How to Train for a Triathlon : Training for the Triathlon Swim

[elinfiernoentusojos]

I read that 6ft joke in every swimming video... someone is desperate for attention, or many are copying a comment, btw how much they pay for being a top comment?

[queerfart]

I prefer the fisting method he suggests

hmmm. I'd always thought turning your entire body to breath is inefficient. But then again, I'm a classic race swimmer as opposed to an open water triathlon swimmer.

[haggisman2002]

Being taller really isn't that much of an advantage

[mcr89x]

in swimming lessons they told us not to turn the body but only turn the head, cause its faster.

@mcr89x

Hahahahaha you have been duped ! - your faster through the water on your side by far as less drag, breathing within the rotation makes it part of the entire movement and the heads not directing or twisting your forward propulsion.

Being tall such as 6ft is an advantage in swimming ?

[keithdechief1]

@TheLeilisa

If your tall you will have bigger feet which are more flipperlike,probably a more slender profile and longer forearms for the catch phase so you should be suited to it.

I've never heard of the turn your body concept...I would think that would be inefficient

[BigPurple121]

The most inefficient & weak muscles in your body are your arms, by turning your body you use your core instead of arms. Thus making it more iffecient

[VandalAres]

no, turning your neck will only make you exert more energy and hurt it in those long swims. By turning, you become more streamline and faster in the water.

[seanarrative]

I never knew that you had to "turn your body" instead of turning your neck/head to breathe.

Interesting.

when you turn your head your likely to lift it when you lift it your legs will sink....always turn with body and head together
