We asked elite triathlete Lucy Charles for her essential swimming training tips. In this one she focusses on how to maximise your performance.

– Try to keep a good line in the water – be smooth in your technique and try to avoid ‘snaking’ from side to side
– Work on building your muscle sets in and out of the pool
– Being in yourself in the water will help you to feel comfortable when it comes to race day
