This weeks episode we chat with swim coach extraordinaire Russ Barber. Russ is a world class swimming coach who has coached multiple athletes to olympic and commonwealth games in both swimming and triathlon. We discuss Russ's views on swimming within triathlon and how he found coming into the sport from a high performance swimming environment. We then delve into a detailed discussion of swimming technique and outline the 3 non negotiables for everyone when it comes to swimming technique. We discuss what swimming aids Russ uses and why and address the age old debate of pull bouys and neoprene shorts. We finish with Russ outlining some of his key swim sets that he would use to access threshold and VO2 robustness. Enjoy!
