Many people believe that it is worth copying the technique of the fastest swimmers. In reality, even the fastest swimmers have technique limitations, but they offset them with strength and conditioning. The purpose of this series of articles is to address scientifically the technique misconceptions that have become \u201cconventional wisdom,\u201d and to present options that are more effective.<\/p>\n
This month’s article does not address a specific technique element or instructional strategy, but instead touches on the concept of conventional wisdom and how it can sometimes limit swimming progress. Dr. Road Havriluk notes that conventional wisdom frequently can produce conservative progress, while also touching on preventing shoulder injuries and controlling the level of conditioning.<\/p>\n
