About this episode

The episode discusses the benefits of incorporating running into swimming training and explores breathing techniques for swimmers.

This week we’re swapping sea legs for running shoes as we share how adding a morning run is challenging us in new ways and helping boost our swim cardio. It turns out trying to stop Terri moving the goal posts is an actual thing!  We dive into breathing, why so many swimmers struggle with it, how carbon dioxide build-up affects endurance, and why establishing a breathing rhythm early can completely change how you feel in the water. Our drill of the moment is the brilliant 6-Kick Switch, perfect for improving body position, balance, rotation and timing. It’s honest, practical, and packed with tips to help you feel stronger and calmer in your swimming.
