If only I swam in a straight line!!

One of the things that most swimmers struggle with is the tendency to circle swim during races. It's totally understandable since you're conditioned to do it in practice all the time. But it definitely slows you down since your time is measured from wall to wall and not when you've completed the designated distance. Now you can see just how much of a difference circle swimming does to your times! Use this calculator to see just how fast you can be next season by doing nothing more than controlling your placement in your lane (scroll to the bottom for the circle swim calculator).
