Swim Training for a triatholon?

the best thing you can do is train...important things in a five hundred are endurance(lol)...being an efficient swimmer which means good flip turns...streamline...and stroke mechanics...start out the race faster than you think you can...some people sprint the end, but that isn't the best way, and i am not saying sprint the beggining just go faster than you think you can

You can get some great videos/dvds from USA Swimming or Swimming World magazine's website.  My two personal favorites (as a swim coach) are the GoSwim series and the "Eddie Reese on ..." series.  I have included links below.

I know an excellent trainer in Vancouver.  No wait, I just remembered he drowned last year trying to save an air mattress at the shallow end of the pool. I'm really Sorry.

If she is on a team and not improving stroke during practice look at joining a different team with different coaching attitudes. If her practice is just dozens of kids swimming laps with no feedback she is being short changed. If the YMCA is not an option and she really needs the private lessons talk to her coaches and see if they will help out. Sorry I don't have specifics for your area, but try USA swimming for other options.\nGood luck

you need to break yourself back in slowly trust me lol.....2 years out it was painful....but you just need to work your way up and you need the endurance so like you need to do a lot of short distance sets at a fast past time and what not....I don't swim distance they tried it but yeah......lol

If you do a search, you can probably learn the techniques, but without any experience to exercise your muscles, it'd be like learning to ride a motorcycle on a tricycle. Get in the shallow end of the pool and try it out. Watch other people, or get lessons.

James E. Counsilman was the head swim coach for the 1964 Tokyo Olympics and his book "The Science of Swimming" discussed training of various world class swimmers from this time period.\n\nI believe the successful training programs of this time emphasized long slow distance and fartleks .... moderate paced activity with intervals of speed work. \n\nBest wishes !

When teaching kids, don't try to teach them the whole swim process at one time. Concentrate on two or three parts of the stroke per lesson. I usually work on different parts of the body. The head position, arm/stroke, and kick. This way the students don't get overwhelmed. Be patient.

The Red Cross offers several courses for swim coaches and learn to swim classes. The most informative to teach swimming would be the WSI (water safety instructor) class. In this class you will learn tips on how to teach the basic swim strokes.

You need 'in water' Tai Chi.... Badly, my friend.\nOr even plain Tai Chi.\nThen, work your way up to gentle swimming.\nThink of the pool as your best friend!\nof course, professional advice is best.

Well on the varsity swim team, in a two hour practice we swim round 6000-7000 yards in 2 hours.\nSets will vary, but usually we will do a long set (consisting of 1000 yards, etc. 10x100 on let's say...1:30. \nThen we'll do a shorter set, say 8x75's on 1:30.\nThen a long one, 3x500 on...7 min.\nThen @ the end of practice (last 15 minutes or so) we might play a fierce game of water polo!!!!!!!!!!!!
