Aaron Peirsol's Swimming Tips

  1. Work with your teammates to challenge yourselves on a daily basis.
  2. On freestyle: Catch water with a high elbow; keep a strong, consistent kick behind you.
  3. On backstroke: Keep your head still and enter with your pinky first.
  4. On breastroke: Work to perfect the timing of your pull and kick.
  5. On butterfly: Work to find a rhythm and build that into your stroke.
  6. Believe in your coaches and your training regimen.
  7. Fitness and nutrition are important. What you do outside of the pool counts!
  8. Use starts and turns to your advantage. Think of turns as something to perfect and get ahead, not a place to rest.
  9. Always have fun and enjoy the process.
  10. Use Auro-Dri® Ear Drying Aid to protect your ears when you're done swimming.
