Because of a glitch in our email system, and because of the overwhelming number of responses, we have not been able to get back to all of them.
However, I wanted to bring up a few important ones and respond to everyone here!

Gordon is muscling through workouts, experiencing discomfort, fighting the water, and stressing about open water.
Does this describe you?
These are the reasons I started Tri Swim Coach initially, and exactly what we teach to get over in our Tri Swim Success program. The idea is to get a good feel for the water, a smooth stroke, enjoyment of swimming and of course, befriending the water.
Murphy says:
“
Can you relate? Sinking legs and weak pull are 2 of the 3 things we hear people struggling with on a regular basis. The other one is breathing. There is hope, lots of hope for Murphy, as we are focused in on these exact issues so many triathletes face in swimming.
Lastly, Sonia says:
“
How about this feeling of getting frustrated about not going any faster, despite lots of training?
Yep, we hear that a lot too. Getting faster involves a combination of technique and doing the RIGHT training. Getting faster will usually not just be one thing. Just working on technique for a while is great, but you will plateau.
Intervals will help with endurance, as well as some speed.
Sprints will give you that edge to kick it into the the next gear.
But to give someone general swimming advice is impossible. This is why swim coaching is not something where you give everyone the same thing, where there is ONE plan for success for all, one secret to unlocking the potential for everyone.
However, triathletes do have these specific needs. You may need one, two, or all of the the training modalities I mentioned above.
With Tri Swim Success, we offer a step-by-step solution so you’re not guessing with “general” swimming advice- and you can break down both your stroke technique and training into the specific aspects that YOU need, not ones that apply to the general triathlete- since we all come from different backgrounds, and have different goals.
You can join the thousands of triathletes who have had success- which they define as getting faster, more confident, more competent, and “one with”, or more comfortable overall in the water, by joining Tri Swim Success today.
See you in the water soon!
