Author: Kevin Koskella
Book Description: They criticized Mark Spitz for his "strange form" that led him to several gold medals in the '72 Olympics... Could it be that he knew something they didn't? Could it be that some triathletes know his secret?
"Now You Can Laugh At The Water!"
Swim Like A Fish, Have 50% More Energy, Bolt From The Water Like A Prisoner On Jail Break, And Slash Five To Ten Minutes Off Your Triathlon Race Time
Dear Fellow Triathlete,
As you arrive for the race in the early morning, a cool mist hangs in the air. The sun starts to peak out over the horizon and it brings a smile to your face. This isn't your first triathlon, you've been training for months for this day...but today is different. You've never felt this way before.
Because you're early, your preparation is leisurely, but focused. You're in control.
You look around at your competitors and out over the water as you slip into your wetsuit. You're not only relaxed, you're confident, and looking for your best time ever.
Oh sure, you have the typical race day butterflies, but nothing like the anxiety you've had in the past. In the past you were consumed with thoughts about the swim.
The distance, the water conditions, the splashing, the kicking, the amount of energy you'd expend...the swim. You never gave a second thought to the bike or run... just the swim.
But, today is different. It's different because you've found a way to conquer the dreaded swim... And you've been training for months.
Befriend the Swim
My friend, if you want to have the feeling I've just described you've come to the right place.
I know what it's like to be starting out in Triathlon. Even though swimming is the shortest part of the race, many view it as a "necessary evil." Others leave the water exhausted and discouraged. It's not because they're horrible swimmers or because they're not in shape... It's mostly just poor technique.
Swimmers waste energy trying to churn through the water instead of moving the body forward.
It's no fun to compete in something when you have no confidence or you're wondering if you'll have enough to finish the other two parts of the race.
If you want to compete in Triathlons, you have to befriend the swim, and I'll show you how.
My name is Kevin Koskella, and I've spent much of my life swimming competitively. While swimming for the University of California - Davis, I achieved All-American status.
I've taken my success in swimming and combined it with the philosophies and techniques from some of the top swim coaches in the world. This has enabled me to train triathletes from beginner through professional level and help them not only become better swimmers, but better triathletes.
After college, I began training for triathlons, studying nutrition, and working on personal training certifications. Then, in early 2000, I started coaching a masters swim team.
I've never been comfortable with the traditional philosophies of "no pain, no gain", or "the more, the better". There came a point where I realized you can't train for swimming the same way you do for cycling and running. It just didn't make sense to grind out swimming workouts like you could with the other two events... so I started searching for a better way to teach my swimmers.
Get more from less.
I discovered a particular method of swimming that intrigued me, and I started incorporating some of the techniques and drills in workouts, as well as my clinics and private lessons. Here's what happened... I found this particular method helped my swimmers get more out of their strokes, swim faster, and more fluidly, while exerting less energy. In other words, they were getting more for less!
If you're at the beginner level and you're looking for the best way to get started, or you're at the intermediate level, looking to improve, there are limited resources to help you.
Even if you have access to tri clubs in your area, often times these clubs fall short of offering any kind of true swim training plan.
Masters swim teams are one place to go to get good workouts, but they're not often geared towards triathletes. They tend to concentrate on swimming fast and doing lots of yardage and distance instead of offering appropriate technique help.
Training for an open water triathlon swim is not the same as training for competitive swimming. It requires more attention to the proper technique than ordinary high yardage anaerobic workouts.
"The Complete Guide to Triathlon Swimming" will help you to:
- Swim freestyle better and easier than you ever imagined, with much more confidence, almost instantly
- Conserve energy while swimming just as fast or faster than before
- Prepare for your first race or help improve your stroke and workout routines to get the most from your swim
- Make swimming the best part of your race
- Overcome unnecessary pre-race anxiety
- Have more confidence swimming in the open water with no surprises or unnecessary problems
- Prepare for an Olympic, Sprint, Half-Ironman, or Ironman distance triathlon
- Have more fun while competing
- Compete in more triathlons

"The Complete Guide to Triathlon Swimming" is a tool aimed at giving you a whole new perspective on not only participating, but competing in Triathlon
It teaches you how to automatically accomplish more by employing the proper methods and techniques. It dispels the myths about swimming that may be holding you hostage. You'll swim with much more ease and retain the energy needed for the other two legs of the race. Believe it or not... it can even make swimming your favorite part of the race!
Here's what's included:
- 12 meaty (no fat) Chapters including a 12 week training plan which contains: The correct drills to improve your open water swim, the right amount of yardage, and customized intervals to make sure you are at your peak when it's time to race
- 4 Training Plans designed for a 25-yard or 25-meter pool
- What you need to know about Open Water Swimming
- An introduction to Triathlon Swimming
- 4 Sections- Including Technique, Equipment, Training, and Putting it All Together
- 4 Distinct Training Plans- for Sprint Distance, Olympic Distance, Half Ironman, and Ironman
- 15 Video Clips - of freestyle drills done properly, along with the way freestyle should look underwater. You'll eliminate the guesswork and never again have to wonder what the drills look like, as you will have lifelong access to the videos.
- Strength Training - specifically for open water swimming (Includes pictures)
- 4 Additional Stroke Drills
- Drills in the pool and exercises on land
Most people are way overdoing it with the way they train. It's understandable if they've never been shown a better way, but I'm sick of people being taught incorrectly. I'm sick of people being set up for failure or injury.
I'll show you exactly how to do it without killing yourself in the process.
You'll learn:
1) Where 90-95% of your propulsion comes from
2) What part leg strength plays in swimming faster (you'll be surprised)
3) Common swimming myths
4) The key to swimming effectively in the open water
5) The value of "sitting on your ankles."
6) "To use or not to use" fins for training
7) How to avoid needless injuries
8) What single piece of equipment forces you to swim the correct way
9) What muscles to train to be a better, stronger swimmer
10) How to prepare for race day
If that's not enough, you'll learn how to:
11) Get more out of your stroke
12) Swim more fluidly
13) Get more from less - swim more efficiently
14) Begin a training program in the pool
15) Attend masters workouts with an idea of what to look for, how to get the most out of the workouts, and learn the common swiming myths found in many of these sessions
16) Build your confidence so that swimming is the best leg of your race
17) The real secret to faster swimming
18) Which body parts are the most important while swimming
19) Lose your blind side
20) Swim like a fish
21) Balance out your stroke
22) Improve aerobic endurance
23) Be more flexible
In a nutshell...
The first section covers technique, equipment, training, coaching, and swimming myths. It not only provides you with a well conceived plan to acomplish a distance open water swim, but the energy to complete an Olympic Distance or Half Ironman distance triathlon.
The second section contains two swim training plans to optimally prepare you for either a Sprint, Olympic Distance, Half Ironman, or Ironman Distance race. It's jammed with a total of 72 workouts for you to follow along to get ready for your race, or simply choose from when you need a good triathlon swim workout.
In the third section, you'll find a strength training plan designed specifically for open water swimming. It'll help you strengthen muscles that you seldom use on land. I even include pictures so you'll know exactly how to perform these important exercises.
And of course I can help you tie it all together in section four, by providing you with a guide to keep you in line, on track, and motivated while you train for a race... as well as video demonstrations of swimming and drills discussed in the text.More... |
