Swimrun Swimming Resources

We get asked a lot of questions about how to train for the swim legs of Swimrun events. Most coaches and plans out there have training plans for open water swimming and/or triathlon swimming but don’t take into account the unique aspects of Swimrun (e.g., swimming with shoes on) or the demands that Swimrunners will experience during events. Luckily, we’ve interviewed a bunch of coaches and athletes for the show that have given us a lot of insight into how to train for “Swimrun swimming.”

We’ve linked all of this content below.

Other Coaching and Training Resources

For Swimrun coaching we would definitely recommend Swimrun Labs (free training plans), Tower 26 and Envol Coaching for Open Water Swimming and Swimrun-specific/race-specific training options.

We hope this helps you on your path to getting to the start line of a Swimrun event super stoked for the adventure!
