These are videos I have found that I like for technique. They re easy to follow with good demos. Use some common sense. Just because they worked for me doesn't mean they will work for you.

• SeaHiker - great vids on stroke rate, speed and recovery with focus on open water

• Chloe Sutton - plethora of great instructional material from former olympian

• Triathlon Taren - open water specifics for triathletes

Here's a list of workouts I have done. My goal is long distance one water swimming so keep that in mind.

Things to think about when headed into open water.
