Tautness and body line. Also, being relaxed but athletically engaged. We don't muscle the water, we work with it.

Do you know how to duck dive under ocean surf? It's a valuable skill, especially if you are racing the the @herbalife24triathlon or @ironmantri #IM703Oceanside. ..Learn at our beach workouts--Wednesdays in Santa Monica or Sundays in Redondo Beach.
