Most swimmers don’t panic in open water because they are “bad swimmers.”
They panic because open water changes your breathing, heart rate, visibility, and sense of control 🌊
In the pool you always see the wall, the line, and the bottom. In open water your breathing becomes rushed, your heart rate spikes, and many swimmers start fighting the water instead of relaxing into it.
A few things that help almost everyone 👇
• Never start too fast. Let your breathing settle first.
• Focus on a long exhale into the water — this helps calm the nervous system and lower heart rate.
• If you feel stressed, don’t swim harder. Slow the stroke slightly and relax the shoulders and neck.
• Keep the head low when breathing and sighting to maintain better body position.
• Focus on rhythm before speed. Relaxed swimming is usually faster and more efficient 🏊♀️
Open water swimming is not only fitness.
It’s breathing control, pacing, confidence, and learning how to stay relaxed even when conditions change.
Save this for your next open water session 🤍
Send it to a swimmer who needs this 🌊

Demain, mon grand ami @Markus_Marthaler va tenter de devenir le premier homme à réussir à traverser de Tobago à Trinidad ! 🏊🏻♂️
C’est lui qui me prépare mes plans d’entraînement natation et qui m’a suivi dans plein de mes aventures, comme ici lors de la traversée de la Suisse en triathlon en passant par les Alpes.
Alors j’ai qu’un mot à dire : GO FOR IT MARKUS 🔥🏆🇹🇹
PS : suivez son aventure dans ses stories 👉🏻 @markus_marthaler

Not giving in 🌊🌪️ It’s in the discomfort, uncertainty, and adversity that we discover what we’re truly capable of 💪🏼

Better technique.
Less effort.
More speed.
Swimming faster isn’t always about working harder.
Better body position, a more effective catch, and less drag help you swim faster with less effort.
Focus on efficiency. Speed will follow.

Je suis en ce moment à Monaco pour préparer ma traversée Calvi-Monaco : la plus longue nage au monde en faveur de la Nature.
Cet été, je vais nager plus de 180km, en 3 jours, 3 nuits, sans sortir de l’eau, en faveur de la préservation des eaux et la protection de la biodiversité en Méditerranée.
