South Africa, Jan’23: Many triathletes need help with swimming. It is essential to remember that the goal is to excel in the sport of triathlon, not just in one particular discipline such as swimming, cycling, or running. It is, therefore, not practical to try and copy elite swimmers' techniques and training methods.

Swimming is often considered the most challenging leg of a triathlon, and many triathletes struggle with it. However, you can confidently improve your swimming and tackle the open water with a few key strategies and techniques.

Focus on technique

The most important aspect of swimming is proper technique. A good process allows you to swim efficiently and conserve energy, which is crucial in a long-distance race like a triathlon. An excellent place to start is by learning the basics of freestyle swimming, including body position, arm stroke, and kick.

Do specific swim training.

Swimming for triathlons differs from swimming for fitness or other sports. Specific swim training, such as practicing open water swimming, swimming with a wetsuit, or doing swim-bike transitions, can help you better prepare for the unique conditions of a triathlon.

Incorporate swim-specific strength training

Strength training can help you to improve your swim by building muscle power and endurance. Consider incorporating pull-ups, push-ups, and core exercises into your routine.

Join a swim group or hire a coach

Joining a swim group or hiring a coach can provide valuable feedback on your technique and give you access to the knowledge and experience of others who have been successful in the sport. Check out the De Bruin Train website and get more information.

Remember that improving your swimming takes time and practice. Still, with the right mindset and a commitment to improvement, you can confidently tackle the open water and excel in your triathlon.
