Using a pull buoy can be like a double-edged sword; overreliance on it can make swimmers lazy, impacting their balance in the water and impacting their ability to kick. However, inclusion in a training plan occasionally can be of benefit. Rehearsal of your Ironman Race Pace or as Brett Sutton calls Race Pace Groove (RPG) is essential for a solid Ironman Swim and allows you to gauge your progress. This session is good for triathletes, especially those preparing for an Ironman, as well as open-water swimmers.

During an open-water swim whether it’s in an Ironman, triathlon or just a swim (without the bike and run following), you are likely to need to utilise different paces (particularly near the start and end of the swim leg). This session has a range of different distance reps, with different Rest Intervals (RI) to develop different speed/stamina related fitness goals. This is a great session for triathletes and open water swimmers to do to build their sustained speed.
