#426 : Once You Ignore Your Watch, You'll Get Faster
What if the key to swimming faster is actually ignoring your watch? In this episode, we explore how constantly checking pace, splits, and stats can take swimmers out of the moment and disconnect them from the feel of the water. Learn why being present during training can improve technique, effort control, and overall performance — and why taking a break from your swim watch might be the reset you need.
From Strava habits to flow state training, this episode challenges swimmers to focus less on data and more on awareness in the pool.
