The Secret to Sensitivity, Control, and Stroke Mastery Across All Four Strokes In the Individual Medley (IM), where swimmers must seamlessly transition between four distinct strokes, one skill quietly underpins them all: water feel . Also known as “proprioception” or “catch sensitivity,” water feel is the ability to sense pressure, direction, and resistance in the water — allowing you to pull with precision, not just power. And the most effective way to develop it? Sculling .

Mastering the Medley — Precision, Transitions, and Purpose in Every Stroke The Individual Medley (IM) is the ultimate test of a swimmer’s versatility, discipline, and technical mastery. It’s not simply four strokes strung together — it’s a carefully choreographed sequence where each stroke must be executed with precision, and each transition must be seamless. A weakness in any one leg can derail an entire race. But with focused, stroke-specific technique work, you can turn yo

The Secret to Seamless Transitions and Streamlined Efficiency Across All Four Strokes In the Individual Medley (IM), where milliseconds separate victory from “what if,” one often-overlooked factor decides races: body alignment . A misaligned glide off the wall, a collapsed core during breaststroke, or an unbalanced rotation in backstroke leaks speed, disrupts rhythm, and wastes energy. Enter the Zipper Drill  — a deceptively simple yet profoundly effective technique exercise

Mastering the Opening Act to Elevate Your Entire Medley In the Individual Medley (IM), butterfly is more than just the first 100 meters — it’s the foundation of your race . A strong, controlled butterfly leg sets the tone for backstroke, conserves energy for breaststroke, and builds the confidence needed to finish freestyle with power. But too many IM swimmers treat butterfly as a “get-through” phase — sprinting hard, burning out early, and sacrificing their entire race. The
