Saturday Swim Session – Sutton’s Ironman RPG B

Using a pull buoy can be like a double-edged sword; overreliance on it can make swimmers lazy, impacting their balance in the water and impacting their ability to kick. However, inclusion in a training plan occasionally can be of benefit. Rehearsal of your Ironman Race Pace or as Brett Sutton calls Race Pace Groove (RPG) is essential for a solid Ironman Swim and allows you to gauge your progress. This session is good for triathletes, especially those preparing for an Ironman, as well as open-water swimmers.

Saturday Swim Session – More KPS

Kick Pull Swim (KPS) was often used regularly by my swim coach, Duncan Laing in the mid-1990s. I continue that tradition because it generates success by challenging different aspects of your stroke. This session is good for triathletes, as well as open-water swimmers.

Saturday Swim Session: Debs’ Triple 3’s

Breaking longer swims up into segments is a great way to add speed, whilst building stamina or endurance into a workout. This session was described to me by Debs Lynch a few years ago whilst she was in the New Zealand High Performance Triathlon Squad, as one of her favourites. This session is good for triathletes, as well as open water swimmers.
