Stott<\/strong><br \/>\nIn 1993, Swedish cognitive psychologist Anders Ericsson wrote that greatness wasn\u2019t born, but grown. His ideas later formed the basis for the \u201c10,000-hour rule\u201d described in Malcolm Gladwell\u2019s book, \u201cOutliers\u201d (2008), which holds that it takes roughly 10,000 hours of practice to achieve mastery in a skill or field. Known by the term, \u201cprocess,\u201d to coaches, Swimming World details how they use that learning curve to improve the performance of their swimmers.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><strong>036 SWIMMING TECHNIQUE CONCEPTS: FREESTYLE TECHNIQUE FOR SPRINT AND DISTANCE (Part 1)<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>by Rod Havriluk<\/strong><br \/>\nMany sources suggest that swimmers use a different freestyle technique for sprint and distance events. However, science (both physics and research) shows us that a swimmer can optimize performance in events of all distances by using the same arm motion with a different arm coordination.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">040<\/span> SPECIAL SETS: TOUGH SETS THE DON SWARTZ WAY<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>by Michael J.

The halcyon era was a time of mega yardage being done by the likes of DeMont and fellow Olympians Brian Goodell, Bobby Hackett and Australia\u2019s Steven Holland.
