Becoming a winner in a swimming competition requires more than just strength. If you are going to be the fastest swimmer in the pool, you need to have perfect technique. Perfect technique comes from practice and making sure your head is in the race. You need to make sure that the technique you’ve been practicing so diligently isn’t lost in the heat of the race. This requires total concentration. Concentration is the key, and those with great swimming ability, strength, and focus will be the ones to come out on top.

A great way to improve your drive and focus is through hypnosis. Many athletes have used hypnosis to improve their game and help them become winners. Many sports stars use hypnosis when they need to come out of a depression. Hypnosis will definitely help them out of their slump, but why wait until you’re in a slump to improve your swimming? Not a few Olympic Games medalists have successfully used sports hypnosis to keep their concentration and focus on winning the medal. They only get one injection every four years, so they really need to be at the top of their game, both mentally and physically. There are even some teams that have used hypnotism to help the entire team win gold.

Hypnosis can improve the performance of any body and can definitely help swimmers improve their times. He only remembers that hypnosis does not produce miracles. Will he take an average swimmer and turn him into an Olympian? No, hypnosis will not necessarily make you an Olympic star. However, it can help an average swimmer improve his times and make him a better swimmer. To be great you still need to practice, eat right and exercise. Hypnosis will only give you that extra edge over your competition because your focus and concentration will be superior.

You may be wondering what will happen during a hypnosis session. It really depends on the hypnotist you will be working with to improve your swimming. There are many different techniques that hypnotists use. However, they are likely to help you relax and get your mind into an alpha state. When your mind is in an alpha state, it is 200 times more susceptible to suggestions. When you are in an alpha state, you will be truly awake and you will remember everything that happens during the sessions. Some people can go into a deeper trance, but it is not necessary for the hypnosis process. The important thing to remember is that you will be aware of and likely to remember your session. Just because you remember your session doesn’t mean you weren’t hypnotized. You must remember that an alpha state is a state of full awareness and when you are in this state you will benefit from the suggestions that come your way.

The technique used once you are in an alpha state can be as simple as visualization. Imagine that you are a swimmer and you need to practice turns. When you practice, sometimes you make a good spin, but you also mess up your spins while practicing. This means that you are practicing bad turns part of the time that you are practicing. This does not mean that you should stop practicing. Of course, one needs to practice, but visualizing perfect turns will help build confidence in your ability to make perfect turns every time. It helps your subconscious mind to understand what you need to do. Since your subconscious is what controls your body and its actions, this is the best way to make a positive change in your technique.

Try it yourself. Go to the pool and spend a few minutes visualizing the perfect spin. Close your eyes and see yourself going through the movements of the twist making sure that the technique is perfect. Once you do the visualization exercise, get in the pool and do some spins. I bet your turns have improved. Now, for this to be a long-term change, you need to do it on an ongoing basis.

Again, this is just one technique that hypnotists can use. The hypnotist will determine where you should work. They will then use the tools they think are best to help you improve your situation based on your specific needs. These tools will act on your subconscious mind and really give you an edge over your swimming competition. You shouldn’t be afraid of hypnosis either. The hypnotist won’t make you act like a chicken or be able to do anything you don’t want to do. Remember that you will be alert during the hypnosis process and cannot be forced to do anything you do not want to. You should still check the references of the hypnotist you plan to work with and make sure you feel comfortable with that person.

So whatever your swimming goals are, you can use hypnosis to increase your potential and focus on the game and become a better swimmer.
