Even though I try to make many ow swims as possible my mistake is always staying in my comfort zone, if I see the sea choppy like the video(or check the meteo if it's windy=choppy) I go back(or cancel) and do smth else, leading to stagnation, non-improvement.
Global Triathlon Network This video was awesome. I just signed up for Oceanside 2020 and this is exactly what I needed. I've never swam in the ocean more than just messing around, so these are fantastic tips. Thankfully I'm less than an hour from that exact beach, so I'll be hitting the waves very soon. Thanks for another great production!
what I think is also very important to practice changing breathing styles. I normally breathe to both sides, but a couple weeks back I did a race where we had 1m waves coming from one side so I had to change to breathing only to one side going out and the other coming back - it really did get a lot out of me. maybe if I trained with this in mind and practiced it it would've helped a lot!
If I had only one wish (gear, coach..whatever realistic) about triathlon, that would be working with Gary Rodriguez. Amazing video, well timed, keep up guys, cheers 🤓✌️
Hey GTN! Thank you for the really helpful video! Are going to make a video on a proper sighting technique as well? Would be really fantastic, since i'm doing it pretty much be feel and don't feel confident at all :D ! Keep it up! Best regards!
Another great swimming video. Could you some time make a video about how often to breath (2/3/4 stroke)? I know that's totally individual, but an informative video, that helps to make an educated decision on 2-stroke-breath, 3-stroke-breath, or 4-stroke-breath.
@@heatherfell_oly Thanks a lot! I've seen that video with you and Fraser in the past, but now that I watched it again, it pretty much anwers it. While I make steady progress breathing to the right, I'm really just comfortable breathing to the left side. So for me, at a race, it was between a 2-stroke, which makes me a little faster, and a 4-stroke which allows me to settle into a better flow and takes less out of me. Therefore, I was not sure if the 2-stroke, albeit a little faster in the water, would slow me down later in the race. But the answer is to really put an emphasis on mastering bilateral breathing, so that it stops being such an issue how often you breathe and you just swim and breathe naturally. Thanks again!
Oh! Love that tip to practice getting out and running. Like, duh! Lightbulb moment. I’ve never practiced this and this is where I get issues like cramps.
I was scheduled for an IM in a lake but due to COVID, it was cancelled. I stupidly signed up for IM Florida. I'm not sure I'm going to have the horsepower required to get through the waves. Unfortunately, I don't have access to the Ocean right now.
"take a group of your friends" Huh, so I'll never get that training done. Who does triathlons AND has friends? In general do people have friends that have Wetsuits to take out on a swim? 😂😂

Do you do enough open water swimming? Let us know!
Thank you for the video, next sunday i have my first half long distance in open water😄

Yes, live in Michigan, the Great Lakes unsalted and shark free.

Gerry is the man! Tower 26, baby.
He certainly knows his stuff :)
This advice was priceless. Great stuff.
Tower26 online subscriber myself since March. Painfully loving his workouts!

The timing of this video release is perfect. Training just started 👌🏼
Running straight out of the pool straight to the change rooms is no problem right now in Australia 🥶
Relaxed
Correct I am average swimmer; my succes is staying relaxed - no problem, will tackle any swim within my abilities that way...
I loved this video. Still dreaming of my first triathlon.

Hey, we have touched upon sighting before in this video, hope it helps 👉 gtn.io/SwimSkills

AdvEx we've got a video specifically on breathing, check it out and let us know how you get on.

@@advex4428 also consider mixing 2 or 4 as and when you need more air. Openwater swimming needs to be fluid and feeling relaxed is key!
That would be a bit chilly here in Australia right now! Thanks for the tips, I'll put these to good use when triathlon season starts up here again :D

Hope that helps.
the man, the myth, the legend
Great review! Thanks!
Some good common sense tips. thank you!
I'm so grateful to you
Lucy Charles can body surf pretty well!

Heathers bod on that thumbnail pic is smoking!
my Problem is a can´t swim straight i swim Right than left thant Right...-.-
How can I hire him as my coach?
tower26.com
let me sum up this 8 min video, practice period
is it normal to swim slower In a wetsuit???
It depends on what is limiting you. Most people are usually faster as you're higher in the water with a wetsuit.
@@heatherfell_oly would appear being a bit rubbish in the water is my main limiting problem lol
Duck dives
Don't like races, just swimming and enjoying the sea.
"take a group of your friends"
Huh, so I'll never get that training done.
Who does triathlons AND has friends?
In general do people have friends that have Wetsuits to take out on a swim? 😂😂
Lakes and rivers only for me, not a fan of the sea!
Heathers so god damn hott
