Also at a triathlon, you're swimming in open water with rolling waves, water currents, and people swimming all around you kicking and jabbing. I heard that makes it way harder.
This is probably the stroke I should learn to master: flip onto my back and just flounder slowly to the finish  .

Lol that's what my wife said too. It's not even about the effort of training for this, it's the "$83.94 waste of money" hahaha |
The video is not wrong, if the water isn't too choppy you can lie on your back and float indefinitely.
