Bonus Videos For #1 Skill That Transformed My Triathlon Swim

Watch me swim!

Hello Triple Threat Life members!

Thanks for accessing the bonus video content for #1 Skill That Transformed My Triathlon Swim. If you need to reference the original post, click here.

Now keep in mind that I’m not a professional swimmer, so my form isn’t perfection. But I like to think it’s pretty darn good for a triathlete!

Anyways, the purpose of these videos is to illustrate the points made in the post about how breath timing and coordinate with pacing.

In this first video clip, I demonstrate bilateral breathing at easy or Ironman pace.

The sequence I use is one breath every third stroke. This is what it looks like (breathe, 1 stroke, 2 stroke, breathe on 3 stroke. 1 stroke, 2 stroke, breathe on 3 stroke.)

NOTE: If you breathe on an even interval like 2 or 4, you will continue breathing to one side. But if you breathe on an odd interval, like I’m doing here with a 3, then you will naturally switch sides and utilize bilateral breathing.
