess catch-up in your freestyle, spending less time in non-propulsive phases, or—in the case of this set–increasing stroke length–resisted swimming can be a technique correction tool, too.

Suddenly, the same pool that felt safe starts to feel frightening.
You may start thinking:
“What if I can’t touch the bottom?”“What if I stop swimming?”“What if I drown?”
The interesting thing is that, in many cases, the biggest difference between shallow and deep water is not the swimming technique, it is your psychology.

In an Olympic or World Championship year, ranking the best swimmers and top performing countries is straightforward. They all gather together at the same pool on the same days and compete directly against one another. However, in a year like 2026, when the world’s best athletes are scattered between Pan Pacific Champs and European Champs, it’s not as simple.

We tend to treat it like it’s purely a motivation problem. We assume that it’s the swimmer that doesn’t really want to be there that burns out. While plummeting motivation is one of the key symptoms of burnout taking root, it’s not the only one.

Just over 53 years ago I competed in the season finale of Divisional Championship Meet for the Mohican Hills Swimming Pool in Bethesda, Maryland.
I was 10 years old on the 8th of August in 1973, long before my high school baseball teammate and friend died in a car accident, long before my Mom and Dad died, long before I got Ds on college exams, long before I got fired from jobs for incompetence or socially annoying behaviors or]]>https://www.newslocker.com/en-uk/sport/swimming/53-years-ago-what-swimming-taught-me-about-not-being-the-best/Mon, 17 Aug 2026 14:30:00 +0200https://www.newslocker.com/en-uk/sport/swimming/53-years-ago-what-swimming-taught-me-about-not-being-the-best/ By this point, my fear of deep water had almost disappeared. The boy who had once cried and screamed for help in the deep end was now comfortable enough to jump in and swim toward the shallow side on his own.

After she didn’t have the meet that she had hoped for this week at the Pan Pacific Champs, Summer McIntosh reflected on how to move forward.

More often, it comes down to technique, breathing, and smart training.
As a swim coach, I notice the same pattern almost every day.
