Swimming is a very technical sport and requires plenty of attention to the technique aspects of the stroke. We believe that a mix of technique and fitness work brings the best results and the training sessions should have a balance of this 2 elements. For the triathletes we recommend a third component in every session - open water specific training. The combination of those three elements lifts your swimming to the next level. All the our training plans contain this balanced approach to your swimming.
