Welcome to the forum mat.

This forum is a great place for advice, as you may have read, weekends do tend to be a bit quite compared with during the week but someone will answer your questions

Hi Mat... welcome to RF

Hello and welcome to the Forum

I have a strange urge to do a triathlon myself - but I'm not a strong swimmer or cyclist or runner - so I'll be following your posts with interest...

Hi Matt

Welcome to the forum

I am a stronger swimmer than runner; used to swim competativley when I was younger and still train 3 or 4 times a week. I think the secret to swimming like running I imagine, is technique. A good place to start is with Terry Laughlin's Total Immersion (Google it) method. It concentrates on core body strength, front quadrant and being slippery.

Also PM'd you with a good link where you will get loads of swimming advice and tips:d
