- Mornin', trainiacs.
Great swim, eh Chris?
- Uh, what part?
- The whole thing.
- Oh, yeah, for sure; yeah, absolutely.
- Totally good.
So gang, I felt like basically a brand new swimmer there.
According to the watch it was 3600 meters,
more like 3000 meters.
That group is fast...
So considering how much of a noob I felt like
it got me thinking, in between holding back barf,
what the three biggest mistakes
the new triathletes make when they start learning
how to swim.
And I got some simple fixes for 'em.
As always, just a wealth of knowledge here, gang.
Alright guys, inside; it's really cold.
Minus 19 Celsius.
Plus windchill.
Windchill is like, is just really cold.
So, this question came up over the weekend
in the Trainiask Podcast,
that I was recording episodes for yesterday.
And the question is,
"What are the most common swim faults
that new triathletes and swimmers make in their first...
Somebody said in their first few months,
but I look back to when I first started swimming;
I was making these mistakes for three years,
and essentially not making any progress.
And then, when I changed these habits,
I made a huge amount of progress
in just a matter of two months by stepping back,
entirely changing the approach that I made.
And I went from having somewhere around
a 14:40 sprint distance swim time to,
I think I got it as low as an 11:30.
And, I didn't swim any more; I didn't swim any longer.
I just changed how I was swimming.
These three mistakes are things that, odds are very good,
that you might be making.
The number one biggest mistake is...
I need some room for this.
It is, as you're swimming,
you're lifting your head to breathe.
And that's natural, because we wanna get
up to the air...
Water's down there; air's up there,
so we wanna lift our head to breathe.
What happens is, as we lift our head to breathe,
our legs go down, because our body
is like a seesaw in the water
because the fulcrum point, the middle point,
is our lungs which has all the air.
And what you wanna do is when you're swimming
to get your breath, instead of lifting your head,
you just wanna turn your head, think of your body
like a pig that's being roasted and you're turning
along the long axis, and when you turn that way,
water is gonna cascade around your head,
and you're gonna get a little pocket of air right there
that you can grab, instead of having to lift your head
all the way out to grab that air.
And the drills that you wanna do
to learn how to do this properly
are things like the corkscrew drill;
drills that teach you how to float across the water,
and once you're floating across the water,
then you just need to turn to grab that breath.
Now the second most common mistake is just working too hard.
It's approaching the swim the same way we do all sports:
Football, soccer, baseball, running, biking.
The concept that the more we push, the harder we go,
the faster we're gonna go,
doesn't apply in swimming really at all.
Look at any masters swim group
that is large enough to have multiple lanes.
You will see extremely fit athletes, in the slow lanes,
and you'll see very unfit athletes in the fast lanes.
And that's because swimming is far more about technique,
reducing drag, body position, body awareness
than it is about fitness.
And I think that the drills that you can do
to actually change this mindset
are learning how to calm yourself down in the water.
So you're doing things like sink-downs,
you're doing things like putting your hands
on the side of the pool, putting your face in the pool,
it's calming yourself so that you don't get into the water
and all of a sudden you've got
that adrenaline pumping through your veins,
and you're like I gotta go, I gotta go!
It's learning how to bring your heart rate down,
and learning how to be calm, and treat it more like yoga,
tai chi, things like that.
Third biggest, most common problem that I see
literally almost all triathletes making;
I made it, I'm sure you're making it...
We got to pay the bills a little bit,
and thank the sponsor for this video.
Health IQ.
If you've been around for a few weeks
you know that Health IQ has been sponsoring the podcast,
and a couple of videos here and there,
and I am so onboard for letting Health IQ
get in front of you.
- (mumbles)
- And the reason for that is
Health IQ is a life insurance agency
that they have structured their company in such a way
that triathletes, former cyclists, runners, vegans,
basically us, the people that take care of themselves
can get as much as a 25 percent savings
on their life insurance.
And being a former investment advisor,
that used to grate my cheese that people like me
that used to take care of myself.
We would have to pay basically as much as the
burger and fries, sitting-on-the-couch guy.
I was essentially subsidizing their life insurance.
That is not the case with Health IQ.
Totally onboard with them.
If you want to get a quote and see if you
can actually save on your life insurance,
go to HealthIQ.com/Teran.
Or, if you end up just calling in,
mention the code word: Teran,
and that lets them know that you came from here,
and helps us out.
And if you read through a bunch of the old comments,
you'll know that we already have
a solid handful of trainiacs that have outright messaged me,
and they're like, yeah, I saved a ton of money.
It's legit.
Now the last, most common issue that a lot of
new triathletes go through when they start swimming,
is just swimming.
When you start swimming, even if you swam as
a younger person, like you went through
don't drown level one, don't drown level two,
it's going to be completely foreign to you.
We spend all of our day upright, in the air,
and all of a sudden we're expected to be horizontal,
face down in water.
And people will go in and they'll just start swimming,
and swimming, and swimming, and swimming,
and you're not going to make any progress,
as a swimmer or triathlete, if you just go in and swim,
because you're not focused on getting comfortable,
and all the techniques.
So what I would recommend to every single triathlete,
is before you go and join a masters program,
or go and just start swimming on your own
and thinking that you're going to be building up endurance
and getting better as a swimmer
just by putting in more time.
Spend a bunch of time doing drill work in the pool,
getting comfortable, building the foundations
to become a good swimmer, and I can guarantee
that if you spend even just as little
as two months doing that,
you're going to save yourself years
of swimming in circles.
