5 top tips for open water swimming/triathlon swim events:

1: Practice swimming the desired distance before the event. Also practice swimming whilst wearing your race wetsuit as this adds a level of buoyancy you may not be used to!

2: Make sure to practice your ‘sighting’ as well as usual f/c breathing in order to keep an eye on those markers/buoys.

3: Acclimatise yourself before the race to reduce the chance of hyperventilation.

4: Use Vaseline or an equivalent to stop chaffing/rubbing from swimwear or wetsuits

5: Purchase a decent swimming hat to improve your streamlining and prevent brain freeze!Rehabilitation from injury

If you are struggling to get back to exercise or with injury’s, swimming can be the prefect remedy.  Exercise in the water is not only great for calorie burning, but also because it is non-weight bearing, it’s a great way to get your muscles moving.
