Everything you need to know about the Swansea Swim

Training

Some Common swimming struggles for beginners.

It’s a good thing to know that many people struggle with similar things when they are learning to swim.

Training

The importance of your leg kick in open water swimming.

Ever heard people saying, ‘You don’t need to use your legs in open water because you’re in a wetsuit’?? OR ‘You need to save your legs for the Bike & Run’??

Training

Training the Swimming Energy systems

As triathletes were all familiar with the 5 training zones but in swimming, we like to make things more scientific and slightly more technical. This month I will be explaining the Swimming Energy systems with an easy-to-follow guide to help you put together your own swim session plan.

Training

Out of interest which Activity Wales races are you doing??

Top Tip - Start with a sprint tri early in the season. Swansea is a good one to get your confidence up as the swim is in SA1 Dock which is a great environment as you don’t have to battle the seas tide and currents.
