#476 What’s in a swim stroke?

Welcome

Welcome to Episode #476 of the 303 Endurance Podcast. We're your hosts Coaches Rich Soares and April Spilde. Thanks for joining us for another week of endurance news, coaching tips and discussion.

 

February is our month to focus on swimming and I thought the highlight of today’s show should be the Ask A Coach section. The question everyone asks is - “How can I improve my swim stroke?” We are going to talk about what that is today and the answer is going to blow your mind! 

 

Heck yes! I couldn’t agree more. The swim is oftentimes the barrier to entry for a lot of beginner triathletes and those who are interested in this sport. So, the timing of this topic couldn’t be more perfect as most of us are gearing up for our next season!

 

But first, I’m bringing back the Dad joke…What do a dentist and a swim coach have in common?
