OPEN WATER SWIMMING

This week’s workout is open water swimming.

Swimming in open water is very important to implement into your training - especially leading into a race. It can be a big difference from open water swimming to pool swimming, especially when it comes to technique. It’s important you get used to using different techniques in different conditions.

Our tip is to implement open water sessions 1-2x a week in race periods and the last weeks leading into your first race. If you have access to open water all year around - it can be ideal to do it all year around. Practice race starts and different intervals - specific to your race. Good luck!
