Taking Time Out of Your Swim Splits

     Another way to explain the importance of the three keys is to look at things in terms of time saving. Let’s say you were a triathlete preparing for Olympic Distance races where the swim leg is 1500 m in open water. At the moment you swim around thirty minutes for 1500 m and you set yourself a target of swimming six minutes quicker, what is the best way to go about making this improvement?
     Most triathletes in this situation would try to make this improvement by focusing purely on the efficiency of their stroke technique. Of course, this is a worthy goal but you would greatly increase your chances of success by splitting things out and looking to get two minutes each from your technique, fitness and open water skills instead. Or looking at this another way, if you did improve your stroke efficiency to the tune of six minutes you would have left those fitness and open water improvements on the table and you could then be swimming much more quickly still.
