Description
Ever feel like your heart's racing before you've even dipped a toe into open water? That's the anxiety Coach Patrick from Endurance Nation is here to tackle. With a wealth of experience and a calming influence, he's your guide through the choppy waters of open water swimming anxiety, providing practical advice that's crucial whether you're gearing up for your first swim sans pool lanes or you're a seasoned swimmer looking to refine your open water technique. During our session with Coach Patrick, he doesn't just throw you in at the deep end; he equips you with a life jacket's worth of strategies to keep you buoyant. From emphasizing the significance of safety—cue the wetsuits and buoyancy aids—to the importance of a collective swim route and the power of camaraderie in the vastness of open water, he's got your back. Listen in as we navigate the loss of poolside sensory cues and learn to embrace the unpredictability that makes open water swimming both an exhilarating challenge and a metaphor for life's adventures.
