Subject: Open Water Swimming in the Pool
I recently wrote a Blog for Blue Seventy about how to use the pool to practice for an open water swim / triathlon. I thought the information would be useful to people here.

If you'd like to read it you can go to Blue Seventy's webpage. Their blog link is located at the bottom of the main page.
Or here is the link: https://www.blueseventy.com/blogs/stories/open-water-training-in-the...

5 Ways to Use the Pool:
1. Swim same direction at the same time
2. The Gauntlet
3. Practice drafting
4. Swim in a 50 Meter pool
5. Take the lane lines out.

I hope you find some new and valuable information to use!
Cheers!
