Swimming Got You Out of Breath? Whether you are swimming for pleasure, training for a triathlon, or you swim competitively, the most effective way of enhancing your performance and increasing your enjoyment of swimming is to improve your technique.

One aspect of the freestyle technique that many less experienced swimmers and new triathletes find difficult to learn is how to breathe. In fact, the need to breathe creates one of the biggest challenges for anyone trying to swim freestyle efficiently. However, breathing becomes much easier if you remember to relax, breathe out (when your face is in the water), rotate your head with your body to breathe, and try to keep your face partially in the water when you inhale.

http://www.rockstartriathleteacademy.com 5 tips on rocking the triathlon wetsuit

5. Bend Your Elbows. Many triathletes put on a wetsuit and feel “stiff” in
the arms. In reality, the changes in panel thickness in a triathlon wetsuit
will allow you to comfortably bend your arms, and you should have a “high
elbow” recovery while swimming in your wetsuit in the same way you do while
swimming without one. And the stroke under your body should also have a high
elbow bend, not a straight arm.

4. Swim Hard. Many triathletes go for long and easy open water swims in
their triathlon wetsuit, without actually pushing themselves to “race pace”
intensity. The expansion of the lungs, body heat, and increase in blood
vessel size that occurs once you start swimming hard can make a wetsuit feel
tight and uncomfortable. If you’re not ready for that feeling during the
race, you’re more likely to panic.

3. Practice the Exit. Don’t finish a practice swim in your wetsuit and then
ho-hum your way to the beach, shore or car, then take your time exiting your
wetsuit. Anytime that I take my wetsuit off, I am hurriedly fumbling the
same way that I do during a race, beginning the exit process as soon as my
feet hit bottom and I start running upright from the water. I guarantee that
practicing the triathlon wetsuit exit will vastly improve your transition
times.

2. Vaseline, Body Glide, Pam Cooking Spray or Crisco. You certainly do want
to lubricate your extremities with one of these options, so that you can
slip in and out of your wetsuit without it “sticking” on your hands and
feet, but you’ll also want to put some of that lubricant on the back of your
neck, to avoid the annoying neck chafing that can occur with as little as 10
minutes of swimming.

1. Read the Instructions. Nearly all wetsuits come with specific care
instructions. If you bought a used triathlon wetsuit, then you can easily
find the care instructions on the internet. These instructions are not meant
to be glanced at and then discarded. Rinse, clean, dry and properly fold
your wetsuit after training and races, and you’ll vastly improve the life of
your wetsuit!

Ready to start swimming? Grab your wetsuit and get going! And remember to
