Nice Video! Have you guys built this wooden construction around the pool on your own? Could you please give some "how to" advice for this very nice looking construction?
What did you use for a tether? And how did you construct the wood around the pool? I have the same pool in the US. Intex Prism 8ftx16ftx42ft. Water is 39 inches. Bestways makes a similar version.
We have tried some different randoms stuff combined together. Most important is that it’s a bit flex in the robber so you don’t reach the maximum flex when you swim
Nice form guys! I bought one of the round ones on sale, 15x30". Do you use you tri watches to count strokes and such? do you use Pool mode or Open water? I assume the distance would be 0 lol.
Use open water without GPS. Mainly just to get it into TrainingPeaks. Ain’t looking too much at these numbers as it’s different anyway from normal swimming
Thinking about doing something similar at the house for swimming. Do you know the size of that pool? Need to make sure I find one deep enough to not drag the bottom on my stroke.
I just posted the same and googled it. It seems that what I found out is the best way, "I'd go for open water swimming with GPS off. You won't get distance, but at least you'll get time and stroke metrics." So I will make a new Profile on my 735XT and copy open water profile and turn off the GPS. Like they said, no distance, but SPM and other metrics are what I am after. I am still learning to swim, just figured out proper breathing before the pools closed. Swam 4 laps of an 18m pool in Florida the day before being evacuated back to Canada.
Within hours 🤦🏼 crazy weather to be in May. And I was hoping for good temperatures few weeks ago so the real open water swims could start this month 🥶🤯
Now it’s not your question... 😅 but last time a swam a proper event where in 2011 when I was 17yo and I did 16:45 for 1500(25m pool). Think my PB is from that split. Guess I could swim a bit faster when I’m in shape now( not now now as all pools has been closed 😅)
A gold medalist does not see the obstacles/negatives but rather focuses on the options/answers/positives. 🇳🇴 💪🏼!
What a simple and yet brilliant idea!
I am so excited! I just bought a harness and some tubing to make a tether for my own pool!
That's incredibly clever. kudos Casper
Casper's done a great job setting that pool up. Hope you get some good weather over there soon.
Keep training hard. All the best from australia.
Best idea I've seen in youtube.
Right 😂 it's low key brilliant considering the endless pool starts at $20,000
Wow, brilliant 😀😀
How big is the pool?
Does this really give you a good workout? If so, I'm definitely making this in my backyard. Never heard of this before.
Same
definitely a thing. i've seen a few mtb pros do this offseason, but in normal pools.
Keep those videos coming! You guys are awesome! :)
Nice Video! Have you guys built this wooden construction around the pool on your own? Could you please give some "how to" advice for this very nice looking construction?
It’s Casper’s “ crew” who has done it
Broooo!!! This is brilliant 😂😂
Great video as always Kristian. Keep it going
How is this different from regular swimming?
It isn't, that's the point.

You better ask @ Casper Stornes on IG, it’s his pool and he knows all that stuff
Congrats!!! I am swiming in Chile with 11°c. How many degress there are in your pool? I dont speak english jajaja
Here it was like 23-24*C. But now it’s even warmer. Like 29-30.
Our 50m pool will open next week
Hi Kristian, what is the brand of the elastic & band you're using? Or did you make it yourself? Thanks

@@kristian.blummenfelt
Could you share with us where to buy the same robber?
Thanks
What are dimensions of that pool please? Length and depth.
I think it’s like 4x1,5-2m long and wide. Maybe just above 1m deep.
You're a viking you should swim in the Fjords 😂
Haha it’s freaking cold out there 🥶
What's the temperature at min 1:24?
Super low tech lap pool! Cool!
what is the brand name of this?
Why do you record the swimming hr?. Is there any specific reason or just more data means better analysis after the session? 👉🦵💪
For swimming I normally record the times so it’s going into TrainingPeaks. Then I adjust the correct distance per session afterwards
@@kristian.blummenfelt Thanks a lot for the answer but I was wondering about the Heart Rate😊😊😊
Oh, I just do it when I swim with wetsuits. Just good to have and idea. Looking at opportunities to get HR in the pools as well
Nice videos again and again👌👌

I keep forgetting he is referring in Celsius LOL….cause 24 degrees Fahrenheit would be freezing!!!!

I ain’t really sure. I’m touching the bottom if I swim with straight arms. Maybe like a meter deep?
what camera do you use?
Using GoPro 8 for all swim videos here
That’s awesome
Indoor pool? Or closed .
All pools are closed until end of this month
How do you configure Garmin for this activity?

Correct, using open water settings without gps
Is it possible to have a distance estimation?
Does it feel weird not swimming anywhere?
Yes, but at least it got the job done ✅
BRAVO!!!!!
Great motivation
Homemade endless Poo was first this I saw
The best
Dude saved me 20,000 dollars with an elastic band
try butterfly, dolphin....
Hehe I thought about it last swim... but realised I would be touching the wall on both sides
@@kristian.blummenfelt I am missing my swim sessions.... I love dolphin and butterfly....
@@kristian.blummenfeltwould it be possible with this system?
I wish we can swim after the snow fall
Love your vids!
Get a mirror to put on the floor of the pool
Good idea!
So that's why no outdoor activites on strava last few days 😂😂😂
Haha will be more outside riding and running this week 👊🏻 summer is coming back hopefully. It’s been of and of with snow the whole week 🤯 crazy
Oh shit! Very bad conditions the weather 😂🥵
Crazy ! On and of with snow the last week 🤯
@@kristian.blummenfelt thanks machine, you are a inspiration!! 🙏💪
How much did he pay for this?
Happy 17th of may 🇳🇴
Did I miss the point! Dunno! Why is he a professional swimmer n built pool for practice if so why
This one stumps me as in I'm confused.
COVID-19
Correct. All pools are closed for three months. Will open next week for us.
so the weather switched from snowstorm to sunshine within few minutes and then back to snowy 😭 lol

What is your 400m best time?

Shoulders too wide
