With winter well and truly here, you’re probably not too excited about the prospect of open water swimming…
But that doesn’t mean you can’t still get in the water and work hard.
In fact, winter is the perfect time to head to your local indoor pool and work on honing your front crawl technique.
But rather than just focusing on things like your kicking and your stroke though, you could consider working in your breathing.
Struggling to breathe efficiently is one of the most common issues triathletes face, especially swimming front crawl at higher paces.
Luckily, our coach Nick Harris has put together an excellent blog post outlining 5 steps you can take to improve your breathing technique for front crawl.
Check out the full article here:
In the post, Nick covers the top 7 breathing faults (that most triathletes don’t even know they’re making)...
And dives into (no pun intended 😉) specific drills you can do in the pool to correct these errors so you swim stronger, faster and more efficiently.
With an indoor pool, there's no excuse not to spend some time this winter really honing in on your front crawl skills.
Use Nick's advice to improve your breathing technique and you'll be flying through the swim leg once race season arrives.
Enjoy!
