Comment “Drill” and I’ll send you 3 free workouts in the TRI Swim Club app so you can start building your swimming the right way.

Is this the hardest swim drill? 👀

The Side-to-Side Drill looks simple… until you try to do it correctly.

It demands:
✅ Serious core stability
✅ A strong, continuous kick
✅ Shoulder + hip drive
✅ A high body position
✅ Control through the entire rotation

You’re not just rotating from side to side—you’re learning to control your body while maintaining speed, balance, and connection through the water.

And once you can do this drill correctly?

You know your swimming is on another level. 🔥

Struggling to breathe with one goggle in and one goggle out?

It usually comes down to one thing. You’re rushing your lead arm and not rotating fully with the breath. That lead arm should stay extended out front to keep you balanced and floating, and to support the rotation a clean breath needs.

That’s exactly what I fix inside Double Your Distance, my 4-week beginner course. I coach you step by step to build your freestyle from the water up, using the same techniques I’ve relied on for 30 years as a swimmer and coach.

If breathing has always felt like the hard part, this is how you finally learn it the right way.

Mixing in some stroke work today for the TRI Swim Club athletes.

I like to write stroke work into deload weeks. It gives your muscles a break from the same freestyle movements while still letting you get in solid conditioning.

Deloads don’t always have to be easy swimming. Backing off the specific work doesn’t mean backing off entirely. Swapping the stimulus does the same job, and it keeps the week from feeling like a slog.

Variation keeps it interesting, and it lets your body adapt in new ways.

One arm swimming is one of the best drills for a stronger, more connected stroke.

Here’s what I love about it. With only one arm working, the only way to rotate evenly to both sides is to engage your core. It exposes exactly where your connection breaks down and forces you to fix it.

Do it right and every rep is intentional. Set up your catch. Pull straight through. Get everything you can out of each stroke instead of rushing to the next one.

One arm. Full focus. Better stroke.

Most triathletes copy a pool swimmer’s plan. But a distance swimmer grinds 80,000 meters a week because the pool is their only engine. You already build a massive aerobic engine on the bike and the run. When you grind easy laps to “build base,” you’re paying for something you already own.

Cut the junk yardage and spend what’s left where it counts. Fewer meters. Harder meters. Shaped like your race.

My pros race full distance on about 15,000 meters a week. Less than a typical age-group plan prescribes. And they race faster for it.

Full breakdown is on the blog. Link in bio.

Comment “sprint” for free access to my workouts.

Dead starts are one of the most underrated tools for triathletes.

Starting from a floating position and immediately sprinting forces you to generate speed without a push-off. This replicates the kind of speed you need in a chaotic triathlon start, which often begins from that same floating position.

Speed is one of the first things you lose when you stop training it, yet most triathletes rarely practice true sprinting.

Meanwhile, the first 200 to 400m of a triathlon swim can determine your entire day.

Your ability to accelerate quickly can determine which pack you make, who you’re able to draft, and ultimately how hard the rest of the swim feels.

Practice getting fast and you’ll be fast on race day. 🏊‍♂️

Confidence on race day is not something you find at the start line. You build it in the weeks before.

Every session you show up for. Every drill you repeat until it feels natural. Every set that had a purpose. That work adds up, and it shows up when it counts.
