HOW TO SMASH YOUR SWIM PB

PLAN YOUR SWIM

Use course maps, google map images and practice swims, either on the course or simulations, to practise your perfect race swim, including starts, turns and exits.

SWIM ON THE COURSE

Swim key sections of the course or walk the shore line, looking at the start, turns and exit. Identify visual landmarks to sight on, taking pictures to aid visualisation.

PRACTISE T1

Obvious, yes, but too few actually do it! Practise, practise and practise again in training... and don’t forget to fully dry your wetsuit for race day!
