Struggling to keep your legs from sinking in the water—no matter how hard you kick or how low you keep your head? You're not alone. But why do some swimmers maintain a perfect body position even when they're looking forward and barely kicking? In this episode, after coaching over 6,000 swimmers, I break down the real reason your legs are sinking, what you can do to fix it (even if you feel like a natural sinker), and share one powerful tip that can help you float more easily—something most coaches never talk about. We’ll look at how your body’s weight distribution affects your position in the water, and the key adjustments that can transform your technique. 01:40 Extend Arms Out Infront Of Head 02:33 Breathing 04:47 Be Tall And Proud 06:09 The Way Your Kicking Can Make A Big Difference 10:48 High Elbow Recovery 12:17 Catch 13:55 Head Position: Like an Iceberg 15:20 Tension…

#373 : Fast Comes Last: Mastering the Process Before the Performance with Frank Sole 43:56

What happens when a veteran swim coach, who's spent years refining adult swimmers and triathletes, returns to coaching high school kids? In this episode, Frank Sole—coach, educator, and lifelong student of the sport—shares how “water is water” no matter your age, and why the principles of balance, buoyancy, and body awareness remain timeless. Frank dives into the biggest crossover lessons he’s bringing from Masters swimmers to juniors, the importance of teaching athletes to “own their technique,” and why he tells even his fastest swimmers to slow down and swim well, not fast. We also explore how Frank’s coaching philosophy has evolved over decades, the power of habit over outcome, and the surprising results his athletes are getting—not just in the pool, but in their lives. Whether you're a coach, a swimmer, or someone who's passionate about getting better, this episode is packed with wisdom, stories, and the kind of gold you can take straight to your next session. 05:16 Focus on Process Not On Outcome 19:17 Mastering Breathing: A Coach's Perspective 21:01 Mastering Breathing Technique 21:59 Coach Check In Routine 37:03 Evolvong Coaching Philosophy 39:16 18 Minute Rule 40:36 Embrace Ignorance Seek Growth 41:15 Evolving Mindset: From Close To Collaborative…
