Roy Hinnen – What a Man!
Swim analysis with Roy in the swim channel
“For the Tri2be tutorial video , Karina and I were invited to let Roy Hinnen put our swimming style under the microscope in the swimming channel. Cameras from all angles in the lazy river and Roy’s verdict at the end. I had at least my pants full. There was already one or two professionals in the canal, why should I let sausages destroy my little soap bubble so that I can swim reasonably reasonably.
But in the end this is the same topic as with the running analysis, the sooner you do it, the more useful it actually is. Of course, mistakes creep in, especially when swimming, which are then difficult to iron out, because of course you’ve always done it that way.
I only learned how to crawl four years ago in a course, as I started my first triathlon as a breaststroker. After the course, I continued to have swimming training once a week through my former club, I think six months or so. From then on, I was really only in the water with myself or with friends who know as much about swimming as I do.
Roy’s judgment was surprisingly good. My problem is this: I can’t swim slowly, he says. I always swim at my own pace. He can change the speed on the flow channel and I just keep swimming constantly. In that case, simply at the front of the pool edge. I have to change my breathing to double breathing, which I am in the process of implementing. Otherwise, surprisingly, he praised my swimming style. So 30 km a month has paid off.
The most impressive thing that day for me, apart from the swim feedback, was Roy. After two minutes in the water, the man just saw my soul. What Roy said to me that day were insights that my closest friends of mine don’t have. Roy is more than just a triathlete, swim coach or man. But to understand what I mean, it’s best to just go and see him.”
