Should you imitate the Olympians? It is important to choose the right technique and role model for your swimming style. I compare the techniques of two Olympic champions, Tatiana Smith and Lilly King, and explain how their unique approaches to breathing and pulling affect their efficiency and power in the water. I also delve into the psychological effect known as "What You See Is All There Is" (WYSIATI) and how it can lead swimmers to overestimate their ability to replicate the techniques of Olympic-level athletes without considering the immense amount of hard work and training that goes into perfecting those techniques. Finally, I encourage viewers to draw inspiration from a variety of top swimmers and to experiment with different techniques to find what works best for their individual strengths and abilities, rather than simply trying to imitate the winner of the Olympics. Join me as we explore the nuances of breaststroke technique and discover how to optimize your swimming performance.
