Pool Seminar: Essential Open Water Skills and Training Strategies for the Pool
Program Summary:
Essential Open Water Skills and Winter Training Strategies for the Pool
In this pool session, we will review the fundamental open water skills that you can practice during the winter (along with your technique and training fundamentals, of course), so that when the water warms up, you'll be prepared to make the most of your skill in open water.
In this mini-course, you'll learn essential open water skills and training strategies with fewer distractions than you would typically experience outdoors.
This session will cover the following key topics to help you swim efficiently in variable conditions:
- Sighting and navigation without disrupting your stroke
- Finding the right pace for your race or open water swim
- Drafting and swimming in close quarters
- Pool training exercises and sets to do in the off-season in preparation for open water swims
Coach Peter will show you what you need to do hit the water next season with confidence.
Note: If you have a triathlon wetsuit, please bring it to the session.
