Two young competitive swimmers self‐monitored their swimming using three different frequencies of recording. Contrary to the findings of previous studies, in which greater reactivity was associated with more frequent recording, swimming appeared to increase (compared to an instructions‐only baseline) only with the least frequent of the recording schedules. The results highlight the importance of matching recording procedures to the performance of interest.
