Great swim
I had a great swim today. There was a winter advisory and snow up in the mountains but the beach just had a few sprinkles. Gotta love the Big Island. Friends and I headed for the half Ironman buoy...

Just an idea
One thing that may have happened when you sped up was that you tightened the muscles in your hand. Tension in those muscles make you use more of your smaller arm muscles. Relax the hand and your...

Aloha
I have seen a person go from barely swimming a length to swimming over a mile in less than a week at a TI open water camp in Kona. I don't think it's unrealistic to swim 1.5K in a couple of months....

Question
Although you can't totally separate the two I'm curious if more people come to TI because of the philosophy (Kaizen) or the technical aspects (stroke mechanics and SPL). Do they come for one and stay...

Thankful
This morning a dozen of us met at Manini Beach (Big Island) on Kealakekua Bay and went for an adventure swim south about a mile to Ke'ei Beach. On the swim I thought about how thankful I was for T.I....

Hawaii
We too have boats in most areas. Probably not the density you have on a lake. We also have large animals that we sometimes worry about. We do have regular swim routes that boaters know to be on the...

Getting mojo back
Before April I had a decent stroke and competed in an open water race about once a month. Then I received a breast cancer diagnosis. Although I was back in the water 3 weeks after surgery and swam...

Swimp3
I love my swimp3! I use it almost every time I swim. It keeps me relaxed. If I lose focus and my stroke falls apart I can focus on the music, let my body relax a bit, and then my stroke comes...

Depends
A lot depends on what you do now and how comfortable you are in open ocean. When I'm getting ready for the Waikiki Roughwater in Sept. I usually do 1.2 mi 3 times a week, the full ironman course...
