Reducing Water Resistance in Swimming: Why It Is Important and How to Improve
Discover how reducing water resistance helps swimmers improve speed, conserve energy, develop better swimming techniques and swim more efficiently.
Swimming is different from many other physical activities because swimmers must move their bodies through water.
Water creates resistance against movement, making body position, technique and coordination important factors in swimming performance.
Whether someone is learning freestyle for the first time or training for a competitive swimming event, understanding how to reduce water resistance can help improve swimming efficiency.
At Friendly Dolphin Swim School, we believe that learning correct swimming techniques is just as important as developing strength and endurance.
In this article, we explain what water resistance is, why it matters and how swimmers can reduce unnecessary drag.
