How This Plan Matches the California Full Distance Triathlon
๐ŸŠโ€โ™‚๏ธ Swim Prep for River Currents
The American and Sacramento River swim demands confidence in open water and downstream current management. Our plan builds endurance and form with video-guided swim drills and progressive interval sessions tailored to race conditions.
