Can you recall last year when the pools were shut during our 3 lockdowns? I think the pools were closed for approximately 30 weeks from mid-March 2020 to mid-April 2021. If you were like me, you looked for alternatives. I settled for some bungee cords with hand paddles attached. Others opted for the more exotic homemade paddling pools with a tether. The lucky ones were able to use an existing swim bench or even managed to purchase one. The most well-known of these is the VASA Trainer ergometer which was invented by today's guest, Rob Sleamaker, over 30 years ago. If you haven't seen one then just think indoor trainer for swimming. As you can imagine, during the lockdowns of the past 18 months, demand for these products went through the roof. I wanted to find out more about how and why Rob invented the VASA Trainer, and how we as triathletes might benefit from a different approach to swim training. Rob has a wealth of knowledge and an easy way of getting his ideas across. Listen closely and you'll pick up a few tips to improve your swimming as we chat about: How a VASA Trainer can improve your front crawl stroke and your swim performance If you use a VASA Trainer  you can swim less and still improve Overcoming the mono-speed pull Why consistent swim training builds confidence  Prioritising swim efficiency over getting faster The kayak analogy - why drag slows you down and how to minimise drag in your stroke Rob's 3 keys reasons why you will benefit from using a VASA Trainer   If you would like to follow Rob or find out more about the VASA Trainer please visit these places: To follow Rob, Facebook   To Follow VASA Trainer Instagram - @vasatrainer Youtube Facebook LinkedIn   If you would like to find out more about VASA Trainer, please visit their website HERE Rob mentioned his recently published book, Triathlon Freestyle Simplified.

Rob Sleamkaer is the author of Serious Training for Serious Athletes. This book, first published in 1989, single handedly transformed my understanding of how to structure a training plan to win bike races. I first read the book when I was still at school, and to this day I believe this book has stood the test of time. Sport science is a rapidly evolving subject but Rob has produced one of the texts that will always remain the cornerstone of any training plan worth its salt. You can learn more about Rob's company but visitng the website Vasa Trainer

My guest today is exercise physiologist and author, Rob Sleamaker, a SPORTY VERMONTER, INNOVATOR & DARN GOOD guy, based off what his website reads, and founder and creator of my favorite way to train indoors, the Vasa Trainer and Vasa SUP Erg. As a professional stand up paddle boarder, I am always looking to hone my skills for the water, and sometimes living in the midwest, I have to hone my skills off the water more than I would like. That's why I am a huge fan and user of the Vasa SUP Erg - a stellar low-EMF ergometer that simulates stand up paddling indoors and allows me to get better and better. But this podcast is more than just a great product introduction and review.... Rob also talks motivation, and how to keep it going well into 2019 and beyond. He also shares insight on why he thinks sticking to exercise is so hard for so many, why it's about staying curious, and he even tells us what it's like to be an "exuberant animal". (Link: exuberantanimal.com ) I think he also will be getting a pair of Ra Optics Nocturnal Red lenses after this because he really liked mine. Raoptics.io and use code: GETFIT to save 10%!

Rob Sleamaker walked into the American Swim Coaches Association (ASCA) World Clinic with an unconventional new product. It was the Vasa Trainer, a swim bench that unknowingly would change dryland swim training forever. Already an acclaimed exercise physiologist and author, Rob had seen the effects of intensely focused dry land training firsthand with Olympic level Nordic skiers & biathletes — but would the world’s most respected swim coaches be interested in training their swimmers outside of the pool on such a device? The answer was a resounding YES. By the end of the conference, we had unknowingly taken orders from three legendary U.S. Olympic swim coaches—Richard Quick, Nort Thornton and Richard Shoulberg. The great coincidence was for many years, each coach had wanted a training tool like the Vasa Trainer. By 1992, swimmers of all abilities, including many that made the U.S. Swim team, were using the Vasa Trainer for dedicated dryland workouts. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/executiveathletes/support
