#362 : The Speed Equation with Tracey Baumann

  • Summary

  • Welcome to this week's episode of the Effortless Swimming podcast. My guest today is four time guest, Tracey Baumann. On this episode, we're talking about the speed equation, your combination of stroke length and stroke rate, and how to find that sweet spot for whatever distance or whatever effort you're doing.

    This is really the art of it. This is the art of swimming where we want to develop good technique, but then in order to swim faster, we need to make sure that we maintain that technique. but we consider the stroke rate side of the equation. So on this episode, Tracy and I talk about how to find that sweet spot, some sets and some ways that you can practice this and find this in training and some ways that you can develop gears in your swimming.

    If you find that you're stuck and you can't get faster and you've only got this one speed that you're always stuck in, how can you actually go about developing those different gears? So let's jump into the episode with Tracey Baumann.
