Guide
Build confidence for starts, sighting, drafting, and pacing so race-day swims feel controlled.
Sighting, drafting, and maintaining rhythm in chop are the biggest performance multipliers outside the pool.
Avoid going redline early. Settle into strong, sustainable effort then build as gaps appear.
Keep volume lower, include short sharpeners, and rehearse race-specific cues. Prioritise confidence and control.

Progress Checklist
Short reads to help you apply this guide faster.
Practice regular sighting, choose landmarks early, and keep a stable breathing pattern.
At least a few race-specific workouts are strongly recommended to practice sighting and pacing.
Reduce volume, keep some pace touches, and avoid hard fatigue in the final 48 hours.
