6 Tips to Help Transition From the Pool to Open Water

If you're one of the thousands of people who'll jump into the water this year to try your hand and legs at the growing sport of triathlon , the thought of open water swimming may loom large in your mind.
To help prepare for the transition to your local lake, reservoir, or ocean, noted swim coach Michael Collins offers these tips on helpful pool practice:
1. Close your eyes: 闭上你的眼睛：
Swim 8 to 10 strokes in the pool with your eyes closed, then sight above water. This will help you learn to swim straight without using the bottom of the pool as a guide.
在泳池中进行8-10划的闭眼游，然后看水上面。这将有助于你学会游直线而不借助池底的导航线。

2. Get off to a fast start: 快速出发
Practice a few sets of fast starts, followed by settling down to a more relaxed pace. This simulates the quick starts typically found in open water events as participants angle for position before settling in to their paces.
紧接于安排下降至放松的步伐之后，进行一些快速出发组合练习。这种模拟快速出发通常作为参与者建立在公开水域事件中，在活动开始前所处位置的角度。

3. Dolphin it: 海豚泳
Practice dolphin dives (pushing forward off the bottom in a series of short dives to propel yourself through shallow water) in a shallow pool to learn to get in and out of open water venues more quickly than running through the water. Make sure never to dive in from the side of the pool, but rather practice short dolphin dips from a standing position once in the shallow water. （在浅池进行练习水下海豚泳（在水里向前蹬出进入一系列短距离潜泳以推进你通过浅水区）以学会在公开水域场合比通过跑步更快地通过水域的入水和出水。确保从来都不从池边潜入，而是应该一旦进入浅水区，由站立的状态练习短距离的朝下的海豚泳），
（注，本人出发的时候就喜欢用这个姿势，而不是通常的蹬壁潜水鱼雷直冲式，呵，这种出发海豚泳出发姿势很性感，特别是屁股漂亮的女人，哈）（附视频，见7楼、8楼）

4. See what you can see:观察你能所看到的
Practice regular sight-breathing in the pool, lifting your head up to look forward in rhythm with your breathing. Start by looking up every eight strokes, eyeing a target past the end of the lane (a window, deck chair or small building will do) and gradually work up to more strokes between sight-checks. Sight-breathing in the pool also will help train the muscles you need to lift your head.
（在泳池进行有规律地“目视－换气”练习，伴随着换气，有节律地抬头向前看。开始每8划向上看一次。目视泳线终端的一个目标（一个窗户，橙椅，或小建筑都可以），逐步进行练习在两次要目视目标之间更多划次，在池中“目视-换气”还将有助于训练你的肌肉，因你不得不抬头。）

5. Be efficient: 变得有效
Make it a goal to lower your stroke count  per lap in order to swim more efficiently. Try a clinic, workshop or lessons for some new perspective. 订一个目标降低你每一圈的划次，以便游得更有效率。

6. Put the rubber to the road:带上橡胶（衣）上路 （此处应为水中保暖泳衣）
Try out a brand-new wetsuit in the pool before using it in open water. Even with a wetsuit you already own, wear it for a few pool practices before a race. The pool provides a safe and comfortable environment to adjust for the way the wetsuit changes your feel for the water and body position. However, check with the manufacturer first to make sure the chemicals in the pool won't deteriorate the wetsuit material.（尝试穿出一件名牌新泳衣（水中保暖泳衣），在公开水域使用之前先在泳池中试穿，在比赛前穿上它进行一些池游练习，泳池提供了一个安全和舒适的环境方便于调整你穿上水中保暖泳衣之后的水感和身体位置的改变，然而，你首先要跟制造商确认一下，以确保泳池的化学作用不会破坏保暖泳衣的面料...)
