Triathlon - Swim Training

[scotlandtim]

I've done several Tri's this year. Finishing in top 20 usually.

I do no swim training but lots of bike / running so I always have a poor swim then quick transitions and make up time on bike run section.

Time to start swim training - went to the pool on the way to work this am - swam 1500m. mix of breaststroke and crawl - knackered! Anytips on where to start improving technique / speed / fatigue. Thanks

Thanks all - just started reading the swimming post - got to page 4 ......


Yeah - wobbly legs, head too high - I've got it all!! Poor technique is for sure my middle name just now.

top 20 overall usually so good aerobic fitness but no technique!!!


What i've learnt so far is that contacts and goggle bad = I've phoned optician and ordered some proper swimming goggles.

All the gear and still no idea .......
