I love y'all. I can't fathom doing a 100y in less than a minute but I suppose your backgrounds are in swimming so it makes sense. I've stopped training for a few weeks due to injury, 4 weeks out from a race, so I'm hoping I can be resilient and actually finish the race here coming up soon! Thanks for the inspiration!
Late to comment here, but I just wanted to say that I found Chris's approach to be really inspirational. I love the idea of staying intentional in our workouts. It can be easy to tune out and just "do the volume." And while that may allow you to finish a race, it may not provide a lot of personal growth or sense of daily accomplishment. It can be a struggle to keep up this intention as fatigue sets in, but I think honing this skill in practice can ultimately make you a better racer. Really appreciate you two sharing this content ... you have access to some incredible mentors and we are lucky to benefit from that!
I’m getting ready for my first full distance Ironman. Love the swim tips in this video. Can’t wait to get to the pool tonight and work on them. Thanks. Keep up the good work.
My thoughts on fast or hard especially in a technique driven sport such as swimming. Fast with good technique describes just that fast, while hard can describe a variety of things that lead to poor technique. This also applies to running/cycling as well.
Great video y’all! You make swimming look so relaxing lol but I had a question. Could y’all make a video about how y’all go about strength training? How many times a week and exercise? Would be interesting to see. Thanks
Wish I could use all that equipment. All the local pools around me have literally banned paddles and snorkels from being used (same chain of gyms)... Don't ask me why snorkels are banned. Paddles apparently someone caught someones finger... Who knows. Great vid either way!
Your swimming footage is amazing. I am an aspiring triathlete, but yet have to start swimming (properly). This video is inspiring! Keep up the good work !
Love me some Chris hauth knowledge! I’ve always enjoyed him on RRP. Great content, definitely do a lot of this as someone who swam in high school and just never thought about it!
Hey there! Currently I own the agility paddles and would like to ask your opinion whether is it worth to upgrade to Manta Paddles. If yes, may I know the reasons as per your experience. Much love from Malaysia !
Hi there! The manta paddles aren’t necessarily an upgrade, just a different use. We use both pairs regularly. The agility paddles are our favorite pair of every day paddles; but the mantas are great if you’re working on your catch AND have good technique already (they’re big and can cause issues if you don’t have your technique down). Let us know if this helps!
I love your content, keep it up! Newb triathlete and recent subscriber: I noticed in your video that you do a lot of kicking. I know this is training and not a race, but I was curious if you use that same effort in the legs during a triathlon and do you feel fatigued at all in the legs when starting the bike leg? I’ve been trying to limit my leg activity during training but am now wondering if that would hurt my swim time at the cost of trying to conserve energy for later disciplines?
Thanks Brandon! We get this question a lot. Along with “why should I do flip turns?” … the reality is kicking makes you swim faster and more efficiently. Your heart doesn’t know the difference between swimming, biking, and running, so “saving your legs” is a little misconstrued. What we should be asking is “how can I save my heart?” In swimming: move through the water more efficiently and faster (swim for less time). If you can practice kicking correctly, build up your kick fitness, and incorporate it into your swimming, you’ll be a faster triathlete.
Good advice for the running too :D what is the difference between "fast" and "hard" ? Dumb question maybe, but I don't really understand the difference ^^"
No this is a great question- you can go fast without going hard. You can also put out a ton of effort and go really slow… swimming is a magical act where trying harder does not ensure going faster. If you get your head down, make your kick smaller, glide a little longer, you can probably go faster without going “harder”. If you spin your arms like a madman, you’ll be trying harder, but perhaps not going as fast as you can
@@FreestyleTri I see thanks for the clarification ! I will try to put into practice all these ideas for the race as well. Your videos are really motivating btw, thank you and bravo
Great tips thanks guys, Speedo is such a leading player in making things happen at this level.
That cut at 5:57 is so much fun - i would loooove to jump into the water right away and go out real fast!

Has to be one of the best swim videos I’ve watched. Some really good tips!

glad we can be a resource for you! crush it!

Finis snorkel and fins are awesome
they really are!

Good call! We can definitely include strength training in an upcoming video.
I wish this video existed last year before my Ironman! Great video and tips! Keep it up!

Great vid either way!
We used to swim at a pool in Brooklyn NY that had the same rules! So silly
Damn guys. Amazing footage at a beautiful pool on a gorgeous morning. Great video. 👏
Thanks Matt! We feel so lucky to live in this beautiful place

He's got some good nuggets, doesn't he? We definitely feel lucky that we get to train with him!
Awesome video! Good luck in your upcoming race!!
Nice montage and good vid as well - swimming is just so amazing
And the sponsorship parts of every video begin haha. Congratulations guys
We promise that every brand we talk about in our videos (past and future) we genuinely use, love, and believe you all would enjoy too!

@@FreestyleTri thanks for all the helpful advice! I need to learn flip turns actually 🤪 and keep up all the good work!
Nice video guys! If you ever make it to Perth Australia you can join me for a swim session ☺️
Maybe one day!
Are you guys racing in Napa and Folsom.
Neither this year! Racing Oceanside 70.3 in early April and Chattanooga 70.3 in may. Then shorter stuff after that :)
You need the cap on the snorkel to make things a bit harder
Sounds like a recipe for drowning, Steve
Can outsider join you for swimming session?
We will be traveling to Bay Area in July and it would be interesting to try yard pool!
you can definitely join for a workout! DM us on instagram when we get closer to the date and we'll give you the details
@@FreestyleTri ah, any other option for non-instagramers. HH
@@L0e0e0L yes! feel free to email Miguel (his email is in the about section on our channel)
