How To Train For Swimming At Home Pt. 1 | Swim Training Exercises

[@Robin-ie3ns]

"Maybe you live too far away from a pool.." "Maybe you're on lockdown for 12 weeks to avoid a deadly virus" :) Some really good exercises here, thanks for your efforts to still be uploading videos. All the best.

[@heatherfell_oly]

Thanks Robin, hope you tried some.

You can add snorkel as well to not focus on breathing

[@ianmorgan1325]

Great video. Really useful in lockdown! You might consider doing video with the full reps so people can exercise along with you. I've started to appreciate having a virtual workout partner in lockdown.

[@gtn]

Part 2 will be coming soon! What exercises do you do at home? Leave us a comment!

[@WaltRBuck]

Lately, with all this quarantine, sadly, I've been over training the jawcersizing routine.

[@elizabethheischkamp5161]

I'm still trying to find out what I can do at home with no swimming pool and the gym closed. 😒 I tried challenging my kids with daily sessions of "Just dance", but they got bored pretty soon. Today I tried cycling instead. I musst say, I'm really having a hard time without swimming. 😓

[@adrianmayhew6835]

Global Triathlon Network - just ordered resistance bands and resistance cords, could we get a session on this? Thanks for the show and keep up the great work! Adey

[@anthonyhettfilm6640]

Thanks GTN. Having gone from swimming five times a week to being stuck at home and doing nothing at all, I really needed something to keep me going physically and mentally.

[@heatherfell_oly]

Glad this helps, look forward to part 2.

[@jerryyoung6494]

Thank you thank you thank you! I know there’s more important things but I’m really getting depressed with my lack of training, especially with no pools available

[@heatherfell_oly]

You aren't alone, it's a tough time.

[@avac6332]

Very useful in times like these 🙏🏼

[@gabrielsmith3113]

Oh my word! thank you! even without the quarantine I’ve wanted a video like this its so easy to take 5 or 10 mins before bed or dinner etc and do 1 or 2 of these everyday

[@heatherfell_oly]

Great to hear Gabriel, thanks :)

[@treenahally4358]

Just as I got into swimming, pools close. Using my New Gtn cap in the shower.Towels great to. Be good to see some movements we can practice outside the pool.❤️

[@heatherfell_oly]

You'll be raring to go once we are back to normality :)

[@nooan79]

It seems that here in Spain they will extend the quarantine for another two weeks at least. More videos like this one, showing home workouts for triathletes, are very very welcome in these difficult times. Thank you Heather and the whole GTN crew for your hard work. BTW the on-the-floor kicking exercise burns like hell!

[@gtn]

More exercise videos to come, take care 🙌

[@heatherfell_oly]

Glad you're able to use it, look forward for part 2.

[@paulocardosomenezes8476]

Great video! Thanks Heather and GTN Team! 😁👍

[@heatherfell_oly]

Thanks Paulo

[@robvan111]

Really informative thanks. Will make this part of my daily "don't lose my mind from isolation" routine!

[@trivelobikes]

Great tips while we have to isolate. Helps with challenge of not being able to get to the pool while all closed.

[@heatherfell_oly]

Thanks, do check out the follow up video too.

[@brychang]

These are just the exercises I need, thankyou for putting this together and making it all so easy to follow! When I make it out of the water in my first post apocalypse triathlon, I'll be thanking you!

[@akaplatinum]

Very good workout. Love the side planks Thank you

[@taliyah-u6n]

Thank you so much. I am hopefully gonna make the swim team and I am so excited to do these exercises!!!

[@EatMyPropwash]

Perfect video because A.) it’s Heather 😍 and B.) given the circumstances of all gyms... :-)

[@cubanpeteKOTRB]

Oh yes! Was waiting for this, thanks!!

[@Silvia-ur1ee]

I'm watching at GTN from Bergamo, Italy. I think that triathlon competitions will be delayed to the next year, and by now I really don't mind about this. Thank you, Heather for this video 🙏🏼 Good luck, everybody 😘😘😘

[@gtn]

Take care from all of us at GTN 🙌

[@heatherfell_oly]

Thanks Silvia, stay safe.

[@andrewharding3818]

Has come at the right time

[@brittneyswanson8448]

Thanks for the video! Would love to see some tubing specific exercises for swim training, excited for part 2! =)

Excellent, Heather! Thanks for this!

[@heatherfell_oly]

Thanks Randy.

Heather Fell ))))

[@grinnade0053]

This helps really much since one of the swimming clubs i swim at has closed

[@danishaudiocompany1012]

Thanks Heather, with my lessons currently cancelled until further notice these will help....really miss the pool. Sea is just a little too cold at the moment.

[@heatherfell_oly]

Yes you're not alone in avoiding the sea for the time being. Keep up the work and you'll get back to your swimming as soon as this is over.

[@danishaudiocompany1012]

Heather Fell thank you very much for your reply. I’m 51 and started swimming lessons a few months ago....wished I had started much earlier, absolutely love it. Really enjoy all your and your colleagues videos.

[@agnes4584]

Great exercises Heather! With all swimming cancelled, we need some workable alternatives. It would be great to see some swimming specific exercises using resistance bands. Keep fit and healthy everyone! 👋

[@heatherfell_oly]

That's coming!

[@stephaniedannenberg901]

Thanks so much for this. Pools and gyms everywhere are closed, and being from the frozen north, OWS is not a solution with frozen ponds. My triathlon is still scheduled and has me nervous about the swim if things stay this way. Keep these videos coming!

[@heatherfell_oly]

Keep up the work, you aren't alone.

[@donatina1987]

I never clicked so quickly ..... 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@phillwhitlam6999]

Some great workouts there Heather, we are on lockdown here no pools nearby also not allowed on the beach. Missing my sea swims.

[@heatherfell_oly]

We are in it together.

[@lewisdwheeler]

Thanks Heather, these are awesome! Feeling like a fish out of water with the pool closed.... :( And run-cycle-run-cycle gets old! Thanks for these exercises, will give them a go!

Thanks will try out these exercises

[@bruer1000]

Excellent choice of exercises, will participate in immediately . cheers!

[@heatherfell_oly]

Great we can help, keep it up.

[@lizziegutteridge8267]

"Maybe try 8 reps to start with" - I just about get through 2 or 3... If I do this for 12 weeks where will my swimming end up? Planning ahead to when more of us might not be able to leave the house for a while (or the garden thank goodness) - how about a skipping video? I'm thinking of making myself a skipping rope but haven't used one since school.

[@justin-eu7nh]

As I work with kids, it's always good to spice things up. For them it's fun but also work Forwrd summersult and stand up and jump (Without touching the floor with your Hands to stand) or Forward summersult and stand but only on one leg (again not using your hands) Obvious this is training your flipturns Press ups I can get away with but Sideplanks with leg raises are hated tho ;) Great vid

[@heatherfell_oly]

Great to hear, might leave the forward roles to your kids though ;)

[@surjitsinghdeo6533]

Hello ma'am, what should be minimum reps of each exercise and how long should it be done ?

[@kevinlane1316]

Thank you!

[@goliveyoung1180]

what I do because I am a famous swimmer for the DSS GB team and I want to leaned about your experience in the pool pr

[@Tathyaparmar4400]

Which smart watch are you wearing? whats the brand name? Is it swim proof??

[@heatherfell_oly]

It's the Polar Vantage M and yes it is swim proof, I wear it all the time.

[@saragreenwood5362]

This is handy as my swimming pool is closed at the minute

[@heatherfell_oly]

I think you're not alone.

[@Artpegis]

Very useful! Just at the right timing!Thanks

[@heatherfell_oly]

Don't forget to check out the follow up part 2 too.

[@hansonrichardmark]

Just wanted I needed - I'm now into DAY 61 of lockdown in Wuhan with the hotel pool closed since DAY-3

[@poushalighosh7071]

Can you kindly tell us the reps and the duration of the exercise

[@gabrielleslater693]

I am doing this!

[@edwardhobbs8491]

Thank you very much

[@yvesruffel3091]

Hi Heather! Have you tried the Zen8 swim trainer? Since pool subscription in France are expensive and open water swimming is not always possible (especially in winter in Brittany), I was thinking on buying one of those trainer. What are your thoughts about this?

[@sharathgvk]

hi, if i am doing arms and chest strengthening with out weights do help swimming or damage swimming, due to stiffness of muscles in arms

[@kstyuwu1475]

I have a swimming competition next week And I'm stressing out

[@devidasramchandani7803]

Thanku

[@IamTwiddleDum]

What did doc counsilman say to this swimmers when they asked 'what's up?' "Elbows!"

[@magnemmar4869]

tricep dips strain your shoulders. If you must do them, turn your hands outward to reduce shoulder strain. A better choice is a cobra pushup as that also engages the full tricep muscle.

[@heatherfell_oly]

Turning your hands outwards is then externally rotating your humerus and would actually put just as much strain on the shoulder and probably more on the wrist. If however you have tricep dip bars then of course that is preferrable and easier.

[@MrRotten99]

Completely off topic from this video, however it came to me while watching it. What if GTN, GCN and heck, let's throw in those guys riding weird looking bikes on GMBN, get a whole bunch of their presenters and do a group ride on Zwift. Might be a nice opportunity to get the whole gang together during these trying times for a nice ride and chat. Just throwing the idea out there. Cheers.

[@jonbeka7533]

5:18 my mind is not right

[@chaetostoma5]

Oh, thank goodness. No burpees!

[@heatherfell_oly]

I'm not a fan, although feel free to add in.

[@davidmccarty8174]

Great video, Heather, I did a workout session using this routine and expanding it just a bit - I added stretch cords and some wind sprints to the end of my street after every group of three exercises. 3 rounds total. Question: what is the brand and model of the shoes/trainers you are wearing in this video? I’d like to investigate whether they are available in the USA. Thanks.

[@kayleighannaoconnor6904]

If you're looking for good running shoes, Brooks has some. I have a pair of trail running shoes for cross-country training and they've lasted me three years of almost daily use with minimal wear-and-tear.

[@tetegrondona7915]

side planks omg

[@vivianadzibe6660]

Please in spanish

[@peacefulviolence2660]

I live in South Korea. If you talk swimming with any of the locals- they look at you like you are speaking another language. The vast majority live in metropolitan type areas that are not really close to water (with the exception of Busan-- Seoul is mostly mud sand on the west). Pools are VERY few and far between. Try to swim in the open ocean above waist high water and lifeguards on jetskis are being called into come rescue you. I have never been somewhere that is 3/4's of the way surrounded by water and so few people know how to actually swim and not doggy paddle. Thank you for the tips on exercise. COVID has basically taken travelling back home off the table as I cannot afford to spend a month simply in quarantine and out of work!

Is it just me or do u swimmers hate caps but know if you take it off there u swim so much you know that the chlorine will burn your hair. ...just me then?

[@yingkaishao2939]

... or you're in quarantine from a deadly virus THAT ALSO INTERRUPTED MANY,MANY IMPORTANT THINGS jk but still tho very helpful

[@brodefineportraiture446]

if you could redo this wonderful video in a bikini so the viewers can identify the muscle activations from each execise would be great and more educational. Yoga additions would also bring the full educational experience to a new level as well....we love you

[@Bailey12300]

Just say no to these physcos and maybe stuff will re open with heavy resistance

[@sarahmccormick7147]

What’s your name first name and last name

[@Nick-jd5ut]

Or maybe corona virus

[@DP-sh3nk]

yes I was thinking, Elephant--->room

[@btugrul]

Glad to see that you've finally realized that the entire world is coping with a terrible virus while you upload such videos as how to ruin your bike...

[@heatherfell_oly]

Barish we are adapting to the situation along with the rest of the world. We have some videos filmed and edited before Corona hit the UK and at the moment some countries are still able to exercise outdoors. We will be bringing a mix of videos to cater for everyone in the next week or so.
