Swimming one lap at an easy speed and another at a steady speed while maintaining the same number of strokes helps improve your stroke efficiency because it emphasizes maximizing propulsion with each stroke and minimizing wasted effort. Here’s how: 1. Focus on Technique Over Speed: By keeping the stroke count consistent, you are forced to focus on improving your technique—such as your body position, glide, and pull—to maintain efficiency as you increase speed. 2. Improves Propulsion: It encourag
