Dan Daly, Swimming technique, strength, and speed coach, joins the show's Host, (me) Run Coach Alli. 

Dan was a sprinter back in the day and has developed his aerobic capacity through endurance training in open water swimming and races. He is currently training an athlete to swim across the English Channel and works with swimmers from all walks of life to use endurance training in and out of the pool to stay healthy and fit and train for aggressive athletic goals. Dan is highly passionate about helping other aspiring swimmers, and seasoned athletes find their best selves through the sport of swimming by focusing on swimming technique at the forefront of his coaching methodology. Dan has coached hundreds of athletes to the best performances of their lives through science-backed training, extensive exercise science background and work experience, and his result-driven personalized programs. He offers video tutorials showing the parallels and importance of taking your technique outside the pool and applying practice and strength-specific drills that will enable you to elevate your swimming and endurance performance for life.

Today on the show, we discuss:

• The importance of swimming technique to swim farther and swim faster 
• The benefits of swimming as cross-training for runners in a recovery program 
• How you can train smarter with the methods discussed on today's show, as well as by keeping a varied training regime year-round to keep you from hitting a plateau and continue experiencing fitness gains for life
