     When do we officially begin swim training?

    I believe you can do some swimming now and RnP created a document for that if you want to swim. If it was me I would wait till the end of the OS.

    Last year was my first year in the Haus and did not swim until later and I was actually faster in my HIM swim than when I swam all winter.

    Unless you really need to get the basics down it has a very low ROI>

    Good luck



     

  •  I need basics and am starting tomorrow with the swim hack.  Just wondering the "official" date.  I have put the basics off as long as I could.  But now i need to get going.

  • Usually at the end of the OS is when people start back up. So when ever your OS ends.

     

    Good Luck

  • Start with the hack. Formal swim training starts with your IM plan, somewhere in March...

  • I have not been in the pool for two year, swan 1:31 in Lake Placid in 2004 and I will not start swimming for a couple months.  I guess I am going all in and chugging the cool aid.

    Where would I find the swim hack?  I do need to start reading up as my swimming technique sucks.

    Check week 3 or 4 of the training plan page.  upper right corner.  It's a .pdf.  

  • Paul,
    I've got some good swim coach contacts, as I've worked with plenty of them through my years.
    Email me at salexand652@gmail.com to let me know where you're near, if you're interested.

    Thanks Paul.  Apparently too much vodka in my kool aid, did I spell it right this time.  The Swim hack was in weeks 1 through 4. I was definitely avoiding it then as I had my hands full with the bike.
