Why Swimmers Get Tired Quickly 🏊‍♂️💨

Ever wonder why even strong people get tired fast in the pool? Swimming uses your whole body — and if your technique isn’t right, you burn energy much faster.

Here are the 6 main reasons swimmers get tired too quickly:

---

1️⃣ Poor Breathing Technique

Holding your breath or breathing late makes your body panic and muscles tighten.
Result: Instant fatigue.

Fix: Exhale underwater, inhale quickly to the side.

---

2️⃣ Overkicking

Kicking too hard burns the biggest muscle group (legs).
This drains your energy in seconds.

Fix: Use a relaxed, fast, small kick — not a power kick.

---

3️⃣ Wrong Body Position

Hips sinking = more drag = more effort needed.

Fix: Head down, core tight, body long.

---

4️⃣ Using Too Much Arm Power

Beginners “muscle” the water instead of using technique.

Fix: High elbows, long strokes, smooth pull — not force.

---

5️⃣ No Rhythm

Swimming is all about timing. If breathing, kicking, and arms don’t sync…
you waste energy with every stroke.

Fix: Practice slow, controlled drills.

---

6️⃣ Lack of Relaxation

Tension kills stamina.
Tight shoulders, stiff legs, or panic = faster tiredness.

Fix: Stay calm, floaty, and relaxed.

---

Coach Tip 🏊‍♂️🔥

You don’t get tired because you’re weak — you get tired because the water punishes bad technique.
Fix the basics, and swimming becomes effortless.

After 9 amazing and rewarding years of teaching her little (now big) boys how to swim, it is the end of an era!
This isn’t just a job for me, the reward I get from making sure children and even adults understand water safety and can use this in their own lives, the bond I can build with people and children from all backgrounds and ages is priceless. I will be forever thankful that you chose and trusted me to teach your children to swim 🩵🩵

At Wendy’s Swim School, we are supporting one of our lovely customers….any help is much appreciated to people who really needs it

This is her story:
I'm an area coordinator for a charity called children's hospital pyjama's and I'm collecting pyjamas for local children who find themselves in hospital over the Christmas period.

I'm looking for places to be drop off points and wondered if you may be able to help?

I can provide the box and add you to the list of drop offs and ask you to share with your members and on your social media. I then collect the olpyjams from you to distribute in early December.

The 2024 appeal starts on 1st September through to November.

It is legal for lifeguards not to be on poolside, it’s the parent/carers responsibility, this is why the ratio is 1:1 🥲 tragic
