Hey experts,
need some advice for the swim, looking for recommendations of online coaches or drills/techniques that can help me as i have hit a plateau.
I am an 2x ironman triathlete, and have swam 1hour within 30secs for both of them however i went a bit to hard in both of them i would say.
in the pool i swim 15km/week roughly and nearly all of my training is done at 1:44/100meters which is a very comfortable pace. I recently tried to do a 1000meter time trial long course to see where i would be and i only managed to swim at 1:30 pace and was completely gassed out despite swimming this in the ironman pretty much for far less effort.
I believe i struggle with the kick or maybe stability because when i swim with a pull bouy and ankle band i usually swim 5s/100m quicker and it feels far easier. then when i go back to swim freestyle i stuggle and feel un-coordinated.
if anyone has advice on what i might be doing wrong that would be great, or where i can look to find some tips i would greatly appreciate.
sorry dont have any footage of me swimming, my pool wont allow cameras
