Here are my five tips to help you swim better and improve your swimming much faster than the rest of the people out there. The first tip is to swim in the evening time. So the pool is all to yourself most of the times. And sometimes if you're really lucky you'll have a whole lane to yourself during the evening. Second tip. Bring a large-ass bottle of water, okay? Swimming is a workout. To compare swimming I would say the closest thing is like running on a treadmill. My third tip is to wear jammers. If you wear like regular board shorts or just baggy shorts, it's not going to put you in the right frame of mind. My fourth tip. You are supposed to get into the pool, work out for an hour and get out. Finally, the last tip that I could recommend for you guys is to bring a smartphone to the pool. You need to film your swimming. You need someone to monitor what you are doing.
