It sounds like a logical plan. It's getting colder; the open-water season is basically done, so you think you'll just hibernate and sort the swim out when the sun comes back.

But my advice: Summer is for racing; winter is for building. If you wait until summer to fix your stroke, you’ve missed a big opportunity to really work on improving your swimming.

Technique developments aren’t like turning on a light switch. They take two distinct phases:

🧑Learning it: Breaking down old, inefficient habits.
🤹Embedding it: Making the new movements completely automatic.

When we change your stroke, your body has to map out entirely new neuromuscular pathways.

At first, you have to think about every single entry, catch, and breath.

If you try to do that under the stress of a summer training block or race day adrenaline, your brain will immediately default back to your oldest, ugliest habits.

On top of that, you need time to build the specific muscular strength required to hold that new form.

A better body position or a cleaner catch uses different muscles, and those muscles need months of consistent work to build the endurance to survive a long swim.

Winter gives you the time in quiet lane space and mental space to imbed these changes in a controlled pool environment.

By the time summer arrives, the technique is automatic, the strength is there, and you can seamlessly take that efficiency out into the open water.

Spend your winter fixing it so you can spend your summer making minor tweaks and racing fast.

🚀 𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗩𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗹𝘂𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀: 𝗟𝗲𝘁'𝘀 𝗥𝘂𝗻!🏃♀️

We have athletes spreading out across two countries this weekend, and the energy is high! Whether it’s chasing PBs in the Hawke’s Bay or conquering "The UTA Miler" in Australia, we are so ready to watch these stories unfold.

🇦🇺 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗶𝗴 𝗢𝗻𝗲: 𝗨𝗧𝗔 𝗠𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗿 (𝟭𝟲𝟬𝗸𝗺)
Starting this Friday, Trent Deighton takes on one of the ultimate challenges in the southern hemisphere the UTA Miler through the rugged Blue Mountains. This expedition is a massive undertaking, and we can’t wait to see Trent navigate the technical trails and conquer this beast of a race. Go get it, Trent!

🍷 𝗛𝗮𝘄𝗸𝗲’𝘀 𝗕𝗮𝘆 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗻 & 𝗛𝗮𝗹𝗳
Back home, a strong crew is heading to the bay for some fast-paced action through the vineyards - hopefully with a wine or two afterwards:

𝗥𝗼𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼𝗻 (𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗻): Roger is riding a solid wave of fitness into this event. After focusing on some prior races, he’s had a relaxed build-up and is looking to enjoy the day with scaled expectations, but is still looking for a strong sub-4 marathon target!

𝗟𝗮𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗻 𝗗𝗲𝗻𝗻𝘆 & 𝗧𝗲𝘃𝗶𝘁𝗮 𝗧𝘂𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗸𝗮𝘂 (𝗛𝗮𝗹𝗳 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗻): These two have some serious personal bests in their sights. On paper, the work is done, and they are looking primed to chase those PBs!

𝗗𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗸 𝗕𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗸 (𝗛𝗮𝗹𝗳 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗻): Derek is using this as a vital stepping stone toward his Gold Coast Double (Marathon and Half), which is creeping up quickly on the calendar. A great chance to test the legs!

On behalf of the whole Boost Team, good luck to everyone racing! We’ll be watching those trackers!
