"Don't believe what your eyes are telling you. All they show is limitation. Look with your understanding, find out what you already know, and you'll see the way to fly." ~ Richard Bach

Last time, we talked a little about using intervals in swim training and about how you might begin building your own interval-based swim workouts. Now it's time to go a little deeper.

Tip of the Day: Eventually, every swimmer gets a kick in the face. Put your goggles on under your swim cap to make sure they stay on.
