  • If I wanted real speed in the water, this is exactly how I’d approach how to swim faster going into swim faster 2026. I break down the most effective swimming technique changes that actually move the needle, instead of random swimming tips that don’t translate into speed.

    I focus on cleaner movement through better swimming efficiency, improved swimming body position, and a more powerful yet relaxed freestyle technique. These are the same fundamentals I use with swim coaching clients who feel stuck at a swimming plateau and want measurable swimming improvement.

    This approach works whether you’re into masters swimming, triathlon swimming, competitive swimming, or even adult swimming just trying to feel smoother and faster. I also simplify things for swimming for beginners so progress doesn’t feel overwhelming.

    You’ll see targeted swimming drills that build real swimming skills, better swimming balance, and a sustainable swimming rhythm you can hold under fatigue. I also explain the most common swimming mistakes that quietly slow people down and how to fix them fast.

    Using underwater video swimming, I show exactly what’s happening below the surface and how small tweaks transform your swim training. I also share how to structure a smart swimming training plan so your time in the pool actually compounds.

    If you’re serious about swimming improvement and want your swimming skills to finally match your effort, this is the system I’d follow step by step.

  • Enhanced Games competitors will be allowed, if not encouraged, to take performance-enhancing drugs like steroids, testosterone, and growth hormones, which are typically legal to possess but are banned in competitive sport.

    Critics argue the use of performance enhancers crosses an ethical line, but there are also concerns for the athletes’ long-term health.

    According to USADA, the US Anti-Doping Agency, performance-enhancing drugs have the ability to drastically alter the human body and potentially change biological functions.

    They also have the ability to improve athletic performance, but can be extremely dangerous and in some situations, fatal.
