On race day, as the swimming event will immediately demand a lot of energy due to a number of factors :

  • Stress due to departure,
  • Thermal shock,
  • The embarrassment and influence of the other participants,
  • Managing effort and breathing in a race environment.

>>> Triathlon
The triathlon consists of a sequence of three sporting activities: swimming, cycling and running.
The sequence is performed without external assistance and without stopping the stopwatch during the change of discipline (transition).
The Olympic Distance, Long Distance, Sprint Distance and Mixed Relay triathlons are recognised as high-level disciplines.
Triathlon has been an Olympic discipline since the Sydney Olympic Games (2000).
>>> Distance M
Choice of reference for the women's and men's individual Olympic distances :
  • 1,5 km swimming
  • 40 km cycling
  • 10 km running
Stacks Image 5131
The women's and men's individual events are run over Distance M (the benchmark for the Olympic distance), which consists of a 1.5km swim, 40km cycle and 10km run.

It's quite difficult to have an analysis of your swimming technique without the assessment of a swimming coach. A swimming coach can accurately identify your technical problems and help you to solve them.

Good swimming technique isn't enough; it's just as important to get your muscles used to the effort, to use your propulsive motor parts
(arms/legs) correctly during variations in intensity and to promote the best possible glide.

In swimming, effort management is associated with a dynamic positioning of the body in the water aimed at maximising the propulsive capacities of the motor parts while minimising resistance to forward movement. In principle, the more you glide through the water, the less effort you need to make to cover a distance.

Improve your swimming performance
- - -

Swimming performance is made up of several parts:

  • Swimming technique,
  • Breathing management,
  • The capacity of the muscle groups involved to produce the propulsive effort

To swim the full distance of the triathlon crawl event, you must :

  • Adapting your breathing rate to the effort involved
  • Control your alignment and positioning for better glide
  • Managing effort and muscle relaxation

Gliding in swimming is therefore the result of a swimming technique that allows you to optimise the positioning of your body in the water while managing propulsive effort combined with breathing over a given distance.

Swimming coaching sessions for triathlon and aquathlon
- - -

Each coaching session lasts between 60 and 90 minutes, or even longer depending on your race objectives.

Sessions can be individual or semi-private (2 to 4 people). The number of people per session is limited to ensure the best possible support.

My role as a swimming coach

Supporting you to « optimise yourself »

- 1 -

An analysis of your condition to assess the following points:

  • Swimming technique,
  • Breathing control,
  • Ability to make an effort over a distance,
  • Level of gliding.

- 2 -

A personal session plan to work on the points to be covered:

  • Technical problems: giving you benchmarks for execution as well as instructions for correcting them.

  • Adapt a specific, personalised programme and support you to boost your performance.

  • Define personalised training plans to prepare you as well as possible for the swimming part of your triathlon or aquathlon race.
