This is 2024 boys. BTC is at 70k, NVIDIA is almost hitting $1000 per share and Lionel is giving swimming tips . This is it boys …. Never been a better time to live 😂.
I love you Lionel !
Everything seems possible 😂
Non-talented guy who won't take no for an answer! Love it.
Feeling fast and working off a draft to learn that speed is actually hugely beneficial. But technique and efficiency will always be huge limiting factors in swimming & have to be worked every session.
Look at how James Gibson coaches some of the World’s best. Drills in every session is a must. Too many triathletes just get better at swimming slower paces.
Efficiency - Speed - Volume
No point in volume if you can’t swim efficiently.
Hope it’s a successful year Lionel!!
Can confirm--you are swimming well right now! Looking forward to coming back to join you later this month! -rach
I would love a video showing a season planning. The weeks, the days, what kinda workout, when are the races, etc
Love the swimming videos! Music is amazing, Talbot! Thanks!
It seems like he's been at this facility with this coach for some time now. I'd be interested to hear Lionel's thoughts on how his swim has progressed in that time and what the results are
Oh hey, I swam at least that many kms...this week. Totally agree on swimming with others, more volume, feel fast (been using fins for drills and I don't hate them anymore!), add intensity every swim and sadly we rarely have a coach on deck, but we've been taking vid of each other to see what we're doing wrong and RIGHT with our form. I PRd my 100 a couple of weeks ago by 8 seconds. BOOM! It's working, LS...way to beat Sam the other day in the race! God bless, Megan 🙏
EXACTLY WHAT WE NEEDED! More tips 🔥🔥🔥
Ari Klau laughs at that volume.
My 2 cents: for swimming one needs upper body strength. Most great swimmers spend lots of time in the gym training at max strength. Endurance swimming will keep the growth down. A great stroke is one where the muscle strength can be translated well into forward motion. When people have the same vo2max but swim different times, it's often strength (which translates in a specific feel for water).
Love your consistency!
Love the energy in the swim videos - always worth a watch for inspiration/to get mentally in the zone prior to my own pool sessions #more pool please 🏊🐬🙂
Thank you, sir! Just thank you for what you do. 👏
Would love to see another training plan video. Like the video series with the sprint, olympic and 70.3 phase. But with the new things you learned along the way and the adjustments (for example swimming volume/intensity) you have made
Great rules, will go swim now 😅 Documenting my road to my first 70.3 ✌🏻
So nice to see you swimming fast after swimming with you in Dundas/Hamilton where you were... uh... slower...?!!! You were eating my wake at the time, I'd definitely be eating yours right now! Keep up the great work.
BTW - I got a LOT faster by doing all-out sprints in cold water (5-12C) 3-4 times per week, no wetsuit, short distances. No idea if this could help you, but I'm testing this with other swimmers right now. We'll see results this summer during race season. Looking forward to your next races!
elbow higher out of the water, sharper angle into the water to catch sooner; rotate body more; good stuff
Amazing ending!
Justin can’t wait to swim with you in April! Great coach!! Yup yup yup!!!
Lionel giving swim tips? The world has turned upside down. Gotta say this is crazy.
When I saw the title i spit out my coffee. Lionel giving swiming tips?? That's must see tv! It would be a great vid if Lionel would share what technique changes he's made from where he was to where he is now. Doesn't do much for the average swimmer to just throw volume at it in the hopes of becoming elite.
Next he will probably give nutrition tips. His top secret: gatorade 😂
Him telling us what changes he made to his technique won't mean much, That's why the one point is "coach on deck' so someone that knows what to look for can tell you what you're doing and what to do differently. Even you knowing what to do can't really make the change yourself cause you can't really feel what you're currently doing wrong.
He technique changes are 100% irrelevant to you. Everyone technique changes will completely individual
@dbo4506 I wasn't going to apply them to myself. Would just be interesting to know. Years past he just throws volume at it and the gains are marginal at best.
@@Ken_Adams80 maple syrup 😁
I definitely agree in all. Maybe you missed the technique part . But I like when swim workouts got a mix of intensity, technique, recovery.
I don’t like, excuse me, stupid workouts I had from AI coach, swim 1000 m in z2 . We can leave that for OW . In the pool it’s like Lionel’s coach says and nothing else. (Got three adult children who all competed in swimming and one of them in triathlon). Swimming is not like running and bicycling. I use to say that it has more in common to play one music instrument than running.
Lionel should consult with the legendary Canadian triathlete Simon Whitefield and find out how he went from being a average swimmer, just hanging on, in the what is now WTCS Racing to getting out with the swim leaders and sometimes leading the swim out with Gomez and others.
He was really Australian
A lot of people who woke up beeing a swim coach lol, keep smashing lionel🙌
No, after thirty year of Tri and years of interacting with several national level coaches and world class swimmers.
💀@@gtkona1608
Well done. This hits at the core of what makes a good coach; ...making a mediocre athlete into a success even if the success is defined by only self improvement.
I'm almost there. Just need to improve on #s 1-5.
Would be great to hear what tips Lionel would have for the average "untalented" age grouper - having a coach on deck and swimming with people isn't that accessible to a lot of us and just saying "volume + intensity + feel fast" isn't that specific or helpful either! If the purpose of these videos are to entertain then keep at it but if the purpose is to actually help people then specifics, specifics, specifics would be much more helpful! Thank you!
I swam 5.5 km this morning so I'm close to be allowed to comment. Pity is I have nothing worth saying
And here you are….
Definitely worth it. 😅
Maybe you should get a coach then. That’s a lot of effort for no knowledge.
I liked that!
Only 1600 today. Loved the tips for this adult swimmer.
Wow, your stroke has improved a lot since the arena game
I'd say swimming in a 50 m pool also greatly improves your results.
And doing a weekly OWS
Go pack go!
Nice
I have the same swimming problem, at 2:00 per 100m pace. I am going to see Raul at a Cabos swim camp.
Don't ever comment on this stuff but you just gotta rotate a bit more on your left side. Show your armpits to the side of the pool. Breathing side is fine, other side is really bad.
Rule 6: Focus on form all swim every swim
Not one of those 5 mentions technique lol all in the drills and skills although at Lionels age its hard to change.
What were the times shouted out for was that 75 yrds or 75 mtrs
I'd love to hear the thinking behind no cap during these swims?
My guess is that Lionel gets hot, but if he wants a true gauge, wearing the cap will do that (helps water movement over his ears too).
Hi Lionel, age grouper here preparing for my 2nd 70.3. Can you recommend a Jersey Mike's regimen that will help me break 6 hours?
Yards or metres? 😂 Leeeet’s goooooo!!!
How about the South African method? As Coach is a South African.
Do a dry land drills exist? Maybe, should try them on land before you could move them into the water…
Don’t have to swim with the best just make it close. Lange was 10 min down in Nice off t2. Can’t remember what he ran but it was between a 2:30-2:35 marathon. If you’re 5-7min down in t2 you got a chance bro! “I swam 6801 today.”
Heck I’d you’re 10 min down in t2 I’d be cheering you on for sure. I’d put some money on that.
CZcams Effortless Swimming and make sure technique is correct , then drills to drive the technique
What about Tower 21? Whose plan is he following Bear or Tower?
Technique just missed the cut i guess
Technique - such as … let
Me guess. Higher elbows, more roll, tighter kick … 😂
Coffee Mug Close Up: "These are the tears of my swimmers"
I may not be the best swim coach, but i am a swimmer with some experience with that style of training. having a high base speed all the time and being efficient is important to keep the movement pattern. And there is no better test of efficiency of technique than a long practice, but you ( Lionel) seem to have enough cardiovascular strain in your training alreddy. I think you would be better of with less milage, if that means higher base speed throughout the practice. Maybe bring that up with your coach and or get an secound opinion if i made sense.
Clearly, you didn’t watch what the coach had to say at the end of the video
Well, never heard of something called "specificity"... #6 ou #1 on the list should be: triathlon = open water swimming!
Agree, never gonna get better at swimming open water by swimming in the pool. Not high level, at least
high intensity everyday sounds like a recipe for burnout and injury though?
It's hard top get injured when swimming. For Burnout those guys are strong. Before they burnout they would need some crazy crazy mileage.
I don't think he means going high intensity every day all the time. I think he is saying add that to the rest of the work out to maintain the vo max :)
Swimming is still 80/20 but just reversed
luv it- agree you need to tow the rope before you comment :)
Just remember Lionel, hard work beats talent if talent doesn’t work hard. You got this, yup yup yup!
4:11 why is having a coach on deck important and required for your swimming, but not required for other aspects of your training??
Because the number one key component of swimming is technique.
Do you have to drive that much every day?
Rule no 6. to swim good in open water you have to! train in open water. THE MISSING PIECE.
Any idea what song is at the 4:14 mark? Love it.
Hypersonic from ooyy & Dylan sitts
Go bears!!!
that coach is 💯
That non talented person should get a proper coach. Why swim hard if you cannot even swim slow?? How about someone that can work with you looking at your whole system/ coordination instead of battling the water km after km. I do not understand this choice of training. Luckily it will be changed soon, since change in approach is the only constant factor. Sorry but next to the fact that I am a huge fan of LS I also have the opinion he trains far from optimal.
In all fields? Or just swimming?
Coach has to be proven right first.
But legit answer to Lionel's initial question.
I think Feel fast is extremely valuable advice. There is to much content about technique on CZcams, and people believe that mastering technique will make you better swimmer, but it’s not the perfect technique that drives speed, it’s feeling the water, finding the most efficient way to move through it. In my opinion you need to learn your body to feel flow of the water around you and to start to dance in the right rythm.
If you’re a technicly weak swimmer, swimming 6.5k with 5k absolute shite technique - all you do is engraining the bad patterns even more. Facts. Look at what Magnus did ramping up.
Flat, wide left arm recovery has not changed.
He sounds like Jay Cuttler
USMS level 3 coach enters the chat 🤐🫠🤦♂️🏊♂️
He's a great swim coach. But does he take into account the other training Lionel is doing. Fatigue is a thing.
Only swam 2000 today, so I just say hi
I spy Alice Alberts in the frame
🙂 (not allowed to say a word)
Lionel, Dude, Bro, Come On Man. You're driving along with a sunny morning, no snow on the ground outside your minivan & you got gloves on..? Dude, you're Canadian , that's not Canadian. Get out there in your singlet & track shorts running in between the snow drifts up at the summit of Mt. Lemmon , toque and no gloves. Hard core, just like all this Volume. #CanadianBrawler
M
I did 1000 this morning....crap. Not enough. Need to work on that.
not crap
I'm still hoping Lionel will call me to help him with his stroke technique. I know I can help if given a chance :D
And yes, I can pull off 6.8K yards a day. Did it every day in college, I can do it again if I had 2 hours to swim :)
Let’s hear it … technique tips by the Ferrell (ex college swimmer) …. 😂
@@justinmarkjustinSure, just get me some decent underwater footage and I'll give him some great stuff to improve on. No charge. Just want the opportunity.
comment deleted...
3100 yards once a week for me is good. I have a life
6800 meters is 4.23 miles

FIRST!
Damn you
The problem with goals - they become the thing you talk about instead of the thing you do ~ Cherry Darling ( Planet Terror ).
I know I want to take swim tips from a dude that would get swam over by 10-12 year old..!!
If you’re looking for swim advice go to a swim coach…!! Someone with a proven track record of helping athletes achieve high end goals..!!
This dude has NO CLUE..!!
6.5k? roookie numbers. im swimming 9k a day
u o pro swimmer i quess
Maybe for a swimmer, but not for a Triathlete.
Sounds like what the Idens were trying to tell you XD
* comment deleted * :D
As my coach says (he is ex world champion Tri in Juniors, etc) : You must swim 6-7.000m 9-12 times/week for some results
54km minimum swiming a week? Naaaaah, can't be real
@@XavierHipolito yeah that's a bit OTT but some LD swimmers crush those numbers and can even hit 100km on a big week 😆
@@swimgood3873 massive
Poor lionel. Right arm catch is still ………….yikes. But lionels effort is soooo impessive, Keep kicking ass
Technique, technique, technique, technique, technique???????? NO, no, no. Volume, to imprint poor technique.
Yes, technique is everything, you must swim correctly and drills can help . CZcams Effortless Swimming
Let’s hear your technique tips ??
The guy literally says he’s swimming more and always wants a coach on deck. So maybe he’s saying he’s doing more sessions and someone is watching his technique constantly. In your logic he’d be better off doing one technique session per week and nothing else 😂
.
this video is proof the average coach still doesn't understand triathlon at all.... CNS, basic principles of loading, technique required for triathlon, etc...
And you go what for a 1000 free???
🫢
Who?
About 2 minutes into the video, the question is asked “ how do you make a great swimmer”
The short answer is
Cristiano Ronaldo, many will agree that he was not born with great talent however, with hard work, he achieved greatness.
Bruh 6,500/day or GTFO. Technically this is nineteen words more than I'm allowed to comment.
Please use better music.
That horrible
