If you're beginning your triathlon training with us on the MōTTIV training app but you can't yet swim 400meters/400yards, we recommend you purchase the book, Triathlon Swimming Foundations.  You can purchase the soft-cover version or the e-reader version on your country's Amazon, or get an immediate digital download (PDF) at https://mymottiv.com/books/triathlonswimmingfoundations/.

We have had hundreds of athletes tell us that this book completely transformed their swim.  In some cases athletes have told us that before buying the book, they were not even able to swim one length of a pool. Now, they're comfortably swimming everything prescribed in their workouts and feeling great.  It's a small investment that can make a huge difference!  

If you can already swim 400meters/400y continuously: There are swim drills built into your MōTTIV training app workouts, so follow the swim drills that are being prescribe as that should help you get more comfortable and/or start to improve your speed. Those drills are done based on when they should happen in the year, and they're always done sequentially so they're building on each other.

If you have a specific issue with your swim you want to work on, we recommend you book a swim analysis with Brenton Ford at Effortless Swimming. This is where you get the best recommended drills you should work on during warmups to help overcome whatever specific issue you're struggling with. Don't forget to mention you're a member of Triathlon Taren's MōTTIV training app!
