Subject: RE: swimmingOriginally posted by stoners swimming ![](https://beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/images/emoticons/surprise.gif) , am thinking of starting this sport Swimming is a pretty good life skill (you really never know when you'll need it) and an important prerequisite for this sport. I was a lifeguard and swimming instructor in college. Don't get in the water if you're counting on someone like me to save your life! If you're not proficient, get some lessons and become proficient. Swimming is a lot of technique (plus some confidence) and learning proper technique will pay benefits. |
