Summary

Want to get into swimming this summer but don't know how to start? Does putting your face in the water make you nervous? Or just the thought of swimming in open water makes you shudder? Fear not, friends: We're addressing many of your swimming concerns in this episode. We put pro triathlete and swim coach Laurel Wassner in the hot seat to answer your questions on subjects including:

  • Swim etiquette (to split or circle swim? That is the question.)
  • Calming anxiety and fears in the water
  • Steadily increasing speed and endurance
  • Adult swimming lessons, and more!Ā 

Then, we bring on mother runner Cathy Johnson, a beginner swimmer who went from fearful to fierce in the pool. Hear how swimming with a snorkel eased her anxiety and the big event she's now training for.Ā

Grab a swim snorkel for yourself.Ā Here's what Cathy uses!Ā
