general.

in the episode description. I'll talk a bit more about this after the interview. Also, big thanks

1:05.2

to our sponsors form. Deform smart swim goggles give you real-time feedback in your swim training

1:09.6

right on the Google lens, including splits, pace, stroke rate and heart rate.

Form have recently launched a big and important update, which is an integration with training peaks so that workouts written in training peaks can automatically sync to the form app and the goggles.

1:23.4

This works even with swims that are just in written form, not in a workout builder in training peaks, and this makes life super easy for you or for your coach. You can just load the workout on your goggles and then you will be guided through it step by step. You can get 15% off the goggles with the code TTS15 on FormSwim.com for slash TTS. And thank you to CNAEate. The Senate indoor swim trainer allows you to improve

your technique, power and swim training consistency, even when you're short on time. It's a great tool for busy athletes because you can do a quality workout in just 15 minutes at home, even on days when you don't have time to get to the pool. And it is a perfect complement to pool and open water swimming as it allows you to focus specifically on key aspects of your swimming, like your catch and your power and isolate them more easily than you can in the water.
