Tips for Open Water Swims

[movieman6588]

you can do breast stroke kick as long as you do it properly, it isn't that dangerous. Flutter kick is much more dangerous in open water swimming, because the heels come straight upward.

boo-ee haha

Dave I believe that breast stroke kick in the open water race isn't something you should recommend to anyone. Unless you want to get rid of all those nasty drafters and give them a lesson of their life time :| . People if you are reading this please dont do breast stroke leg action as you can seriously hurt someone, if you believe you need to stretch your calves keep your feet dorsiflexed but don't kick as demonstrated on video, either don't kick at all or do your freestyle kick dorsiflex

Yeah pointing you ankles is so important and also the flexibility to do this. Another good video

[cogiterium]

I had severe calf cramps after the swim in the Xterra triathlon in Ogden this year. The rest of the event was just, well...a pain.

I'm going to try one of your tips: Dorsiflex the ankles at end of swim...brilliant.

Love the insider information and relaxed delivery on these videos. Great job.

nice tips but make sure u dont look at the sky too much, if you over-rotate you will have poor balence in the water and you will either start to sink or you will find it harder get your head up to breath on the next stroke.

once you settle into a rhythm breath normally and forget about looking at the sky, its faster

[blgordon71]

great tips, but I never have to worry about the course...always too many people in front
