The unspoken beauty of this interview is that the guy interviewing is remaining silent and let this brilliant young athlete express himself verbally about some very interesting approaches and techniques. Thank you sir for being a great interviewer. As for the young athlete, he is just 100% authentic, comfortable in his skin and really just a very cool laid back bloke. Great interview!
Christopher Doyle way over rated. As long as hand is lower than elbow. Most drop the elbow and hand is higher. So you slip. Press the hand down, the. push. As Sutto says Place-Press-Push makes your swimming go woosh.
The problem I have with triathlon swimming is the inability to find good feet to follow. I swim slow (around 2:25/100m). Most of the other swimmers at this speed are also poor swimmers who can't maintain a good pace, a straight line, or swim more than a couple hundred meters without stopping to rest. So, if I find some feet, they either zoom off and leave me, go the wrong way, can't maintain a consistent pace, or need to stop too often. That means in the small, local triathlons I start towards to middle/back and then tend to end up swimming alone. I can imagine swimming in a packed Ironman sponsored triathlon would end up much like running a Rock N Roll style marathon or half marathon. Everybody tries to organize themselves into waves according to expected swim time, but it's not perfect. So then you spend the entire time trying to pass slower swimmers and getting passed by faster swimmers and you're never completely comfortable, always having to adjust your pace, unless you swim way out wide enough to swim by yourself. I also agree with what he said about the stroke rate. Swimming in a pool, no matter whether you flip turn or not, you always get a small rest when you turn around. And the small rest helps out a lot more than you think. Especially over a large distance.
Evan MacDougall never rely on others (following someone’s feet), you could end up swimming a lot further. Add an open water sighting set to each training . It’ll save you lots
Kuranda Stu I do. It has saved me a number of times. In my first Tri, sighting wore me out. Now that I practice it every week, it’s second nature and makes all the difference. Still wish I could take advantage of some good drafting, but I’ll have to save that for when I get faster and can follow better swimmers.

Can we also have a video on "How to write race reports like Josh Amberger"?
I don't think Josh has ever had a problem swim around people, he's always been way ahead!! Great interview. Thanks Josh and gtn
Most chill guy in triathlon! Love it
Love how Australian josh is just a laid back Aussie. Makes me proud to be australian. What a fella
so chiiillllllll haha
Love Josh's down to earth-ness❗
Breathing was a real opener for me. I have found every 3rd stroke is my sweet spot...when swimming. Lol
I usually get out of breath. Was this the case with you before changing breathing frequency?
Great guy; excellent tips! (I like the way he got some advertising in there, his sponsors should be proud!) 😉
Advertising done right
cheers Josh , some good tips there :)
That drill is Shark Fin Drill and I believe you used to train with one of my mates that I race Andrew Spoor?
Would love to hear what a favorite swim set (with splits/paces) looks like for Josh. Something to aspire to!...
Great tips. Really helpful. Thank you
LOL - What can we say the dude is real!
Seems like a down to earth guy. Humble.
great tips, specially the fourth one
And i straggle with 2:00min per 100m i could cry :/ ;)
Didnt need an excuse to use the floaty shorts, glad to have one but :D
What at Top bloke need more athletes like him.
Ha such an aussie- thanks for the tips lad 👌🏽
I love tip number 4: great way to try to reset the brain and not focus on the chaos in the water!
Absolutely! That’s going to help a ton! 💚🏊🏼♀️
gorgeous location.... where is it?
greatest glasses in triathlon!!!
Best value pro at the moment 😂
Great!🤛
Legend! :)
so what is the stroke rate lol
Hi Lionel! :)
Please give us "Bike like Cam Wurf" and "Run like Patrick Lange" videos so I win that darned Kona
Or Frodo for all 3! 🤣
Allistar for the OD
@@markankone9362 Lange for the DNF
Triathlon Taren did that.
Interesting how he doesn't have the traditional fast swimmer high elbow catch.
Ya I noticed that too. Is the high elbow catch 'over-rated' then?? Josh pls chime in if you are there.
Way over rated.
Christopher Doyle way over rated. As long as hand is lower than elbow. Most drop the elbow and hand is higher. So you slip. Press the hand down, the. push. As Sutto says Place-Press-Push makes your swimming go woosh.
No butterfly intervals? Sighs in relief.
Would Josh beat Lucy in a 1500?
Everyone, I have an IMPORTANT announcement about this video! Play at .5x speed and you will not regret it😂😂
Play at .5x speed, it’s absolutely hilarious. ROFl funny.
Ok, I tried all this and still can’t swim like Josh. What’s next?
