 OPEN WATER SWIMMING
Well, there is a world of difference in open water swimming and pool
swimming. Both have an important part in your training. The pool
is the best place
to...first, learn to swim, then practice your technique, drills and
speed work. This will build your mental confidence knowing you
can swim, and
physically prepare you for the event.
The open water is a total different experience!
Now that you know how to swim, its time to take it to the outdoors.
The difference in pool swimming and open water swimming is comfort.
When I
say comfort, I mean your state of mind. Swimming in the pool is swimming
in your comfort zone, clean clear water, no current, no blinding
sunlight or the dark unknown. Once most athletes hit the merky
dark waters,
they mentally breakdown and lose all knowledge and understanding
of how to swim...
basically, they panic and forget that they know how to swim...metal
block.
“The lake swim was a lot tougher than the harbor, and pool laps
aren’t even close.”
— Kevin K.
I have been swimming in the open water for over 20 years, and have
the experience to bring you to the next level and help you understand
how to
overcome the metal block in just a few personal sessions. Contact
