How to Train for Swimrun |  

Hi Chris! That's a great question. Our take on it so to just start swimming and be consistent over the eight months that you have before your race and get more specific in terms of race pace/distances/etc. as you get closer. If you feel like you need swim instruction, seek a local masters swim program or tri club that can help with technique. I wouldn't worry too much about using paddles and pull buoys until you've been swimming consistently for a few months. Better to build up slowly and work on your form/technique before doing anything Swimrun-specific. See you out there!
