You will master the keys to front crawl/Freestyle swimming for your next Triathlon swim. I will de-mystify swimming technique so you will swim easier in the water. You will feel more confident and strong in the water.
Weeks 1 to 4 are pool based sessions and weeks 5 to 8 have open water session options.
This plan is ideal for race distances up to IRONMAN® 70.3. For distances over 1900m see the advanced plan. You must be able to swim 400m front crawl to be able to start this plan.
