Swimming Technique improves Triathletes’ time

Improvements to their swimming technique usually show the most improvement in time for triathletes. This is because swimming is the one area where triathletes lag behind in terms of technique. In the past, what they’ve didn’t have in technique, they made up for with strength. 

This is an Important Part of Your Triathlon Training

Make improving your technique in swimming a vital part of your triathlon training. Find yourself a swim coach. Somebody who has the skills to watch what you’re doing and give you tips to improve your swimming. 

In terms of technique, your focus will be divided into two areas: improving your vessel shaping and increasing your propulsion through the water. Make sure he or she can help you not just with increasing your propulsion but can also work with you to make your swimming through the water sleeker.

What you will be working on will include eliminating unnecessary motions that deviate from your goal. You’ll learn to keep your horizontal and lateral alignments straighter to keep you from putting out energy that doesn’t propel you forward. You can also work on proper breathing and hand movements. 

Before you decide that you swim well enough, consider this. Studies show that you can swim up to 50% faster if you improve your technique.
