Any of these little girls in swim programs.swim so hard in their practices that most ag triathletes would just give up.
We can't even swim over 3x a.week without complaining!
And I disagree that the competitive tied up.swimmer has so much better form while tied up. Especially against agers assisted with wetsuits which greatly improved body position.
They are just stronger. A lot stronger. Like 80+100k meters per week for a decade stronger. They could literally do.the worst possible propulsive.movement and still crush triathletes. That include swimming with head out of water, crazy fishtailing, you name it.
Note when I say strength here I mean swim specific strength. The type that requires kill yourself hard swimming to get. Not weightlifting strength which is very different. I likely can crush alistair brownlee in any upper body weightlifting motion but doesn't meat squat for swimming 1500.
