Synopsis

On this week’s episode, Coach Rob and Coach Chris answer the questions you’ve sent in over the last three weeks regarding how to improve you swim for Ironman. The questions they cover include: My swim times aren’t getting any faster - how do I deal with plateaus in my performance? I see my swim times improving in the pool but can’t translate that into faster open water times. Help! How do I best use technology (such as a Garmin watch) during a swim set? How should I use Pull buoys? When should I move to swimming in Open Water vs pool swimming Do I need to do lots of kicking drills? Should I use Fins? Should I swim with 3 stroke breathing? I had a lesson and the teacher said I should be aiming for  5 or 7 stroke breathing. Should I make my swim endurance intervals longer than 100m? My ankles are really stiff and mean I can’t do kick drills - I literally go backwards ! What shall I do? How do I overcome the fear of swimming in open water?
