Open Water Swimming for Beginner Triathletes
One of my biggest fears while triathlon training for my first Ironman was open-water swimming. While it can be daunting at first for beginners, one thing that has helped me a lot is a swimming buoy!

One thing that has helped me with my distance and confidence in open water swimming during triathlon training is having a swim bouy while swimming on the lake. This equipment provides:
Visibility: It allows other people to be able to see you on the lake in case of emergency.
Floatation: If you struggle, this buoy can give you a little bit of comfort knowing that you are dragging something you can hang on to if you get too tired to swim any longer.
Happy triathlon training!
