TRAINING TIP
FOCUS ON YOUR TURNS !
Turns are often the most overlooked part of training, but they can make a huge difference in your overall race time. A fast and efficient turn can easily save 0.5 to 1 second per wall — that’s up to 4 seconds in a 200 !
✅ Practice attacking the wall with speed.
✅ Keep your head tucked and streamline tight.
✅ Push off with power and dolphin kick to breakout speed.
Remember : great races are won in the details !
