Do you feel like you swim slower in open water? 🏊♂
yep....it feels like the stroke in the OW goes to poo.....great video btw
if it is in the salt water i am faster, i have a very poor kick but due to added buoyancy i feel like im just using a pull buoy when swimming in Sea.
No.
Feel like? 😂 I’m definitely slower in open water….like 15 sec per 100yd slower 😮
I swim faster in open water than the pool, i float more and kick better as well and glide even more.
I swim faster in open water because I'm scared of getting eaten/bitten/attacked by something.
😅
I got bitten by punani gator once 😊
da dum... da dum.. Da Dum... DA DUMMM!!!🦈 ... The fear is real 😳
It's always recommended to swim with at least one person who swims slower than you do... 🐊
😂
in the pool I swim 400m in 400 m - in open water it's more like 400m in 460m
You guys are best!
As a amateur that couldn't crawl 50 m without a break i have the opposite experience. I swam much longer and faster outside due to the wetsuit
What do you think it was about a wetsuit that helped you to swim faster? 👀
@@gtn you float much better. Then I can stay more flat in the water. This helps me swim much faster and more relaxing. I went from not being able to crawl to swimming 5 km over a lake after 4 months. 2000 m was my best indoors before that swim. With the wet suit I can swim like I walk on land. So I can do it a long time
Thanks for your honest opinions and insights. Agree that endurance is so much more than physical! Planning my first 70.3 in Dec this year! Interesting you think buying power meter is sonething you would change . I was on the fence but watching your vid gave me an excuse to get one 😂
Many open water venues are shallow with water plants interrupting your stroke. My pull phase often feels cramped as I try to avoid grabbing a handful of weeds on every stroke
Tow float also massively slows you down if you are using one. I always assumed it had a small effect but realised with some testing that it was costing me almost 20 seconds per 100m in certain outdoor conditions. Still use it more often than not though
well done on your snowdon ultra. will there be a video for us?
Thanks! Mark smashed it... it was a sleepy start to the week 😂 Turn those notifications on and you won't miss a beat 🔔
The depth and with nothing to hold on to, it scares the jeebies out of me 😢
An issue I realized I had in my first Tri was the spotting. It always broke my stroke form and I would have to reset.
What if increasing stroke rate elevates HR and decreases form? I found slowing down stroke rate in the pool has really helped - I'd hate to undo all of that. I get a quicker stroke rate in choppier conditions but what if it's nice and calm?
This is a great questions Owen! One that would be perfect for #gtncoachescorner 🙌
On sunday i swam my fastest session ever. In open water. Because the lake was calm and relaxed, there was no choppy water. And even if I already got 100k bike ride in my legs, I was still able to put down my first 750m swim with a pace under 2 minutes per 100.
Whoop whoop! Great work Patrick! Onwards and upwards 🙌
As a total beginner I don't own a wetsuit yet.... however, I am really looking for better weather to train open water with free style, which I couldn't swim last summer. The last couple months have been in majority cold and wet.... currently 12°C and loooooots of pouring rain... biking feels like open water today ;-P
We feel that too, bring on summer! ☀️ You can check out our top tips on mastering open water swimming here 👉 ruclips.net/video/1KN2tNxR7lM/видео.html ready for when you do brave those waters 😉
@@gtn Thanks, I am indeed already binging all these videos in preparation :D
I think stroke technique matters more in open water
I thought i was much faster in open water but then i realized my fenix wasnt very accurate and instead of swimming 3k i swam only 2,5k😅
You forgot to mention to swim in a straight line in open water 🤣
Biggest think that will make most people faster on a triathlon swim course 😂
Hahaha easier said than done 😳
“Increasing stroke is one of the easiest to fix”. Except it’s not, and we’re not going to address how you would go about it😂…
