Race morning? Do these 2 things before the start 👇
1. Swim 200–400 m before the race if you can get in the water
2. Finish your warm-up with a few fast efforts to get your heart rate up
3. That way the race isn’t the first time your heart rate spikes that day, and you won’t tire as quickly
4. No water access? Go for a light jog and warm up your shoulders with TheraBand or cord exercises
5. Check the course and line up each buoy with a landmark on shore. A tree or building is much easier to spot than a small buoy in chop
Save this for your next triathlon or open water swim

If your hand goes too deep towards the end of your stroke, you may end up pushing upwards instead of backwards.
Focus on keeping the last third of your stroke a little shallower, finishing near your upper thigh, and releasing smoothly into recovery.

Keep your armpit open, let your elbow bend, and point your fingers towards the bottom of the pool.
This helps your hand and forearm face backwards so you can press water behind you and move forwards.

As you move into the power phase, avoid letting your shoulders roll forwards.
Keep your chest open and draw your shoulder blades back and down to help engage your lats.
This allows you to use the stronger muscles in your back to generate more power with each stroke.

Too much tension in your arm could be making your freestyle catch harder than it needs to be!
The key is to use just enough tension to hold a strong catch position without forcing it.
Try swimming with a stiff arm, then a more relaxed one. Feel the difference and see which makes your catch easier.

A common mistake is kicking too much from the knees, creating big, wide bicycle kicks that waste energy.
In this clip from our recent Hell Week Camp, Coach Tas explains how to improve your freestyle kick by keeping your legs long, engaging your glutes and hamstrings, and using a small, relaxed flick through your feet.

Over-rotating can delay your breathing and throw off your timing.
Keep your body rotation controlled and balanced so you can turn your head at the right time and stay streamlined through the water.

Keeping your chest slightly open and your lungs as the lowest point of your body can help shift your balance forward, making it easier to keep your legs closer to the surface.
Try this simple floating drill to feel the difference. Small changes in posture can make freestyle feel much easier.
