Simply Faster! 

Welcome to my blog, Simply Faster, attempting to simplify the art of swimming faster!

There are dozens of ways to improve your swim. Unfortunately focusing on dozens of skills at once will likely leave you confused, frustrated and potentially not any faster.

Through this blog, I hope to share proven ways to become faster in the water, one concept at a time.


Above all else mentioned here, if you truly want to improve, it is critical to make time for the pool.  Show up, prepare and plan your pool time.  Nobody gets faster by skipping swims or jumping in without a method to the madness.
