DRYLAND SWIM TRAINER

How to Swim Faster In 6 Weeks Or Less

8 Tried and tested tips from PRO & age-group triathletes – using the ZEN8 Dryland Swim Trainer
.

#6 can help you can drop your pace in days, not weeks!

If you’re like most age-group triathletes, you have a background in running or cycling (or both!), yet when it comes to swimming, you oftentimes feel like you “missed the boat” somewhere along the way.

It is no secret: swimming faster is one of the best ways to feel more confident and comfortable when race day finally arrives.

What most triathletes don’t know is that swimming more in the pool is not the only way (or even the best way!) to become a better swimmer. In fact, dryland swim training can be nearly as effective as swimming more often – if you know how to train properly.

Here are some simple, tested tips used by Pro triathletes, including BMC Pro Tri Team to win championship titles in the past year alone.

1. Maximize your training time

We have surveyed thousands of triathletes over the past 2.5 years, and the #1 challenge keeping triathletes from becoming better swimmers is time. Balancing work, family, travel, and still finding enough time to train – and improve – is difficult.

That’s why having a flexible training option you can fit into your schedule is crucial. The ZEN8 Swim Trainer allows you to get swim-specific training in at home, whenever it fits into your schedule – with training videos that target your specific weaknesses or maximize your strengths.

2. Swim-specific strength training

When it comes to swimming, technique and aerobics are important – but strength takes the cake when it comes to speed. And the fact remains: water doesn’t offer a lot of resistance.

Strength training with the ZEN8 gives you an unfair advantage in the form of superior resistance and muscles that can easily pull a lot of water with each stroke. Every top triathlete combines strength with aerobic training for swimming speed; you should be, too.

3. Swim-to-bike brick sessions

Most triathletes focus all of their brick sessions on T2 and bike-to-run. As a result, if you practice T1 brick sessions, you can set yourself up with a considerable lead early on in the race.

It’s really motivating to be ahead early on and still feel like you have the power to keep up the pace to hit your own PR… Rather than trying to “catch up” during the cycling and running portions of the race later on.

Rather than trying to practice your swim-to-bike brick session at the pool, now you can do it all in the convenience of your own home with the ZEN8 Swim Trainer.

4. Visualize your stroke

“If you can’t do it on dryland, then you won’t be able to do it in the water!” 

Visualizing your stroke – and carrying it out against resistance – is easier done when you’re not trying to focus on breathing and the feel of the water at the same time.

That’s why dryland swim training with the ZEN8 gives you an outsized result for the time you put in: it improves your muscle memory and coordination dramatically, in much less time.

5. Activate your core and
 learn proper body positioning

Every triathlete wants to avoid the plague of “sinky legs,” yet most dryland swim training does NOT activate your core or teach you proper body positioning.

As a result, you have to spend even more dedicated time “planking” to build a stronger core.

ZEN8 features a “perfectly inbalanced” swim bench that allows you to comfortably get in a swim-like position and will make your core work with the rest of your body, tiring you out after just 15 minutes! It’s super effective for both your time and your goals.

6. Practice your high elbow catch

Put your arm out in front of you. Now, drop your forearm and fingers downward so that your elbow is above the level of your wrist. Your arm should feel somewhat like a paddle. And then, drop your elbow below the level of your wrist.

Which option gives you the feeling of catching more water when you pull back?

A high elbow catch gives you more leverage and natural torque, helping you catch more water with every stroke. When you are swimming in the water, it’s impossible to “see” if you are getting the technique exactly right. However, when you are using the ZEN8, you can slow down each stroke and rapidly improve your technique and muscle memory.
