When Ohio native Meredith Kessler first introduces herself, she shares that she is a mother and a wife. But she is also a professional triathlete with more than 60 full-distance triathlons under her race belt. Racing triathlons for more than 20 years, she registered for her first 140.6 almost impulsively, after graduating college.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And she has not looked back since. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kessler has broken the tape at 11 IRONMAN races and 23 70.3 IRONMAN races. She has swam, biked, and run thousands of miles over the course of her career \u2014 in races and in training.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With each session, there\u2019s the potential and push to sharpen the competitive edge. For Kessler, incorporating a MasterSpas swim spa into her training and recovery has been pivotal. The pool-spa has allowed her to balance training with family life, as well as focus on her swim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kessler has a self-proclaimed ugly stroke, and a swim spa<\/a> allows her to refine her stroke. In a video series with MasterSpas<\/a>, she shares her tips for training in a swim spa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Swimming is an integral part to any triathlon program. For Kessler, it’s also an important part of her recovery and relaxation. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Swimming tips for spas with Meredith Kessler<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Kessler loves to race and has competed at numerous full-distance triathlons. But it takes consistency to not just participate but perform at your best in that number of events. It\u2019s also important for her to keep training balanced, incorporating cross training and prioritizing recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While swimming is an integral part of her training program, it\u2019s also crucial to her physical recovery and mental well-being. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sessions in her MasterSpas swim spa help her achieve both. She trains, recovers, and relaxes in an H2X Challenger 15D.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The H2X Challenger has a jet system that creates a continuous current of water for stationary swimming. You can adjust the flow of water to swim for recovery or at a harder effort. You can swim as fast as 1:20 per 100 meters in the spa. There are also hot tub seats and massage jets for recovery and relaxation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In her MasterSpas<\/a> video series, Kessler shares her swimming tips for taking advantage of a swim spa\u2019s myriad benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
