If the swim is the part of triathlon you worry about most, you’re not alone. 🏊♂️
A lot of triathletes can complete the distance…
but they still don’t trust what will happen once fatigue, race pressure, sighting and open water are added.
And when technique starts to break down, confidence usually follows.
Your head lifts.
Your body position changes.
Breathing becomes rushed.
You start working harder.
And suddenly the swim feels much bigger than it should.
That’s why race confidence doesn’t come from simply knowing you can survive the distance.
It comes from knowing your technique can hold when the conditions get harder.
Start with the basics.
Build control.
Then build speed and endurance on top of that. ⚡
Comment “TRIATHLON” if the swim is still the part of your race you feel least confident about.
