About Our Swim Training
It’s crucial to get on a proper training regiment before you embark on your first triathlon. The swimming leg is no exception. If you aren’t fit you risk cramps, fatigue, muscle tears and the even the possibility of not crossing the finish line. But once you’re fit you can blow through the race like a walk in the park. That’s where we come in. We provide free articles and information teaching you everything you need to know from how to develop the proper stroke to the best breathing techniques for your triathlon swim.
