Been watching some world champs videos, and everyone seems to be punching the water like they're trying to sprint in a tube. I tried adding an extra dolphin kick after each turn, but it left me gasping for air mid‑set. Is cranking the kicks like that actually normal for top athletes or am I just overthinking a trick? How many kicks do you normally do per length? Do you ever feel like it’s just a hype thing the commentators throw at us??

so the varsity pool changed the schedule again and no one bothered to notify us... i mean what's the point of even having a schedule if they just gonna change it on a whim?? i had my whole routine planned out and now i gotta redo everything... and the communication is basically nonexistent... does anyone else have to deal with this??

Just found out the varsity pool moved the 30k open water swim from Tuesday to Thursday??. Like, you can’t just rearrange my mid‑week life for the sake of the coaches. I already hit the gym on Tuesday for cardio, had breakfast with my 14:30 session prep, and now I’m left staring at the calendar, trying to figure out when the ‘new Tuesday’ will really be? Plus the pool now opens 5 minutes later, so I’m basically sprinting to the front row with a paper towel before I’m even on the board. Honestly? Feels like a power‑move, not an effort to help us improve. Anyone else still drowning in these sudden tweaks?? Feel like we’re not actually on our own lanes but in an improv show.

We should get a concrete reason or, if they’re hiding it behind a memo, let’s talk and let the voice of the swimmers echo in the lounge. This can’t end up just being another fluke in the rotation chart. Who’s with me?
