Seven tips to improve your swim stroke in time for your next triathlon.

I really like this article by Sarah McLarty at Competitor.com.  She does a nice job breaking down freestyle for beginner swimmers and triathletes.  I especially enjoyed her opening line,

"When you’re really hungry and you don’t have a lot of money, you go for the value meal. Whether it’s a sandwich, a side salad and a drink or whatever, the value meal usually gives you the most calories for the least amount of money."

Here's a quick run down of her 7 pointers.  Be sure to read the entire article for the details.

1) Don’t hold your breath.
2) Relax, relax, relax!|
3) Align your spine.
4) Remember to glide.
5) Rotate, but don’t over-rotate.
6) Never cross the forbidden centerline.
7) Kick from your hips.
