Theoretical and Methodical Aspects Regarding the Stroke Strategy in Swimming

Pacing is often neglected in the younger swimmers’ training. That is why we believe that, especially in the case of younger athletes, it is important to know and master the important pacing elements that may come into play in swimming events. This review aims at approaching the modalities through which the practice of different pacing elements can ensure the swimmers’ progress. By selecting the right combination of stroke rate and stroke length, athletes will be able to produce the highest swimming velocity, of course depending on their real possibilities.
