Do you have any recommendations of a Bio in JHB that works specifically with triathlon athletes? I am based in the East Rand.

This is great! Will take it on board this week and on Sunday. It's my first Midmar. Have to do it within 40mins. Hopefully closer to 35 - 38 mins

This video could have been 3 mins long

too much talking

Erm how do you go to the toilet if you eat ?

2024 Note ! : Swimmers often suffers from shoulder Pain. Swimmers commonly rotate in shoulder all the time, 100.000 times and more a month. (but breast...) It is'nt necessary rotating at all for creating and improving abilities and strenght and performance even for quickest swimming. Rotating in shoulder is necessary while swimming freestyle, dolphin, backstroke inside the water yes. SO why not stay out of water for specifically developing work, and work even better, improve even better, quicker, perform even way better after all in a short period of time. Why rotating all the time, if it is a clear danger for health, and huge danger for reaching your goals at all. Actually performance training to improve abilities inside water is a suboptimum method, the common method from 1950. Think about: What could - what should - and what not should ... Only insects, (spiders, ants, beetles) lizards, crocodiles, turtles moving body mass forward by rotating limbs - all humanoid land runners moving with a forward backward move, stretch and bend legs, back and forth, muscles long and short, no rotation like swimming. Same the fishes, same the birds. For humans even the arms never the past 300.000 years were commonly used to moving the body forward, since we're upright standing and moving. Human Evolution. Just hanging, climbing, gripping, catching, fine work. Safe your shoulder, get better in swimming, stay on dryand and improve even better. Step in the water to having fun and success. VITS - swim training evolution - Dryland Swim Performance - and Swim & Body Fitness, based on swimming Sport. Protect Water - Environment at all - Get better and quicker - even more to tell ... Coming soon ...

Please could you go through how you set up your shoulders/posture etc before you start these? Thanks

You are amazing! Congratulations!

Interesting. Thank you for sharing. Have you explored a Carnivore Diet and switch to fat-burning in your swims vs re-fuelling with carbs and sugar?

Kicking is a key part of maintaining rhythm and momentum as well as balance. This is how it enables you to reduce energy consumption.

How long do each of your feeds take?

Thanks so much for sharing this! Is there a reason you wouldn’t just wear a light wetsuit?

Well done!!

Surfing, surfing, and some more surfing.

Starts at 5.35 😅 actually this isnt a great video. All that talking at rhw beginning and then no explanation of the actual exercises

Very helpful. Thanks

🙂I learnt alot

Hello everyone!... I'm getting that feeding should be roughly every 30 to 40 min, a variety of foods, right? Anyone know the AMOUNTS of food that WON'T interrupt your swimming? Thx.

Very informative

What do you use the glycerine for?

She was my swimming teacher at chelsea prep school

Hi Sarah. I really appreciate that you share all the details of your training and preparation. I’m sure these come from hard lessons learned. I’m turning 50 next year and have started training in Feb. Initially 250m and now I’m up to comfortable 2.2km per session and shaved off 25% on pace. I’m lucky to live close to the sea (WC), so I do one sea swim per week, making sure I pay close attention to what I learn each time. My main issues have been chafing under my arms and discomfort in my R shoulder and R ankle. I’m making small adjustments to my stroke and doing some strength training. I’ve realised that swimming alone is not sufficient training. But right now, after 40min in the sea I’ve chafed so badly that I need to stop. So not cold, fitness or sea conditions but my own skin halting progress. I was hoping to find anti-chafe products on your website. I’ve tried several products from my pharmacy but nothing last more than 30min. Any ideas? Do male athletes wax their armpits?

Awesome, thank you for this story

Thank you, great tips

First and foremost - Great swim! I have to disagree with something, however; I do not think that layer of fat under the skin helps with keeping someone warm when it comes to swimming, let me explain. Fat can store temperature, which can help mitigate temperature changes, for instance its +40C outside fat will collect heat from outside or just a body temperature which is around +36C, and person starts swimming in 20C water, it will take longer for body to cool down inside the water due to thermal mass that fat stored just before getting into water (like any other material can do), I would assume it will take tens of minutes for water to work out that temperature stored in fat and since there is no walkout of the water, so no chance for fat to collect temperature, presumably outside is warmer than water. One could argue its harder to make a movement with extra fat which will result in producing more heat, but then I do not think of any benefits here, may as well just make more strokes. Other points like buoyancy and extra energy of course can be beneficial on such an event!

thank you !!!

Hello and thank you for your videos! Could you please tell me what you’re using to cover your face? Is it some sort of vaseline? cream? thank you!

thanks this is great info.

This video is useless. only telling us how to eat and drink while treading water 🤣🤣

Amazing. Something about long distance swims I find really impressive.

Please don't do raw eggs in your smoothies, you'll risk salmonella. Try white beans with your smoothie instead.

First of all I want to say awesome job! Second, I’m going to be an escort on the kayak for the first time next week. Any suggestions or pointers for me?

3:37 my girl is having a whole picnic out here lololol Great video :)

I can tread water anywhere??? This certainly changes things

Beautifull ! Congratulations !!

Amazing ! Hi Sarah, i found your channel again 8 Months later. I have swim in thé lake throught winter , i had to buy a suit to keep going , no pool but lake .once a week. Today i can swim 10K, did my 1st évent in May 7.5K in thé sea . Now i really look up for nutrition , cause i havent fed at all. Im now taking this seriously, .cause i ll try not to use a suit when water ll get cold. Thank you for sharing .its helping me and its Big motivation. 10K takes me 4h16 Aline..no food. Im gonna change that, greatings from france.Ghiskain

Thank you so much for these videos! I learned a lot! Coming from a triathlon / running background these tips are golden. I have a 12k ocean swim in Florida/ USA coming up this September so I’ll start incorporating all these gems in my training program! Keep up the outstanding videos and swims.

thanks or this Q and A.. in the swimming pool i try and swim without touching the wall also without lanes and other swimmers accross

Ive been following you and you a total inspiration to me... Can you give me some tips on treading without arms

can you still float while treading using your legs even when you exhale?

Saw you at Lilyf

Saw you at Lillyf

Such amazing and helpful content for OW swimmers. Thank you!

Did she say 19hrs?

great video, thanks so much ! is it possible can talk about swim form different or in details swim form you suggested thanks so much

Thank you this is incredibly helpful!

very useful tips, thanks

I need to fix my rotator cuff pain as I start to get back into my triathlon workouts🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Thank you for sharing your journey! I’m planning my first “long” distance swim for 2022. I’m super excited to learn more. I love the environmental aspect of your channel too. My husband and I are constantly trying to reduce our plastic usage! 🌎

I was thinking of doing a 10km swim next summer 2022, and was wondering what sort of distances should i consistently be able to do leading up to the swim? My longest swim to date is only 4.4km and any other tips would be greatly apreciated.
