New Zealand swimmer and coach Laura Quilter Laura Quilter explains how lightly setting your shoulder blade can create a stronger base before you apply pressure to the water.

Think: bring the tip of your shoulder blade toward your back pocket.

Keep the movement small. Don’t force the shoulder down or squeeze too hard.

🌴 Maldives Swim Trips 2026 🐠

A few years ago, I set out to find a new destination for our swim trips — somewhere that could match the quality of swimming we look for. The Maldives stood out immediately.

28°C in the water, 28°C in the air. Hundreds of fish on every single swim. No crowds, no noise — just turquoise water, house reefs, and the kind of stillness you don’t find in busier tourist spots.

This year’s trip delivered exactly that: incredible swimming, warm water, and an even warmer group of people. We’ve had swimmers come back year after year — and honestly, it’s not hard to see why. 🐠🌊

P.S keep your eyes peeled for our 2027 swim trips which we’ll release very soon

Keep your elbow pointing mostly upward as your arm comes over the water.

This helps reduce shoulder strain, prevents your body from zigzagging, and sets you up for a clean entry.

Laura Quilter Laura Quilter shares a simple wall stretch to help swimmers improve upper-back mobility.

A stiff upper back can limit how freely you reach and rotate in the water.

Get long, tall and streamlined so your head, hips and heels stay close to the surface.

Less drag = less effort.

Think tall and proud, with a relaxed chest and a long body line.

Focus on length before speed. Take a moment to reach into a streamlined position before starting your catch and pull.

This helps you travel farther with each stroke and maintain your speed.

Stop thinking about rolling side to side in freestyle.

Instead, think about pivoting around your spine as you rotate and reach forward.

This simple cue can help make your rotation feel smoother and more controlled.

You can be slower in the pool and still beat faster swimmers in open water.

Drafting, efficient sighting, and swimming straight can save energy, time, and distance.

Open water rewards smart swimming, not just speed.
