Kessler hops in the swim spa with Ben and Mari to talk about racing triathlons and how she incorporates a swim spa into her training. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kessler first began swimming in an H2X Challenger 15D in 2020, amid the pool shutdowns. It allowed her to maintain a feel for the water, as well as get in much needed &#8216;chi&#8217; swims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But swimming in the swim spa was more than just getting in &#8216;and doing the work.&#8217; Kessler utilizes the swim spa to its full potential, using it for swim drills, adding pool mirrors, and spending time with family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A lifelong athlete, Kessler was on the swim team in her youth. Still, she calls herself a &#8216;scrappy swimmer.&#8217; Swimming in the Challenger affords her the opportunity to focus on form, count strokes, and improve her cadence. Pool mirrors provide instant feedback and help to prevent crossover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, she will swim longer workouts in the swim-in-place pool. It&#8217;s a form of meditation for her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this live chat, Kessler also shares other tips for using the Challenger, including how to swim with a snorkel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn more about Meredith Kessler: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.masterspas.com\/blog\/meredith-kessler-chi-swims\/\">https:\/\/www.masterspas.com\/blog\/meredith-kessler-chi-swims\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this new video, viewers can catch up with Master Spas brand ambassador Meredith Kessler, who is a professional triathlete and 11-time IRONMAN\u00ae Champion.
