Alice: Why is the enforced break from swimming over lockdown not necessarily a bad thing?
Ray: Obviously for people that depend on swimming for fitness and wellbeing, lockdown has been an unbelievably tough and frustrating time. But the upside is that they haven’t been repeating and cementing flawed technique - and their bodies will now accept changes to muscle memory much more readily. I have seen this new-found adaptability so many times in the past when I've been teaching clients that have been out of the water due to illness, injury or other reasons.
