My #1 focus when swimming with paddles: making sure my arm is in a good position from the start. 👉🏻 Paddle below wrist, wrist below elbow when one arm is extended forward.

(In 90% of the swim videos I analyse, I see the same thing. The arm is pointing upwards instead of little down. And that comes at a cost.)

More drag and a delayed catch. Add paddles and we get even more drag, more stress on your shoulders and certainly a delayed catch, if any.

👉🏻 Time to switch things up a bit! For the next few months, I’ll be swapping some of my regular swim training for swimrun preparation. ÖTILLÖ Mallorca is coming up in April and I’ll be racing with dear friend Helen Wikmar @helenwikmar ! 😃
Which means lots of meters with paddles and pull buoy (from one and only @arksportsinc ) and probably a few reminders that running is also part of the deal. 😂

And without paddles? Same focus. Always.

3100 m P+D med @simcoachen 🏊🏼‍♀️

Klassiskt pink mist idag igen - Vi var sjukt starka till sista 300ingen🤜🏼🤛🏼🤣Efter 50m på den va det survival mode😨👯‍♀️🫪🥳Men vi löste beepet - på håret!

Bägaren kanske rann över lite idag med kommentaren - ( varit några sådana det senaste….)
”Men du fuskar ju med alla hjälpmedel!”

Jag tränar SWIMRUN. Sporten där vi simmar med paddlar och dolme. Då är det rätt praktiskt att träna med… paddlar och dolme.

Jag har hållit på sedan 2018. Åtta år senare verkar vi fortfarande behöva reda ut det här 😂Simning är simning. Triathlon är triathlon. Swimrun är swimrun.

Att kalla det fusk är som att säga att seglare fuskar för att kanotisterna minsann får paddla själva.

”Jaha, du använder SEGEL också? Jag föredrar att träna på riktigt.” 😂 ”Jaahaaa tränar du med hjälpmedel???!”

Självklart simmar jag sammansatt också. Vattenkänsla och teknik är viktigt, och det jag lär mig utan prylar tar jag med mig när utrustningen åker på.

Men jag tänker inte lämna tävlingsutrustningen på kanten för att någon på banan bredvid ska godkänna mina längder.

Ska du simma 50 meter på Masters-SM i Kiruna? Kör hårt! Slå PB på Ironman Kalmar? Heja dig! 🤜🏼🤛🏼 Vi tränar för olika saker.

Jag ska simma, springa över en ö och hoppa i igen. Om och om igen. I flera timmar. Då är min största dolme och mina största paddlar ganska relevanta i sammanhanget.

Så låt oss swimrunners träna vår sport, acceptera gärna den o hjälp oss sprida den ❤️ Och känns det fortfarande som fuskigt? Ingen förbjuder dig att testa!!! Låna mina grejer och häng med några hundringar. Det är svinkul! 🥳✌🏻

Vi ses i bassängen o hoppas på mer hejarop från o med nu!!! 💪🏼

Focus on your technique.

For swim drills, lightweight fins that float make all the difference. ARK SPARK helps keep your legs up, so you can focus on the drill without wasting energy kicking.

A little extra SPARK for your next pool session.
