Tips for triathlon swimming
It’s always great to be given a few great
triathlon swimming techniques from competitors beating you out of the water.
Here are a few of the best Triathlon
Swimming.
1. Don't miss your groups swim time. It’s
always funny seeing someone running through the water after their wave has gone
off, however it’s not great for getting a good time.
2. Do a swimming warm up, it’s essential to
get blood to your arms, particularly as the body needs time to adjust to the
cold of the water.
3. Swim goggles - put your swimming goggles
on first - so your swim cap goes over the back of your goggles. This will make
it difficult for your goggles to come off in the sea of arms and legs.www.poqswim.com
4. Pick your starting point, if you’re not
a confident swimmer it might be best not to be in the middle of the pack, start
on the left or right extreme.
5. Dolphin Dives - it much more efficient
to dive and swim through the water than run through the deeper water. Have
confidence, dolphin dive!www.poqswim.com
6. Keep your head down. If your head is
pointing down your legs will be more parallel and less of a drag.
7. Long slow strokes are better for
beginners - rather than turning the arms over and suffering in the second half.
8. Keep Swimming - regardless of what over
swimmers are doing - yes they may swim on top of you - its best to try and keep
moving forward. It’s a bit freaky but you will survive.
9. When you open your mouth to take a breathe,
try opening on the beach side, this will save you swallowing sea water.
