Getting Started : The Swim Stroke Cycle
from Before Midnight · host Brian Schenkenfelder, Linda Word
In this episode we continue our discussion on getting started in triathlon. This week we focus on swimming technique. Swimming is a technique-driven sport, and learning to swim as an adult is challenging due to the decrease in myelin production with age. We break down the mechanics of the freestyle stroke, including extension, catch, pull, recovery, kicking, and breathing.
