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.

In this 2-DVD presentation Hedrick and Campbell deliver the most comprehensive A to Z swimming technique and training instruction available!
Disc One Freestyle Technique is divided into two parts Swimming 101 and Swimming 201 with Hedrick and Campbell presenting an instructional progression for freestyle that focuses on an outside in extremities-first teaching methodology. In Swimming 101 Hedrick begins in the water with the most basic adaptations to the aquatic environment and then demonstrates a stroke progression beginning with what the extremities do. He then adds breathing technique and timing to the progression taking you to the point where it becomes ability level appropriate to add body rotation. In Swimming 201 Campbell proceeds with a more advanced level instructional progression including drills that teach a swimmer how to incorporate body rotation into an efficient freestyle. Then it’s off to the lake where Campbell offers essential technique training and racing strategies for open water.

Disc Two includes Swimming Training in which Campbell takes you through a classroom segment discussing training methods for swimming. He includes test sets to establish appropriate training zones as well as seasonal weekly and daily training strategies. Bonus Features includes a flip turn progression along with training toys/equipment segment to enhance freestyle training!
From novice to seasoned veteran this DVD is certain to make you a better technical and race-ready swimmer as well as educating you with training strategies that will help you maximize your invaluable training time!

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!
