0:00.0	That Traathlon Show, episode 69.
0:05.6	Hey, what's up, everybody, and welcome back to another episode of That Triathlon show, the podcast
0:24.7	presented by Scientific Triathlon.com. I'm your host Michael and on today's episode, I'll do a round
0:31.6	up of swimming drills and what different expert coaches in the triathlon world think about them.

1:53.1	I wanted to bring you the opinions of just three coaches, but that are amongst the best of the best.
2:00.2	So these are first swim Smooth, which is led by
