Instructor quote: "Swim smarter, not harder. Since the resistance of the water is the primary roadblock to speed, it's most important to reduce your body's drag. By practicing the 'habit of perfection' in every movement, we learn to glide through the water, and that's when we get fast. Fast is fun!"
