Daily Swim Tip from Coach Pineapple 🏊‍♂️💡

“Want to feel like you’re flying off every wall? Stop ‘pushing’ and START exploding in a perfect streamline!

Feet shoulder-width, toes pointed, arms squeezed tight overhead (biceps by your ears), core locked like steel. Hold that torpedo shape 5–8 meters underwater before your first dolphin kick.

Do this on EVERY wall today and watch your 100s drop 1–2 seconds instantly. The fastest swimmers in the world win races underwater — not on top!

Who’s trying this in practice? Drop a 🏊‍♂️ below!

Today I want to shine a big spotlight on one of our program's true pioneers and legends - Sidney Perkins (Brinson). Sidney graduated from Cypress Lake High School in the Class of 1988, where she dominated as an elite swimmer. She was named News-Press Swimmer of the Year and capped her high school career with a standout state runner-up finish in the 100-yard backstroke. From there, Sidney took her talents to the University of Florida, where she continued to shine. She earned All-American honors in both the 100 backstroke and 200 backstroke, and later qualified for the 1992 U.S. Olympic Trials. That's the kind of excellence and dedication we love to celebrate in our Swim Florida community. We're incredibly proud that Sidney has been inducted into the Swim Florida Hall of Fame - and more recently, she received well-deserved recognition with her induction into the Lee County Athletic Conference Hall of Fame (Class of 2026). These honors are a testament to her hard work, talent, and lasting impact on swimming in Southwest Florida. For our current swimmers: when you're grinding through tough backstroke sets, fighting through fatigue in practice, or pushing for that next best time - remember athletes like Sidney. She laid the foundation with grit, consistency, and a love for the sport that carried her all the way to the Olympic Trials level. Sidney represents everything we want for our Pineapple crew - turning local talent into lifelong success, both in and out of the water. A huge congratulations and thank you to Sidney for being such an inspiring role model. We're lucky to have your legacy as part of the Swim Florida family! If you have any memories or stories about Sidney (or know her personally), drop them in the comments - we'd love to hear them. Keep up the great work in the pool this week, everyone. Proud of all of you. Go Swim Florida! 🏊‍♂️💪 Coach Mac Pineapple Chronicles | Swim
