Most triathletes struggle in the swim not because they lack fitness or effort, but because they skipped the most important skill: learning how to manage air and feel supported by the water. The new course in the classroom flips the script by focusing on breathing, flotation, and body position before worrying about freestyle mechanics. Through simple, repeatable drills like ball floats, jellyfish, and bobs, you’ll build comfort, calm, and balance in the water, then immediately transfer those skills into real swimming. The result is lighter legs, smoother breathing, less panic, and faster swims that feel easier instead of harder. This is not a technique rabbit hole, it’s a foundation that makes everything else finally click.

Congrats @Nicholas Marzoli ! Amazing performance at IM Hanes City!! 4:31 is blazing fast!! Punching his ticket to IM WC Nice!!! 💪

Here's what @Drew Blair has to say after 2 weeks of the breathwork challenge!! Catch up with session recordings and guided tracks in the classroom!

Week Three is where things level up. This isn’t about breathing to relax. It’s about training your system to stay efficient when intensity climbs.Longer holds. Stronger breaths. Better control under pressure. This week’s breathwork targets: - Oxygen efficiency - CO₂ tolerance - Respiratory strength - Recovery speed - Mental composure during discomfort If you’ve made it this far, you’re already building an edge most athletes never train. Show up. Breathe with intent. Let the work compound. Just over half way through the challenge @Robby Zoderer reports: In just over a week, he has more than doubled his breath-hold time. Beyond the fast progress, breathwork has become a daily non-negotiable for him. He’s noticed better focus, a calmer baseline mood, stronger diaphragmatic breathing during workouts, and faster heart rate recovery after hills and intervals. Theres no problem with jumping in now, or visit the classroom to catch all of the recorded sessions and follow along tracks. Next meeting is Monday December 15th at 7pm! Link in the calendar.

Team, If I could collect, grind up, and encapsulate one thing to create a performance enhancing supplement, it would be SLEEP! Your sleep is the most ignored part of your training. If you're not sleeping, you're not recovering, you're not making gains. You're leaving speed and efficiency on the table. Check out the newest classroom course for a deep dive into the science behind sleep, whats actually happening when you sleep, and how to set yourself up to sleep like a World Champion. How would you rate your sleep?
