We’ve talked about the most basic of basic swim tips- how to select and put on your swim cap- but what about getting in the water and starting to move?

But it doesn’t have to be! Things can go wrong when you’re racing, so it’s important to practice your emergency procedures. It’s particularly important when you’re swimming for obvious reasons- you’re in water, after all, and can’t just pull over to the side of the road. But it’s also important because how you handle adversity … Continue reading It’s a Disaster!

Tips for Remembering Swim Workouts at the Pool

January 25, 2017January 24, 2017Leave a comment

Memory is not my strong suit. My short term memory in particular is atrocious. Ask anyone who’s had to listen to me tell them the same story for the third time. When it comes to remembering my swim workouts, some days are better than others. If it’s a simple pyramid workout, or a few sets … Continue reading Tips for Remembering Swim Workouts at the Pool

SUPERFROG Race Recap: Part 2

September 28, 2016October 19, 2016Leave a comment

Swim I was still really nervous from my practice swim, but I was also really determined. Chatting with others in the start corral helped a lot- they were as nervous as I was, and we all worked up a bit of a “screw it, let’s go!” attitude. I danced it out a bit to the … Continue reading SUPERFROG Race Recap: Part 2

October 2, 2015October 19, 20164 Comments

On Tuesday I went out for a quick open water swim in my local bay. The tide was so low, it ended up being more like an open-water wade.
