Mastering the Triathlon Swim: Gear, Mental Prep and Wetsuit Tips


Listen Later

So you're heading into race week, let's get prepared for the swim portion of your next triathlon as part of our 5 part podcast blitz! Coach Chris Newport offers tips on gear, swim strategy, sighting, drafting and more. We cover the importance of lubrication in key areas. Plus, we get real about swimming abilities, emphasizing the importance of positivity and breathing techniques.

Plus, get some Ironman North Carolina specific tips for what to sight, how to get out of the water efficiently and where to remove your wetsuit.

As for anti-chafing, we've partnered with 2Toms, who has an incredible product (try Sport Shield, both as a roll on for larger areas or the towelettes for convenience).  Join our Team for 25% off! We like to apply it with a nitrile glove, since it's silicone based, so that your hands don't get too slick.
