Visualization is the best method I've seen for programming yourself for success (through the all-powerful subconscious mind, the key to all sport). This is the simple act of regularly mentally imagining yourself performing at your peak level, and this sets up a mental blueprint within the subconscious for your body to follow when you are competing...

Effective visualization is the answer to overcoming most triathlete's problems, and reaching the next level of improvement. The main reasons why the daily visualization recording is so effective is because of:

Automatic Relaxation - the hypnotic recording places you into an easy and automatic state of relaxation (perfect for visualization). 

The Visualization Gets More Powerful Each Day! - the recording has been designed to become stronger and more effective by the day! 

It Can Even Work While You're Asleep! - even if you go to sleep listening to the recording, you still receive the subliminal benefits! (Your subconscious is most open to suggestion when you are asleep, or relaxed).i

Many techniques such as visualization had to be specially tailored and specialized to suit swimmers otherwise they simply didn't work, as swimmers have a unique outlook quite unlike most other athletes...This competitive swimming Program is the choice of many head coaches and swimmers around the world, and also many US University competitive swimming programs
