It may seem like a waste of time, but a few minutes spent activating the right muscles and priming your body for swimming will make a big difference. It will lead to a better and more efficient stroke and a more effective swim session. • Sometimes, particularly at triathlon races, you aren’t allowed in the water before the swim start. Or if you are allowed in, the water (and air) is too cold to make this practical or advisable. In this case you need more than just some muscle activation, but an actual warm-up so that you can start fast when the gun goes, so how do you best do this? • 00:00 Why should I warm up before swimming? • 01:15 Start with a short jog • 01:35 Arm swings • 01:48 Shoulder rolls • 01:57 Lean forward and swing those arms • 02:05 Scapular push ups • 02:30 Mountain climbers and walkouts (with a twist) to activate your core • 02:39 Dead bug extensions • 02:45 Hip bridges • 03:00 Don't miss these, especially on race days • 03:29 Three band stretches for swimmers • 04:10 You're ready to swim! • Useful Links • Submit your Photo and Video to us 👉 https://gtn.io/UPLOAD • Check out the GTN Shop 👉 https://gtn.io/TeamKit • GTN Training Plans 👉 https://gcn.eu/gtntp • Watch more on GTN... • 📹 How To Plan A Swim Workout | Structure Your Next Swimming Session 👉 • How To Plan A Swim Workout | Structur... • 📹 Watch our Editor’s Choice Playlist 👉 https://gtn.io/editorschoice • 📹 Watch our weekly show, The GTN Show 👉 https://gtn.io/GTNshowPlaylist • Photos: © Triathlon / Getty Images • 🎵 Music - licensed by Epidemic Sound 🎵 • #gtn #triathlon #swimbikerun #swim #bike #run #warmup #swimtraining #swimwarmup • The Global Triathlon Network (GTN) is the world's biggest triathlon YouTube channel, with new videos every day!
