Lucy's got to make sure she's sighting because she's always way out front. :) You're the best, Lucy! Thank you for that. Open water swimming is so daunting for beginner triathletes.

@paulhaslam1194 4 года назад

Great tips, absolutely spot on. Acclimatising before you start is crucial.& something I wish I hadn't had to learn from experience. I think it's also useful to get your heart rate up to speed a bit before you begin too as that first 2 or 300m can feel quite tough otherwise. I haven't tried the higher cadence yet but it's something I'm going to have a go at. I normally swim at about 30 & it looked like you were doing about 36 in the video but not certain, just a bit of guesswork & timing.

@michaeldowdy382 4 года назад

Paul Haslam Great questions and comments... just beginning here. What you mean when you say you “swim and 30”? 3o strokes a minute or....?

@ericdesanto1831 4 года назад

Thank you for great tips. I do have a question though. Many coaches have suggested swimming with a high stroke rate. But if you are going to raise your stroke rate with the same heart rate, something in your stroke must change. So I ask, how do you raise your stroke rate? You mentioned not losing the catch. Where do you compromise to raise your rate? Please consider that for a future video.

@nadinevogt9571 4 года назад

To increase your stroke rate, aim for a closer water entry (to your head), so that each stroke has less distance. It's analogous to shifting down a gear and having a higher cadence on the bike. That way you can ride/swim with the same effort but just change your "gearing". :)

@jeromeibanez2891 2 года назад

@@nadinevogt9571 Great explanation. Just to add to your answer to address Eric's question about the heart rate: As with any endurance sport, the key is to consistently be at your Z2. If your Z2 is at 40-50 strokes per minute, then your goal is to slowly increase that speed so that your body gets used to a higher stroke rate. The goal is to always increase your speed at Z2.

im not a good swimmer but i use a sleeveless wetsuit, is there a disadvantage to this? I would have thought you're arms and shoulder being more free would be a benefit

Giuseppe Lama wear earplugs it will prevent water rushing in and out of your ears and greatly reduce sea sickness.

@P.Gillett 4 года назад

I only just started swimming in the ocean, which is pretty choppy. I need to lift my head quite high to see where I'm going. I find that this is causing quite a pain in my neck. After swimming for a while my neck gets tight and sore. Any suggestions? Am I doing something wrong? Thanks!

@youtubename7819 2 года назад

Maybe switch to a breaststroke when you need to spot? Sacrifice speed for comfort while your neck gets stronger.

@TheBritishActingCoach 3 года назад

I wore a scuba diving wet suit after a mess up ordering a decent one...! It of course filled with water and my swim was SHOCKING! Glad it happened though, learning curve haha

Did you keep your necklace on Lucy, and which costume did you wear?

@lfoster7601 4 года назад

Of course, when it comes to sighting, no matter how you do it, being able to actually see the buoy is a big advantage over my rubbish eyesight, even in prescription goggles :-) I've followed all sorts of weird things, including a "substantial" canoeist. Couldn't work out why I wasn't getting any closer to the buoy.

@elisabeththaller1307 Год назад

Hi Lucy, I started swimming a few months ago and truly enjoy it. Now, here's a girl question: How do you protect your hair from the chlorine in the pool? I have noticed that my hair is suffering from swimming at least 3 times per week for an hour in the pool. Any help is appreciated!

@anoukhi9771 Год назад

Hey, I was a competition swimmer for about 8 years. My hair is quite thick so chlorine wasn’t a big problem. But alot of my friends put some conditioner on the ends of their hair put it in a bun and then a swim cap. If you worry about the swimcap shifting around you can always try one swimcap first than your swimming goggles and another swimming cap. But I only did that during races so I don’t know if its too tight after a while.

@elisabeththaller1307 Год назад

@@anoukhi9771 Thank you! I'll try it!

@orionvalle 8 месяцев назад

I made some kind of a routine, before swimming I put some conditioner to protect my hair from the chlorine and friction with the swim cap. After the shower I pass some hair oil and at least once a month I moisturize my hair

@johncoroniti9382 4 года назад
