If your legs sink when you swim front crawl, everything else has to work twice as hard: your breathing, your arms, your speed. Fix your body position & swimming suddenly feels a lot easier.

Comment ‘LEGS’ below & I’ll send you my free tutorial on body position, what your legs & core should be doing, the kicking mistake that’s tiring you out & a simple check to see if you’ve got it right.

Here are the 5 drills I give swimmers to stop their legs sinking. Start simple & build up 👇

1️⃣ Body position practice; get flat & streamlined in the water before you add any movement.

2️⃣ Head down kick; face in, small fast flutter kick, heels brushing the surface. White water means you’re overdoing it.

3️⃣ Superman kick; arms out in front & kick. Does your body stay long & flat, or droop in the middle?

4️⃣ Sidekick; kicking on your side with one arm extended. Brilliant for balance & a quick test of your core.

5️⃣ Ankle band front crawl; no kicking allowed. Switch your core off & your legs will sink. Humbling, but it works.

Don’t try to nail it all at once. Start with body position practice next session & get someone to film you if you can.

Save this for your next swim

Garmin-wearing swimmers & triathletes - assemble. This one’s for you ⌚

Following a training session from your wrist is the easiest way to train in the pool. Load it on, press start & your watch counts your lengths, times your rest & tells you what’s next. No thinking, no guesswork. It’s like magic.

But not every Garmin can do it. Some will record a swim no problem - they just can’t guide you through one.

So we’ve put together the full list of models that can, grouped by family. Swipe through & see if yours is there (& check for your swim mates while you’re at it).

We built this list with Garmin very recently, so there’s no list that’s more up-to-date than this.
