Swimming Terms Every Triathlete Needs to Know

Use “IM” in triathlon and you’re talking about an IRONMAN. Use “IM” in the world of swimming and you’re referencing a whole different beast. Swimmers, just like triathletes, have a language all their own. You’ll see abbreviations and acronyms in written workouts, hear swimmers and coaches reference strange things and, even on race day you might encounter some specific terms. If you’re new to the sport, here are all the basic swimming terms you need to know as a triathlete. Stroke Abbreviations Free/FR/Crawl: Freestyle BR: Breaststroke BK/Back: Backstroke Fly: Butterfly IM: individual medley.

It’s Her Time to Shine: Ellie Salthouse Has Nothing to Lose and No Excuses

Ellie Salthouse Photo: Challenge Sir Bani Yas Australia’s Ellie Salthouse has won 27 half-distance races since turning her sights to longer-distance racing in 2016. That career has seen her earn three top-10 finishes at the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championships, but a podium finish at the worlds has been an elusive goal. Last year Salthouse “only” added one more title to that impressive resume (she won 70.3 Sunshine Coast), but enjoyed a great season on the T100 front, with three top-five finishes, including a fourth at the championship final in Qatar. We caught up with Salthouse on Friday, the day before she would start her 2026 season at the Challenge Sir Bani Yas triathlon. After pushing the pace at the front…

Nerd founder Steven McKenna enjoyed plenty of success as a pro triathlete, winning multiple IRONMAN events before retiring to focus on his business. Photo: Nerd When I caught up with Nerd Belts founder Steven McKenna, he had just gotten back from a run. A hot run in the blazing sun of his hometown Adelaide, Australia. It was the middle of a heatwave and temperatures were hovering in the mid-90s Fahrenheit. He logged onto our Zoom call sweaty and red in the face, apologizing for his appearance, but explaining that, as a business owner and father of two young children, he had to squeeze his runs in whenever he could.

CLASH Endurance launches ‘From Zero to Tri’ Beginner Program

Photos: Kevin Mackinnon When CLASH Endurance CEO Bill Christy arrives at any race, he’s always looking around trying to figure out how things could be better. He takes that analytical mindset to the next level at his own races, which can lead to some fun for the crew trying to keep up with all the ideas. (I am all-too-aware of this process as the lead announcer at CLASH’s triathlon events.) Which means that none of us were surprised at CLASH Daytona last month when Christy decided he wanted to run a beginner program a couple of days before the sprint triathlon on the Saturday morning.
