    Swim Breathing: It ISN’T about Breathing In…
            The panic you feel when you think you need to breath is such a visceral feeling. It is a physiological response to essentially being covered in water.

    Wet and Dry Workouts #Swimming
            As a swimmer you might think that all of your exercise is okay to be in the pool. However that isn’t true, whether you are on swim team, or taking water aerobics because of your joints. In both cases you NEED to be working out outside of the water too.

    Why Mr. Dustin's Swim Academy?
            Let's start out by stating the fact that the name is cute. The reason being is that it was what my younger students would call me. That kindness and respect caused me to roll with it, and now I use it as the name for my newsletter.

    The Difference Between YOUR Swimming and Olympic
            Just like mastery in any other skill, you should NOT compare yourself to the the top 15-20%. You are not reaching for that goal, and by comparing yourself you let yourself down. When in actuality you have made it a lot more than you thought possible!

    My System of Swimming Levels
            After teaching for so long you start to see people in certain categories or levels without thinking about it. Originally I would use the Arc’s system, but I found that there were some ridiculous placements. Therefore I created my own for others to use too.

    3 Steps of Swimming: #3 Arms Out, Dive Back In
            The worst thing I see with newer swimmers is how they slap the water. Some “advanced” swimmers might state it gives you more distance. 99% of the time you are just WASTING energy.
