When you dial in your race prep, you'll look forward to meets!   Thats when swimming fast becomes inevitable.   

Caution: Feeling fast is highly addictive.

Advanced Race KIT

• Basic Meet Checklist -  always your first priority.   If your basic kit is complete long before the meet, then you might be ready for the Advanced Meet Kit below:

• Suit Up  - if you have a tech suit, get it ready!   If you don't, it's worth considering, but get it at least a month before the meet, so you'll have time to get used to it, before race day.

• Cap Up - get a molded, dome cap.   Cap Flap is an epidemic, even at elite levels

Advanced Race PREP

• Music  - find a song that gets your blood pumping, and find a way to listen right before you race

• Watch & Visualize  - find a video of someone fast you want to 'channel'.  Watch their race as if you are them;  feel the water as they might, stroke when they do, breathe when they do.  

• Shave Down  - feeeeel fast!  How?  https://swimcoachingblog.com/2013/10/01/the-shave-down/
