      Well step one, I should probably stop avoiding the swim, eh? 😅

    A slow swim is part of my race strategy, I can always easily find my bike!

    The main problem I'll be working on in the next few months is not really doing any swimming at all!
    As a cyclist I have just entered my first triathlon - aaaaarghh! you made me do it GTN!

    I'n an OK swimmer, but after watching you guys I found and know after hitting the pool I do not rotate enough with my body during the stroke. Thanks for helping me be more cognizant of being a bit too "flat" in the water! Cheers, Daniel Connor GTN Fan

    So many things to think about. To start, with a basic knowledge, the reach full extension relaxed freestyle I believe is very effective. It worked for me.

    Dropped elbow, being too flat is a problem of mine. And maybe overreaching a bit. Let you know next week how it improved.

    I am working on my cadence which is way to low and also of course on keeping my ellbow high.

    Have been swimming for a few months now (attended my first triathlon end of August after four practice runs in a pool). When I'm swimming, I get out of breath as soon as I put the slightest effort in. I need to hold an equivalent of walking tempo - otherwise I'd get all dizzy and faint. I have tried every tips and tricks I've seen so far. What's the absolute best thing you can recommend? For my next triathlon, I have considered cheating with a snorkel. Just need to find one that is not brightly coloured! :-)

      I am afraid practise and race replication is your best bet. Try not to kick your legs too often and keep your breathing at every 2 strokes until you are ready to progress.

    How do I keep my legs together and stop them spreading

      That sounds like more of a moral than a swimming question?

    Let’s be honest.. I think we all strive for a ‘shortened backend’. Think about the w/kg gains!
