Science in Sport published a free 12-page document that provides ocean swimming tips for a 2 km swim (in Australia, but applicable anywhere), its nutritional products explanation, and pool training plans ranging from 2 km to 2.6 km in length.

SiS, founded in 1992, is headquartered in London and offers a range of sports nutrition products for competitive athletes. At the 2012 London Olympic Games, 24 medal-winning athletes or teams used its products.

Ardziv Simonian explains the free downloadable document. “This new swimming guide from Science in Sport focuses on preparing for 2 km swims. It’s aimed at keen swimmers with tips on training including a scheduled plan, nutrition, technique, tactics, and recovery.”
