Oxygenaddict Triathlon Podcast, With Coach Rob Wilby And Helen Murray - Triathlon Coaching By Oxygenaddict.com

In this video we talk through ways that you can swim faster in open water without necessarily having to improve your swim fitness. Many triathletes struggle to translate their pool speed and improvements into the open water. There are lots of different variables to consider when it comes to open water swimming vs pool swimming. From ensuring your wetsuit helps rather than hinders your body position in the water ... ...to your ability to sight well and swim in a straight line... ...to learning how to draft effectively off of other swimmers' feet. I also explain our top tips for drills to practice in the pool that will help get you "open water ready". Covering everything from breathing exercises to body position to maximising the power and effectiveness of your catch and pull. I'm sure after watching this video you'll feel much better equipped as you venture into the open water for the first time in a while, and will be ready to translate those hard-earned speed gains from the pool!
