Three Training Values

Speed is a product of work.

What kind of work?

Work to reduce resistance coming against us.
Work to over-power what resistance is left after Work #1.

Speed is one measurement of how well we accomplish those two forms of work. But it is not all.

Efficiency is using the minimal amount of energy to accomplish that work.

Enjoyment is the pleasurable product of the mind – the self-perpetuating positive motivation to continually work towards solving the problems presented by Speed and Efficiency.

These three together measure swimming excellence in my book.
