Short & steady on legs after Sundays run, all feeling ok ! #triathlonswimsquad
Another one of our athletes realising the benefits of slowing their swim stroke down to increase their pace. “Blows my mind when I go slower and take less strokes how much faster I am.” #swimmingtechnique #triathlonswimsquad #eureka #distanceperstroke #swimming
Power, propulsion … and pace! A session where we focused on distance per stroke for the whole hour. Who knew slowing the stroke rate a little and making each stroke more powerful and more effective would be a fast way to swim?! I lost count of the number of personal best 100m times we had in the pool tonight. So strong, so smooth, so fast. #swimming #technique #swimmingtechnique #triathlon #triathlonswimsquad

I had a 1-1 session with one of our Swim Squad swimmers this week. I can’t over-emphasise the progress this swimmer has made in 12 months. Mel was one of our most improved swimmers in 2023. If progress continues, I think she’ll be in the running for most improved of 2024 too! With a long distance swim and an Ironman triathlon coming up this year, the emphasis was on efficiency, fluidity, moving well without creating high fatigue. Posture, length of stroke, improved catch and stroke rhythm were all covered during our session. I’m looking forward to following Mel’s progress this year! #swimming #triathlonswimming #swimtechnique #ironmantri #triathlonswimsquad #challengeroth
Last swim squad session tomorrow in 50m, open water is beckoning ! #triathlonswimsquad

In case I didn’t make it to the pool tomorrow, I thought I’d do my birthday swim set today. The birthday swim started out as my age x 100m. So when I started these I was maybe 35. Now, as the number of candles on the cake increase, these sets are a little more challenging! Last year, I changed it a bit and did 50 x 50m off 50s. So less volume, but quite intense! This year, I thought I’d stay with the 50s theme - but do 100 of them! A 100m cool down at the end brings the total to 5,100m - a 100m for every year. The 50s were off 1 minute, with most of them coming in on 40s (1.21 average for the session). For counting, sanity and hydrating purposes (the pool was 32 degrees!), I took a short break after each 10 x 50m. This was an extra 30s for the first 5 blocks of 10 x 50m, and then 60s for the next five blocks. If I make it to the pool tomorrow, another birthday set might be on the cards. Watch this space! 😀 #swimming #birthdayswim #adayearly #triathlonswimsquad
▪️ Revelation Number 3 Many of us have races in June, July, August. Months and months away. We start off our training with super high motivation, the race looms large in our minds. However, as the weeks progress, the reality of training in a garage or a shed, or running in the rain and cold, hits home. We’re busy. We get a bit fed up. Training doesn’t seem that important. Adjust your lens a little and focus on some short term targets – local running races, gains in power on the bike, improving your 100m or 400m time in the pool. Also, remember, that this slump in motivation is temporary. It will get lighter. You will be able to ride outside. Keep your training going, motivation might be low right now, but it won’t be in Spring and Summer. Remember, you don’t win prizes in July if you only start training in May when the sun is out and the flowers are blooming. - - - - - Just one of the lessons that we’ve learned on our journey so far! More lessons and observations in the article! https://triathlonswimsquad.com/2024/01/04/seven-things-weve-discovered-but-probably-already-knew/ 📸 @saragarstecka #triathlon #swimbikerun #triathlontraining #triathloncoaching #triathlonswimsquad
Today, I had the pleasure of moving one of my athletes out of my ‘Paused’ folder in Training Peaks - to my ‘Ironman Group’ folder. Last week I received a picture and a message. The picture was a beer. The message underneath … “So, ready to go again?” This athlete is going for his third consecutive Ironman Wales. We’ve worked together since the beginning. The first one he completed. The second he took more than an hour off his finish time. This time … This is a busy athlete, with demanding job and family, who seems to enjoy the challenge of getting really unfit over Winter and then building back up to strong ‘Iron-fitness’ in the Spring and Summer. So yes, ready to go again. Let’s do it! #IronmanWales #Ironmantri #triathlon #triathloncoaching #swimbikerun #manchestermarathon #triathlonswimsquad
Swim Squad Swim Caps Around The World! Today, we see Jane - one of our original Swim Squad swimmers - proudly showing off one of our original Swim Squad swim caps in … Napier, New Zealand. This was shortly before an open water (skins) swim around a beautiful marked course. Yes, Jane! Where in the world have you and your Swim Squad swim cap been spotted? #swimming #swimsquad #triathlonswimsquad #swimmingcommunity #openwaterswimming
We worked on stroke timing with one of our groups in yesterday’s technique session. 👉 Keeping leading arm extended 👉 Not rushing into the pull 👉 ‘Slow at the front, fast at the back’ Amongst other things, we used ‘three quarter catch up’ to think about our stroke rhythm and timing. A nice technique session.. #swimming #swimtechnique #swimsquad #triathlonswimsquad #triathlon
As well as an individualised training programme, training review, session feedback, general advice and guidance, our coached athletes (and customised training plan athletes) are also receiving a weekly email to support their training and development. This email drops every Tuesday lunchtime. The weekly emails are written and designed to support athletes on their coaching journey, and to help them get the most from their training programme. In the last couple of weeks we’ve discussed: ✅ How to integrate training with others - and group training sessions - into your personalised training programme. ✅ How to get the best out of your training, including some of the mindset issues we often face. Over the next few weeks we’re going to explore … 🔜 Using different intensities within the training programme. 🔜 More on mindset, particularly if things aren’t going quite as you expect in training and racing. 🔜 Using run races, particularly a marathon, in the early part of the season 🔜 Answers to some recent and some common athlete questions. There will be plenty more of these types of emails over the coming season. If you are one of our coached athletes, look out for these! #triathloncoaching #triathlontraining #triathlon #swimbikerun #coaching #triathlonswimsquad

Last night’s Swim Squad sessions recapped some of the work we’ve been doing recently. 👉 Posture & body position 👉 Breathing 👉 Reach & rotation 👉 Stroke timing We also worked super hard! More fast times ‘without trying’ from our swimmers.

“A bit of a mad one this mate but do you think I could run a marathon this Sunday? I obviously haven't trained specifically for it but do you think the stuff I have done would be sufficient to get me through it? Feel free to give me a slap and say "don't be stupid"…” I love these type of messages! Using the fitness this athlete gained this year to race the Ibiza Middle Distance (70.3) Triathlon to run an end of season marathon? Sure, why not? Couple of extra things making today’s performance even more special. 👉 This athlete’s longest run was 13.1 miles (triathlon race day). 👉 It’s been two weeks since his main race of the year (Ibiza). 👉 He had a half marathon best time of 1.50 (before starting working with me in April this year) 👉 It was his first ever marathon. 👉 He only decided to run on Thursday. Today, he ran the marathon in a superb 3.40. This included a new half marathon PB (1.47) along the way! 👏👏👏 This run was part of 26 in 26 - 26 marathons in 26 weeks - raising money for charity. https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/jackproject2626 #triathlonswimsquad #triathlontraining #marathon #triathloncoaching

A bit of everything in that session! ✅ Some longer endurance efforts. ✅ Some technique work. ✅ Some fast efforts. ✅ Some strength work. You can do a lot of work in a two hour session! Super swimming again from everybody. See you all next Sunday! There are a couple of spaces left if you would like to join us for our Sunday sessions. Message me to get involved. #swimming #swimsquad #triathlonswimsquad #swimcoaching #triathloncoaching #swimtechnique
Two messages from two athletes last night. No words, just pictures. The pictures? Confirmation of their entry to Ironman Barcelona 2024. Amazing. Amazing to think that neither of these athletes had completed a triathlon when we met this time last year. They’re in for a treat! This time next year they’ll be very different athletes. Let’s do this! #ironmantri #triathlon #swimbikerun #triathlonswimsquad #triathloncoaching #triathloncoach

A day to slow down, relax and enjoy the delights of Lanzarote #worldmentalhealthday #triathlonswimsquad
In our group technique session tonight, we focused on the catch. Like the picture here, we were trying to get our elbow above the imaginary line that runs straight from our shoulder to our fingertips. If we get the elbow above the line, then we have a ‘high elbow catch’ - if we don’t then we have a ‘dropped elbow’ and we will miss out on propulsion and speed. Not as easy as it sounds though! Good work from our technique group tonight. #swimtechnique #swimsquad #swimcoaching #triathloncoaching #triathlonswimsquad
How good were the swimmers in those sessions? Announcing the warm up / first set of 5 x 200m descending pace and the groans of swimmers were audible! 🤣 Some 25s followed, alternating distance per stroke 25s with strong pace 25s. Then, onto the spicy stuff! VO2 Max 75s. High effort, decent rest. Holding form under ever increasing fatigue. Some 200m PBs and some 75m PBs. Awesome! These Swim Squad sessions (8-9pm & 9-10pm) were preceded by a technique session where we focused on the catch and setting up our stroke for a powerful pull. Some nice high elbows under the water as a result. All in all, 50 swimmers all looking great! #swimming #swimsquad #triathlonswimsquad #triathlontraining #fastswimming #bigprogress #swimcoaching #triathloncoaching
Always thinking about my catch when swimming … even after all these years! How about you? Keeping the elbow high, engaging the back muscles and using the hand and forearm as one big paddle. #swimtechnique #swimming #swimcoaching #triathlonswimsquad
Well how about this? A swimmer literally on the other side of the world being inspired by our Swim Squad – and swimming ‘brave’ as a result! “In today’s benchmark test, I remembered a post you did recently where you talked about a swimmer who had progressed dramatically over a short period of time due to him being “brave” when doing the hard sets (https://triathlonswimsquad.com/2023/08/21/swim-success-story-how-can-i-get-faster/) Today I decided to be “brave” and trust in myself and my ability to hold the pace. I was super happy with the result and proved to myself that I can still do the harder stuff.” This message was from an athlete who is following a long distance swim training plan we designed specifically for her. Being brave and deciding to “trust in myself and my ability to hold the pace”. This is excellent. I have written before about the need for many of us to push ourselves more than we currently do in the water. In the plan, we are looking to develop her swim – both from a strength and speed perspective – as well as her ability to swim long distances. Being brave will definitely help! From my perspective, this swimmer is doing really well. ✅ Completing the sessions ✅ Changing her pace ✅ Pushing hard when necessary Consistent ✅ Enjoying her swimming What does this swimmer think of the plan and the progress she is making? “I am enjoying the sessions, and the accountability is certainly working, as there’s been a few times when I’ve not felt like going but know you’ll be looking for my completed session!” Awesome! #swimming #swimmers #trainingplan #swimcoaching #beingbrave #triathlonswimsquad
Another busy week of swimming! 👉 We had an incredible 84 swimmers pushing themselves and loving their swimming this week. 👉 We had more than 50 swimmers sign up for some Sunday sessions in the 50m pool (which begin next week) Amazing. I appreciate every single swimmer who comes to our sessions - you make it what it is! 😍 #swimming #swimsquad #busypool #triathlon #ironmantri #triathletes #swimmers #triathlonswimsquad #swimtechnique
Great morning at 26th annual Ivan Percival 1 mile dock swim #triathlonswimsquad
Ivan Percival Swim today #triathlonswimsquad
His first 3.8k swim was last week. This week he completes Ironman Copenhagen!! I had a 1-1 with Barry early in the season prior to the ROC Triathlon. Following that successful session (and subsequent race), he started coming to our open water group sessions. In those group sessions, swimming with other triathletes, a seed was planted and began to take root. “Do you think I could do an Ironman this year? Do you think I could do Ironman Copenhagen?” Yes! “Bryan - thanks for your knowledge. I only ever learnt technique with swimming this year and I only ever done my first 2.4 mile swim last week in Coniston! I got 1.35 and I was over the moon with that - so a week later getting 1.24 in an Ironman swim, beating my PB by 11 minutes … I wouldn’t have been able to do this without your knowledge. I appreciate it - thanks Bry!” He completed the 3.8k swim in 1.24, and finished the race in a brilliant 11.58. How amazing is that?! Delighted for him. #triathlon #ironmantri #ironmancopenhagen #triathlonswimsquad #swimcoaching #triathloncoach

Not quite sure what happened at swim squad last night, another great, well structured session with @bryan__riley working his coaching magic. We warmed up & eased into a few sets to maintain best pace - 8 seconds knocked of my regular 100m pace consistently through the sets ! #triathlonswimsquad
Congratulations Bukit Kiara Sharks 🦈 , the defending champions, for winning the 2nd MySwim Coaching Inter-squad Meet! Laser-focus on winning, you understood the strengths of your squad mates and strategised well for the win! 🏆 SA Bike Jellyfish 🪼 came second.

Amazing swim squad session tonight. Fast 100s, 75s, 50s & 25s with an air of excitement for those team members doing Ironman Bolton this weekend. #triathlonswimsquad #ironmantraining

The best thing about open water swim events? It’s being there with your swim mates 🥰 Looking out for our last 8km swimmers was a funny, “is it a bird, is it a plane” moment… 😉 “No, it’s Si Foo @ashe_ek !” He made it! 🥳💪🏽 Langkawi Swimming Festival 11.6.2023 _________ #langkawiswimmingfestival2023 #myswimfam #myswimcoaching #TeamFinis #AdultsSwimSquad #TriathlonSwimSquad #OpenWaterSwimming #MalaysiaOpenWaterSwimming

What a performance! Two great performances actually. Swim Squad swimmer and coached athlete, Dani, delivered a super performance in her first ever Ironman at Hamburg yesterday. 12 hours and 16 minutes! That’s quite a debut. Here’s a set of numbers for you … 🏊♀️ 1.19 (3.8k) 🚴♀️ 6.17 (180k) 🏃♀️ 4.14 (42k) Brilliant, Dani, brilliant! Matt, one of our regular Monday evening Swim Squad swimmers, also had a great performance, smashing his previous Ironman personal best and finishing in 12 hours and 7 minutes. Amazing. More impressive numbers … 🏊♂️ 1.07 (3.8k) 🚴♂️ 6.11 (180k) 🏃🏻 4.26 (42k) Both really great performances and reflect the work they’ve put in and the commitment they’ve shown over many months. Well done to you both - we’re all super proud and delighted for you. . . . #swimbikerun #tricoaching #triathlon #ironmantri #coaching #triathloncoaching #triathlete #ironmantriathlon #trilife #triathlonlife #triathlonmotivation #triathlontraining #tritraining #ironmantraining #fitnesslife #trilife #TriathlonSwimSquad #trainhardraceeasy #openwaterswimming #triathloncoach #coaching
More great results (so far) today! The Epic Events Ullswater Swim saw a few of our athletes swimming today. Jo continued her impressive recent results with her first sub-60 3.8k swim (57 minutes) - coming in 9th overall and 5th female. Impressive! Jon swam his furthest ever open water swim (3.8k), swimming smooth and feeling great, ahead of the big one (IMUK) in a few weeks time. What a confidence booster! Nadine has a brilliant 3.8k swim - 1.19 - knocking chunks off her previous best time for this distance! It also saw some swimmers who’ve come to our open water swim sessions and / or an open water swim 1-1 take part too. After developing her open water confidence over recent weeks, Donna finished the 1 mile swim (her first open water swim event) opening the doors to many more exciting swim & triathlon adventures! Similarly, Vicky had a storming 1 mile swim, really showing strong swim pace and having a wonderful time in the process. An amazing day for our swimmers! . . . . #triathlonswimsquad #swimsquad #swimcoaching #swimming #openwaterswimming #triathlonswimming #swimcoach #swimmingcoach #triathloncoach #triathloncoaching #ironmantri #ironmantriathlon #triathlontraining #swimtraining #trilife #triathlon #training #mastersswimming
The first 50m pool session of the month this morning. Both the one hour and two hour sessions focused on a bit of technique - long stroke, good propulsion - before progressing to some building pace intervals. The two hour swimmers then switched gears and focused on some longer distance reps, holding great technique under increasing fatigue. These swimmers covered between 4,000m and 5,000m during the session. Great work! If you’d like to get involved and swim in this fantastic pool, we have another two sessions this month - next week (11th) and the week after (18th). Message me to book a session.
