#379 : From Paddling to Powerful: Nurturing Swimming Skills Without the Pressure with Brenton Ford
Thursday, 22 May, 2025

I recently joined Rich Bolus on the Dad Mindset podcast, and we had a great chat about something I see all the time. Especially with triathletes and parents, you're fit. You've got a big engine from the bike in the run, but in the water it doesn't translate. And that's usually down to technique. We talked about why swimming is so different from the other two legs of a triathlon. How to help your kids develop strong fundamentals in the pool without the pressure of high level competition, and why the shape of your boat. Matters more than the size of your motor. We also got into things like helping your kids fall in love with swimming, without burning them out. The role of video feedback and cues to fast track your technique, what to do when your kids start tapping your toes in the pool, and one piece of advice that can completely shift how you approach your next swim. Whether you are a parent, a triathlete, or someone who just loves the water, I think you'll get a lot out of this one. Here's my conversation with Rich on the Dad Mindset Podcast. 02:15 Swim Coaching Background 04:42 Common Frustration 06:14 Creating An Environment for Kids to Get a Good Swimming Technique 10:26 Building Foundation 13:17 Getting Out Of Your Head 15:38 Seeing How You Swim and Visualization: Video Feedback 18:11 Swimming Queue 22:02 Legs Dropping 25:44 Effotless Swimming Clinics and Online Course 27:48 Success Stories 30:09 Swim Camps 34:33 Takeaway
