Spending the day with the team at Aquatic Sports Performance  was an incredible experience. From diving into their world-class training environment to sitting down for an in-depth conversation on the ASP Podcast , I got to share my journey, coaching insights, and passion for pushing swimmers to their full potential. We talked about everything from elite performance principles to how small details in training can make a huge difference at the highest level. But more than that — it was about...

WHAT IS DPS? DPS stands for Distance Per Stroke , a measure of how far you travel every time you take a stroke in the water. It’s one of the clearest indicators of efficiency  in swimming — the more distance you cover per stroke, the more effectively you’re moving through the water. Swimmers with great DPS look smooth and powerful — like they’re gliding instead of fighting resistance. That’s not luck or genetics; it’s the result of refined technique, body awareness, and control. Why DPS...

When it comes to swimming, mobility is just as important as strength and endurance . One area that often gets overlooked is thoracic spine (T-spine) mobility —the ability to rotate and extend through the upper back. Limited mobility in this area can lead to inefficient strokes, poor body positioning, and shoulder strain . If you want smoother, more powerful strokes, it’s time to prioritize T-spine mobility . 💡 Why T-Spine Mobility Matters for Swimmers ✅ Enhances Rotation for Freestyle &...
