  • I Analyzed 1,000 Swim Techniques – Here’s What Actually Makes You Faster | Tri Coaching Finland

    Most swimmers don’t struggle because they lack fitness.
    They struggle because their technique creates silent speed leaks — mistakes that slow them down without them even realizing it.

    In this video, I break down three real swimmers and show you exactly where speed disappears in their stroke — and more importantly, why it happens.

    These aren’t beginner mistakes.
    They’re compensation patterns I see all the time in athletes who train consistently, work hard, and still feel like swimming is harder than it should be.

    Most adult swimmers train harder every year — yet their freestyle speed barely improves.

    In this video, Lukas Siska explains what actually creates real speed in swimming, why so many adults plateau, and how elite swimmers are developed over time.

    If your freestyle has felt stuck despite consistent training, this perspective will completely change how you think about improvement.

    Lukas breaks down how these principles apply to adult swimmers who didn’t grow up in elite programs — and how to apply them intelligently without burnout.

    A chilling tragedy has struck Arunachal Pradesh. Two young tourists from Kerala drowned after slipping into the frozen waters of Sela Lake in Tawang district, one of India’s most scenic yet dangerous high-altitude tourist spots.

    The victims, 26-year-old Dinu and 24-year-old Mahadev, were part of a seven-member group visiting the lake at over 13,000 feet above sea level. What began as a sightseeing trip turned into a desperate rescue attempt when one tourist slipped into the icy water.

    In a brave effort to save him, Dinu and Mahadev rushed into the frozen lake. While one tourist managed to escape, the two were pulled under fragile ice and disappeared.
