The most common questions we get tweeted to Paul Newsome's and Swim Smooth's twitter accounts are about CSS (Critical Swim Speed) training. Why does it work? Is it for me? Why am I getting strange results from the test?
To answer those questions we've just released this new video on Youtube:
In it Paul explains:
- What CSS is
- Why the CSS test works
- Understanding what sort of athlete you are
- How you should go about trying to get faster as a distance swimmer
To get you started with CSS training you can see the CSS test here: www.swimsmooth.com/css
Consider using a Tempo Trainer Pro which is the perfect tool to pace yourself accurately through a CSS set: http://www.swimsmooth.com/finis-tempo-trainer-pro.html
And you'll find plenty of CSS sessions in one of our excellent Waterproof Training Plans: www.swimsmooth.com/trainingplans.html
Consistent CSS training through the winter will really take your swimming to another level - let us know how you get on!
Things We Love: Level Water
Level Water is a new UK swimming charity. They find disabled children who are being left out of group lessons and teach them to swim one-to-one lessons until they're good enough to join group swim school or competitive clubs. They're growing fast and they need your support!
We've signed up to their newsletter and encourage you to do the same - you'll be entered into regular prize draws for free Speedo and Level Water swim kit. You'll also stay informed of where they're working and when they're holding fundraising events - Open Water Swims and Triathlons.
