Visualization is a mental training skill that swimmers can use to boost confidence. Here's how some of the top swimmers on the planet use it.

Fearing for our children when it comes to water is perfectly natural. After birth defects, #drowning is the #1 cause of death for children ages 1 – 4, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics. Some #swim lessons programs make promises that they can make your child “drown-proof” or “pool-safe,” but the truth is that no child can ever truly be 100% safe around water. However, the “water-safe” myth is muddying the waters and is actually adding to the risk of child drownings.

While no one can make kids truly "water-safe" we can make kids "water-safer." Here are some smart measures that can make your child safer around water.

Not enough acceleration through the stroke? Try slow to fast.

New Device MEASURES Your Force?

Register your interest to stay updated and get early-bird offers:
http://sensarii.com/r/effortless

Sensarii is a Sydney-based startup that reached out to me to demo their product. I was curious to see what it can do from a coaching perspective. They call it Powerband and it measures force throughout a stroke which gives great insight especially at the catch, pull and push phases.

Force is something that you can’t see with underwater video and this puts numbers to it. For example, catch is the setup phase and you don’t want to put too much power there since pushing down on the water is wasted energy and wasted effort.

In this video we go through some examples of various swimmers from a recent product trial I did with Powerband.
