Better Freestyle Swimming By Swimming On Your Side Better Freestyle Swimming By Swimming On Your Side originally appeared on About.com Swimming on Thursday, January 14th, 2010 at 00:31:25.

Many triathletes and open water swimmers have found it necessary to change their stroke and swim more on their sides in order to conserve energy, swim faster, and get through potential rough water conditions with greater ease. Swimming freestyle on your side may seem like a foreign concept at first. But with consistent practice, you will be able to swim more efficiently, resulting in faster swim times and greater energy conservation.
