Dear Fellow Triathlete, I want you to imagine this scene. You are getting ready to race in a triathlon this morning. As you arrive at the event, there's a cool mist hanging in the air. The sun is still rising and there's just a few puffy white clouds in the sky. As you were driving to the event, you heard the weather report: perfect skies, sunny, and 72 degrees... You couldn't ask for better weather to do a triathlon. You look around at your competitors and then gaze out over the water as you slip into your wetsuit. You felt really relaxed and confident as you were driving here. You've been training for months and feel like today could be the day you set a new personal record. But then as you're staring out over the water, you start getting that old feeling again.
A feeling of nervousness and butterflies. You start thinking about the distance you have to swim. You begin wondering what the water conditions will be like today. Will the water be smooth... or rough? Perfectly warm... or shockingly cold?
You look around at everyone else getting ready for the swim. It looks like today's race will be packed with contestants. You remember how tired you were after the swim last time. As you were training for this event, you kept telling yourself that this time, things would be different.
You trained hard — probably the hardest you ever have. But you never gave a second thought to the bike or run... just the swim.
You suddenly realize that it's always been the swim that seperates the great triathletes from the rest of the pack... Befriend the Swim...Chances are, your story may sound like this one. I know what it's like to be starting out in the Triathlon. Even though swimming is the shortest part of the race, many view it as a "necessary evil."
Swimming is the most difficult part of a triathlon... especially for beginners.
Many triathletes leave the water feeling exhausted and discouraged. They wind up hoping they can catch their "second wind" as they do the bike or the run next. Why do so many triathletes struggle with the swim?
The honest truth is... it's not because they're horrible swimmers. Many of them have no trouble swimming endless laps in their local pool. It's not because they're out of shape... almost every triathlete shows up on race day in great physical condition.
The reason why most triathletes fizzle out in

It didn't take long to go...
I started studying the philosophies and techniques from some of the top swim coaches in the world. I tested everything I learned from them. What worked for me, I started using with my clients. What didn't work... well, I quickly discarded that and kept testing new ideas.
"...Have Had a Very Positive Impact On My Performance.""I have been meaning to give you some feedback on my evolution in swimming for some time. The drills and videos have had a very positive impact on my performance.One example would be the inability to swim 50 yards without having on the wall after the first 25. Because of the guidance I have gotten from the drills and videos I have just polished off over 35,000 yards last month. But the really cool thing is how much more efficient Ii have become. The drills form the core of my workouts. Each day in the pool is an adventure in some type of breakthrough from the drills i do. While it has not been a cake walk , my proficiency doing the drills does effect my time for a set distance. One example would be doing 3x400 yards with a 1minute rest. Initially I could not maintain each 400 yard set at 8 minute pace. I could barely finish the last 400 in 10 minutes. Through specific strength training drills and constant focus on technique over speed, I can now finish 6 x 400 feeling strong and ready for my run when I complete my pool workout. Some workouts call for over 3000 yards-no problem, I just ensure that the workouts are primarily keyed to technique work. My target race is St. Anthony's in April. Thanks Kevin for the great guidance." Bruce Mann |
Pretty soon, the word started spreading and more people started contacting me for coaching.
Finally, in 2003, I decided to offer help in an additional way. I took some of the techniques that I use with my coaching clients and I created an ebook called "The Complete Guide to Triathlon Swimming".
When it comes to training for triathlons, I have never been comfortable with the traditional philosophies of "no pain, no gain".
I realized first with my own training — and later on with my coaching clients — that you can't treat your swimming training the same way as you do for your cycling or running training.
As soon as I made that breakthrough, I realized the secret to...
While I was searching for different training tips, tactics, and techniques... I discovered a particular method of swimming that seemed very promising.
Here's what happened — I found this particular method helped my swimmers get more out of their strokes, swim faster, and more fluidly, while exerting less energy.
If you're a beginner looking for the best way to get started then there are limited resources available to you.
Even if you have access to tri clubs in your area, many times these clubs fall short of offering any kind of true swim training plan.
But it's not the fault of tri clubs or masters swim teams. Training for an open water triathlon swim is not the same as training for any other type of competitive swimming.
And that's why after getting countless emails and customer requests, I created a DVD which any triathlete can use to improve their own swimming technique...

At first, when people started emailing me and asking me if I would do a DVD on my swim training techniques, I wasn't sure it was something I wanted to do.
Frankly, I wasn't sure when I'd have the time to even film a training video!
But people kept asking me if I could create this type of instructional help. And then one night, I had a major revelation:

Most newer triathletes are overtaxing their bodies with the way they train. It's not because they want to (who would want to deliberately overtrain?). It's because they haven't been taught correctly.

I realized that if I am truly a top-notch swim coach like my clients frequently say... then I need to help other triathletes too... and not just the ones who have the ability to train with me in person.
I've broken this video into three sections:
Drills To Improve Your Swim Technique |

How To Train Safely Using My Powerful Workout Routines |
|
Open Water Swimming... Race Strategies & More! |
Simply curl up in your favorite comfortable chair, watch the video and start using these techniques in your next training session.
You will have confidence and ability that you can finish the swim strong with much more energy and shave your swim leg down tremendously.

You could spend hours researching different types of swimming techniques. You could spend even more time testing each of those techniques personally — and still not see any improvement in your race time.
