March 2023: What We Covered for Swimmers

Hey there! If you’re scrolling through our March 2023 archive, you’re in the right spot to catch up on the most useful swim content we rolled out last month. We kept things practical – from shaving seconds off your freestyle to eating the right foods before a big meet.

Top Training Guides

We kicked the month off with a step‑by‑step plan called “How to Improve Your Freestyle in 4 Weeks”. The article broke the stroke down into three easy tweaks: hand entry, catch phase, and body roll. Each tweak came with a simple drill you can add to any workout, so you don’t need a coach to see results.

Next, we shared “Top 5 Warm‑up Exercises for Swimmers”. The list featured dynamic moves like arm circles, leg swings, and a quick 200‑meter mixed stroke set. Readers loved the quick‑fire format and reported feeling looser at the start of their sessions.

Race Prep, Nutrition, and Mindset

Mid‑month we tackled the mental side with “Mental Strategies Before a Meet”. We gave three easy routines: a 30‑second breath focus, a visualisation of the perfect race, and a short gratitude list. Swimmers said the mental reset helped keep nerves in check.

On the performance side, “Understanding Race Pace”** broke down how to calculate your target splits using a simple formula. We added a free spreadsheet template so you can plug in your times and see the exact pace you need for each 50‑meter segment.

Finally, we didn’t forget food. In “Nutrition Hacks for Training” we highlighted three snack ideas that deliver carbs and protein without weighing you down – banana‑peanut butter rolls, Greek‑yogurt granola cups, and a quick rice‑cake topping. Each recipe took under five minutes to prepare.

All these posts live under the March 2023 archive, so you can click through any headline to get the full guide. Whether you’re a club swimmer, a masters competitor, or just diving in for fitness, the month’s content aims to give you actionable tips you can try in the pool today.
