    Tonight at the West-Danish Regional Short Course Championships in Aarhus, Aalborg’s elite team led by Mie Østergaard Nielsen demolished the Danish (club) record in the women’s 4×100 medley, with a time of 4:00.21 replacing Swim Team Odense’s Danish record of 4:03.06 from the Danish Short Course Championships in 2009, then featuring Rikke Møller Pedersen in the breaststroke. The Danish national team record is 3:49.87, from when they won gold at the Istanbul 2012 World Short Course Championships.

    Aalborg’s split times now were Mie Ø. Nielsen 57.35 – Louise B. Dalgaard 1:08.6* – Mathilde Pugholm Hvid 59.7* and Julie Levisen 54.38 (*the breaststroke and butterfly splits apparently a bit messed up of technical reasons, see the result list)

    “One of the most common problems I see in freestyle is crossing entry which can cause overrotation of the body and will put stress on your joints as apposed to the proper muscles groups that produce power, control, and stability. Use this focal point in your swimming and see how you feel . You will be surprised at the amount of stress is taken off the shoulders!”
