Mixing in some stroke work today for the TRI Swim Club athletes.
I like to write stroke work into deload weeks. It gives your muscles a break from the same freestyle movements while still letting you get in solid conditioning.
Deloads don’t always have to be easy swimming. Backing off the specific work doesn’t mean backing off entirely. Swapping the stimulus does the same job, and it keeps the week from feeling like a slog.
Variation keeps it interesting, and it lets your body adapt in new ways.

Comment “free” and I’ll send you my Starter Pack workouts so you can try my training yourself.
One arm swimming is one of the best drills for a stronger, more connected stroke.
Here’s what I love about it. With only one arm working, the only way to rotate evenly to both sides is to engage your core. It exposes exactly where your connection breaks down and forces you to fix it.
Do it right and every rep is intentional. Set up your catch. Pull straight through. Get everything you can out of each stroke instead of rushing to the next one.
One arm. Full focus. Better stroke.

Most triathletes copy a pool swimmer’s plan. But a distance swimmer grinds 80,000 meters a week because the pool is their only engine. You already build a massive aerobic engine on the bike and the run. When you grind easy laps to “build base,” you’re paying for something you already own.
Cut the junk yardage and spend what’s left where it counts. Fewer meters. Harder meters. Shaped like your race.
My pros race full distance on about 15,000 meters a week. Less than a typical age-group plan prescribes. And they race faster for it.
Full breakdown is on the blog. Link in bio.

Comment “sprint” for free access to my workouts.
Dead starts are one of the most underrated tools for triathletes.
Starting from a floating position and immediately sprinting forces you to generate speed without a push-off. This replicates the kind of speed you need in a chaotic triathlon start, which often begins from that same floating position.
Speed is one of the first things you lose when you stop training it, yet most triathletes rarely practice true sprinting.
Meanwhile, the first 200 to 400m of a triathlon swim can determine your entire day.
Your ability to accelerate quickly can determine which pack you make, who you’re able to draft, and ultimately how hard the rest of the swim feels.
Practice getting fast and you’ll be fast on race day. 🏊♂️

Confidence on race day is not something you find at the start line. You build it in the weeks before.
Every session you show up for. Every drill you repeat until it feels natural. Every set that had a purpose. That work adds up, and it shows up when it counts.

Check the workout. Know the goal. Get to work.
Structured training isn’t about swimming more. It’s about swimming with purpose.
Every workout is built around a specific goal, with Coach’s Notes to guide you through the session and direct in-app messaging when you need your coach.
No guessing. No wasted sessions. Just a clear plan and the work to get better.
One workout at a time. 🏊♀️

A great day for Olive at Ironman Ottawa. It’s a special feeling to perform when it counts and reach your goal.
Olivia had a personal best this past weekend, dropping over 70 MINUTES. Her hard work has paid off, and she also met her goal on the swim going 1 hour 10 minutes, and without a wetsuit.
The best part of what we do is seeing the hard work turn into real results.

Your swim isn’t powered by your arms. It’s powered by your hips.
Hip drive keeps your core connected and puts you on your side instead of flat. Less drag. More reach. Every stroke goes further.
This drill helps you feel it. One fin, one paddle, opposite sides.
The fin adds resistance to your kick so you have to engage the hip to rotate. The paddle adds resistance to the opposite hand so you learn to anchor your catch and pull through that same hip drive. Top and bottom, working together.
Slow it down. Feel the connection. Then build from there.
Real coaching. No AI.
