Today we're excited to welcome Tracey Bauman back to the podcast! She was a hit on episode 338 where we talked about how to make swimming more enjoyable and efficient. In this episode we'll dive deeper into building a strong connection between your upper body, legs and arms and the importance of good posture and alignment. We'll also explore the benefits of experimenting with different kicking techniques, how body rotation affects propulsion and how to find the right balance between stroke rate and stroke frequency.
