Bite Sized Edition - 7 steps to being a better swimmer this winter (+1 bonus tip!)

14 minutes

Swimming is the most skill-dependent of the 3 triathlon disciplines, and the one which brings the least gain in terms of minutes saved on race day. And yet it's also the one where most triathletes are frustrated by their apparent lack of progress despite regular visits to the pool.

In this bite sized podcast I’m going to lay out my 7 step process for becoming a better swimmer this winter. I've also thrown in a bonus step for you at the end, including:

Why you need to see a swim coach regularly

Identifying your key technique limiters and specific drills to fix them

Key benefits of swimming frequently rather than long

The real reason why you should focus on technique first

Patience, and why you can afford to improve slowly

The link between a physio assessment, mobility, and swimming better

Podcasts mentioned in this episode:

Ray Gibbs - Learn to swim easy before swimming fast

Josh Spencer - The ONLY two ways you can become a faster swimmer

If you have any questions for me about how YOU can become a faster or more efficient swimmer, please feel free to send me an email.
