Balancing speed and technique is important in competitive swimming because proper technique makes sure you're efficient and reduce the amount of energy you use. It also maximises the distance you cover with each stroke. It allows you to maintain a good pace throughout a race and not have in-efficient movements with can limit our speed and endurance throughout a race.

Interval training and sprints are highly effective for increasing swim speed. Interval training, which involves short bursts of high-intensity swimming followed by rest or lower-intensity swimming, enhances stamina, and improves the body's ability to maintain speed over longer distances. Sprints, specifically, help increase top-end speed.

Breathing control is important to swim quickly because if you breathe too many times, it breaks your flow and hinders your speed since lifting your head takes time. On the other hand, if you do not breathe enough, you can get tired.

Your breathing control affects your overall swimming effectiveness. Swimming for a lot of time means you also need to know when to take breaths and exhale during swimming. It also takes a lot of breaths to finish more distance. Therefore the more control you have the faster you can go and the more efficiently you can swim.

With a powerful streamline, a strong headstart is given, allowing the swimmer to conserve energy and focus on the stroke, additionally giving the swimmer the ability to accelerate when swimming. If the swimmer's body position is improper, the technique and speed can be ruined. This is because specific angles, stretches, and aspects of biomechanics are needed to improving the swimmer's form, and thus, their speed.

The streamline and body position are crucial aspects of your swimming technique. Streamline gives a boost at the start of the meters and helps save your energy for the rest of the lap and event. Furthermore, your body should be parallel with the water, in order to have a ease and effienceint swim, focusing on speed and technique.

The reason why technique and speed need to go hand in hand is because by improving your technique you will automatically increase your speed, and bad technique will lead to worse speed. If you only focus on speed, and don't focus on the technique of your stroke, you wont be able to go as fast as you would be if you also prioritised technique a little. On the other hand, if you only focus on technique, then you won't be improving your speed, and as a result of that you won't be able to go any faster.
