combining your drilling and swimming<\/a><\/strong> into the same sets, rather than performing them separately.\u00a0You\u2019ll do some drilling, then you\u2019ll do some drilling, then repeat.\u00a0<\/p>The reason this is so effective is that it gives you the opportunity to take what you learn in the drill and immediately apply it to your swimming.\u00a0<\/p>
That\u2019s the step most triathletes miss.\u00a0They assume the drill will transfer to the swim, but you have to consistently practice both at the same time to make that happen.<\/p>
This process is a lot more effective if you regularly alternate between drilling and swimming, as often as possible.\u00a0Rather than performing all your drilling and then all your swimming, switch back and forth between the two.\u00a0 <\/p>
Doing so ensures that you get more practice taking what you\u2019ve learned during the drill and executing great skills while swimming freestyle.<\/p>
Here are two very simple examples to illustrate the difference between the two approaches.\u00a0Both sets are focusing on improving head position and breathing.<\/p>
