Importance of swimming in the triathlon

In most of the triatlones the proportion of time spent in each specialty, or phase cycle (swimming, pedaling, running) has always been weaker for swimming. As always the topic of discussion for those who come into this world since the swimming competition.

At the beginning of the triathlon swimming test was even less significant, less time and less on the total distance between them at the outlet, fifteen seconds is a considerable distance swimming but then those fifteen seconds in the bike are minor.

But although the proportion remains uneven for the swimming segment two aspects that have made increasingly important for the final result. The first is the ability to "suck wheel or go wheel" in drafting the so-called sector bicycle. This makes the leading group can be "helping" and that the gap that previously seemed far short stay in groups. Exit the water and get in the leading group in the bike can help you say positively to the end of the triathlon. The increase in acometividad and preparing the triathlete has resulted in that if you do not have a good level natatorio is difficult that you can be in the front group.

At the dawn of triathlon even discussed which was the style best suited to the stage of swimming. Hablándose even the breaststroke or back against the crol. At present no one has doubted that can only be done in crol (with appropriate qualifications).

In relation to the other segments swimming commonly assumed between 15% and 20% of the total time spent compared to 35/40 of cycling and the race. It is almost 50% less than the time it spends in the water compared with that happening in the bike or in the race.

For this big difference, though, thanks to the drafting in cycling, swimming is more important remains the least important segment within three making up the triathlon. But the problem causes more to most of the triathletes.
