  • WTF Ur just saying how to swim.....this video has hardly any relevance to specific triathlon swimming techniques.

  • Why is she giving swimming advice standing in front of a volleyball sand pit with swimming gear in front of her? What does she expect to swim in the sand.. DUHH!!!

  • thenoblequran (Ctrl+Enter)

  • Good to begin.

  • she should swim by sucking my dick.. she looks like a whore

  • It's futile talking about swimming technique on a field. 

  • Phelps and any world class swimmers stroke is efficient.. thats when you can concentrate on speed. The more efficient your stroke, the less energy you expend. Swimmng in waves, choppy and murkey waters should make you adjust your head position at times and breathing patterns. 400 meters is not considered short distance swimming. If you've trained for the biking and running legs and are conditioned(good stamina and endurance), then you shouldn't have a problem competing after a strong/ PR swim.

    Thats what I thought exactely...

  • God this woman and her forest gump accent are so bloody anoying not to mention boring. You don't have to be a triathlon expert to realise you probably know more about the swim discipline BEFORE you watch this video! Nothing learnt here, apart from I just wasted 2:43 of my life. Get another job you awful teacher.

  • Im an ASA coach and a WSI instructor. One of the fundamental skills of the freestyle stroke is the body roll. As much as you roll your body up to pivot your head out of the water to take a breathe is how much you should be pivoting on the other side even when not taking a breathe. This not only allows the arms to come in at a much steeper angle but also allows you to have much more efficient flutter kicks. The breathing on both sides in a TRI is to promote the efficiency of body roll
