  • Why You Feel Heavy in the Water (and How to Fix It) | Between The Laps

    If you’ve ever felt heavy in the water… this is why.

    Some days, your stroke feels effortless. You glide. You float. The water works with you.
    Other days — it’s chaos. You’re sinking, flailing, wondering if you even remember how to swim.

    It’s not just “a bad day.” It’s your center of gravity shifting.

    In this video, I’ll show you how your body’s balance point changes — especially as you grow, develop, and train — and how learning to find that center creates the kind of flow, rhythm, and speed every great swimmer has.

    If you could fix your bodyline, breathing, and rhythm — with one tool — would you use it?

    Most swimmers train for power. Few train for balance.
    That’s why they struggle with drag, rhythm, and energy waste — because they’ve never learned how to quiet their head and let their body connect.

    The front snorkel changes everything.

    In this video, I’ll show you why the front snorkel is the greatest training tool ever invented — and how to use it to finally master your bodyline, rhythm, and breath control.
