Why progress stalls

Does your stroke look the same as it did
six months ago?

Working hard in the pool is not always the problem. A lot of triathletes are putting in the effort. You show up. You do your workouts. You try to push through.

But the swim still feels slow, tiring, and frustrating.

Usually that is not because you are lazy or not fit enough. It is because the wrong things are being worked on in the wrong order.
