The one tip that I wish I would’ve known when I started my journey is that for triathlons and long distance swimming a two beat kick is enough for us beginners. Kicking too much was wearing me out. I switched to this kick pattern and focused on entry/catch pull/exit.. it made all the difference. Katie Ledecky a great example (but she does switch around her kicking as needed 😁).

Very well put together video. Thanks.

Thanks Heather. I use a local 25m pool just to get the basic training in. The Garmin swim training (part of the Triathlon training plans) seem varied and challenging enough for my level 👌🏻

I learned swim by myself after I retired from work. My coaches are on RU-vid. I paused after each lap to recall how I felt about form, water, breath, and efficiency. I would try correction on the return lap. I swim 6 days a week for an hour, using buoy and paddles to warm up. Recently I started doing aqua jogging and vertical flutter kick for about 15/20 minutes. I reduced some swim time to get jogging and kicking in, building leg strength (too lazy to road run).

I think a really good beginner swim program is 0-1650, which gets you from swimming only 100meters to a full mile by the end of the six week program.

I was born with a big pair of lungs, so swimming came naturally. However, it wasn’t until I learned how, and when, to breathe that I saw a significant improvement on the swimming leg of triathlon.

It’s like gtn reads my mind

@jontavd Год назад

The same for me, haha

Glad to be of help 😆

The nice thing about summer is that you can skip the pool altogether and just do all of your practice sessions via OWS. It’s nice being able to show up at your local lake or outside venue whenever and just do your own thing.

@robohippy Год назад

You also need some underwater camera work to help analyze your stroke. You can't see much from the top side of the water since most of the action is under water.

Running and cycling though is much much easier to learn. I have a friend who cycles and run but never learned to swim.

@MissSkylar87 Год назад

I am starting to train for a triathlon. But I am an absolute beginner swimmer. I'm enrolling in swim lessons. Do you think it's plausible to be able to do a triathlon in 6months?

@33Jenesis Год назад

Spring tri maybe

@highlanderthegreat Год назад

do yall do any BREATH HOLDING TRAINING??? like tom cruise talked about for 1 of his movies.. he said he was able to hold his breath for like 5 min... holding your breath helps release EPO yes the same drug LANCE ARMSTRONG used and was caught using but your body produce it naturally from your kidneys and you also release more red blood cells from your spleen so a natural form of blood doping so you can go harder in your race and not tire as fast...also its like altitude training but you can do it at sea level and get the same out come as if you lived and trained at altitude then came down to sea level and raced.with breath holding the body does not know the difference if you are at altitude or sea level....

@33Jenesis Год назад

I started by breathing every 9th (you can do 11 or 13 if using 50m lane) for 160m (my pool is 20m), and then every 7th, 5th, 4th, 3rd, and 2nd. You’d be amazed how easy breathing became when stroke count reduced. Now I can swim the whole 20m not breathing.

@@33Jenesis great job good sir..keep up the good effort

@winklertribe5268 Год назад

What is the point of a masters “class” if the “coach” does nothing more than write indecipherable drills On a board and gives no guidance at all?

@robohippy Год назад

Looking at this one a couple of times, if I was your swim coach, there is one thing I would correct on your mechanics. That is your hand 'form' on the entry, especially your right hand. You have a too relaxed hand so when your hand enters the water, rather than cutting like a knife with minimal resistance, your hands and fingers are curved, and splayed pretty far apart. This is apparent from the amount of bubbles you pull down into the water when your hand enters during the recovery. I believe you promoted the dog paddle exercise to get the 'feel' of the water. Total underwater arm pull and recover. On the recover, your hand and fingers point straight ahead and with minimal resistance.
