Spring Training - Stroke Technique Resources

Even those of us who choose not to compete benefit by organizing our annual swimming regimen into seasons. As we approach the spring season, it can be helpful to review our technique and look for areas of improvement. Obviously, asking your coach for suggestions is the best place to start. The USMS website is also a great resource for stroke tips. Check out the articles here.
