Want to be the best? To be the best you have to train physically and mentally to your maximum capacity.

These are: 1.Motivational Visualization Techniques. 2.Problem Solving Visualization Techniques 3.Goal Oriented Visualization Techniques. These swimming visualization techniques will help you: -Win more often. -Become mentally tougher. -Outlast the competition. -Get to the next level. -Recover faster and train longer.

Bringing out the best in yourself in any sport and reaching your true potential can only happen through a balanced training regimen which should include: mental training, physical training, and proper nutrition. Why aren't more people using visualizations to enhance their performance in swimming?
