Why people matter in swimming
Swimming isn’t just a solo sport; it’s built on the experiences of individuals who push limits and share lessons. Take David Meca’s 90‑km swim from Spain to Ibiza – he proved that determination can beat cold water, strong currents, and jellyfish. Stories like his show how personal grit shapes the sport. Another example is the debate over the most energy‑efficient stroke. A swimmer explained why freestyle feels cheaper on the body, giving beginners a clear direction for long training sessions.
