Thanks for telling me via KZfaq that you are half way around the world learning how to swim. Sorry the swim lessons we provided were so poor. Great video though! Love, Dad

Great to be working with you Ari! Catch up soon.

This series is a great mix of fun and serious documentation style parts. Keep it up, looking forward to the next episode

Good on you Ari for making the commitment to travel all the way here to Australia. I hope your swimming improves and you enjoy your time here. I recently made the biggest breakthrough since I started swimming 2 years ago and it was as simple as breathing. I found out I was chest breathing especially when I was trying to go fast. By diaphragmatic breathing and breathing out constantly in the water, my swimming is so much easier. I’ve done online courses working on fancy stuff like the catch and it was a simple tip about my breathing that has made all the difference! Anyway, I hope you find some nuggets of your own while you’re here. At least you’ll enjoy some good coffee if you don’t. 😊

This is great content! Good luck for the camp. Would love to hear what youve changed in your technique!

Get after it, dude! Keep grinding and moving forward! Excited to see where this goes! Have fun and enjoy!

This is awesome. Ari really out here living his best life, you love to see it

Dude, looking good! Keep up the great work

Very informative video! thank you and good luck!

Welcome down under Ari! Hope you’re enjoying your time and soaking up the Aussie summer to train hard. If you have the time and chance you should try some of the local long dist races, the scenery is amazing.

This is a high quality vid mate. Pumped for episode 2.

Awesome to see you in my part of the world. I grew up in Melbourne and now live in South Carolina, can't wait for the next episode, admire your pursuit of the sport Ari hope it pays off for you. 👍

Good for you Ari to make the move. I'm sure that it wasn't an easy decision to make and I hope you enjoy yourself and continue to progress. All the best and stay healthy.

Great to see you in my backyard Ari. The Aussies will drag your swim up. See you out on the road. Live on the Mornington Peninsula 3 hrs from Ballarat, great traing down here as well

Been waiting for this! Glorious!!! Amazing content Sir. Keep it up!

Keep up the content Ari. This series has the potential to be a banger.

Best of luck down under! Can’t wait for the next episode.

This is a T.V. show. Impressive editing.

Love the series mate! keep the good stuff coming!!

Way to go! You gotta find what works best for you! Hopefully this will help you nail the swim!

All in baby, love it! Your swim is looking really good, keep going! 👊🙏

The quality is off the charts.

Ari, pretty sure I watched your first ever video. You quality as a runner and the engine make the watch intriguing. You just never know where this ends up… This promises to be a big moment for you. Hopefully your swimming improves but the biggest thing I took from this was your personal admin can improve = less faff = more efficiency = better order/balance = faster Ari. Anyway, you bring the charisma and comedy but those Aussie girls can definitely teach you a thing or two. Looking forwards to watching you worth this out and win the respect of the Aussie’s through your guts and sacrifice. Go strong!

Cool Series , look forward to the next one

Great job to whoever filmed this video it’s super clean

You can see the joy, positive environment.. big gains.

Great work mate! Miss ya!

Great video. Love this series already

Good stuff man. Great to see you recognizing where you can improve and doing something (big) about it. Awesome thumbnail for this one 👍 PS saw your dad's comment - call your parents!

Every time you quit something, your brain creates a pathway, making it easier to quit the next time. Good on you for sticking it out.

Shooting your shot. I dig it.

Hope you enjoy your time in Australia

Ballsy move Mad respect for you Ari!! Make us proud man

Hi Ari you didn't need to move all the way to Australia to learn how to swim, I could give you some helpful tips here in NorCal, but you know it's pretty dope to train in Australia. Australians are serious about swimming. One thing I notice is keep your head down in line with your body, your head is a little high.

Best intro video ever!! Love it 😂.

Welcome to Australia 🇦🇺 enjoy the sun and the great people. I'm in Adelaide.

I know that part of Australia well. Now I'm homesick!

Ballarat is an interesting choice for places to move in aus. good time of year though with national champs just finished

Best video yet

Loved the intro👏🏻.

This is all class. Whatever it takes.

Unreal quality video 🙌👏

One of the best videos of all time bro I can't even lie

Was Jack your Uber home following popped tire? 😂 so pumped to hear more about this trip on the pod! Cheers

Welcome Mate. The expert coach in Australia is Kim from Elite Salt Academy. Of course she is in NSW though, but worth the trip.

Stormlight Archives! Great series.

thats a bold move for a training camp. good luck.

This is great!

Watch out for crocs! How long is the camp? I may have missed that

as a fellow seattleite i'm jealous that you get to experience sun and warmth

Get it, Ari! 🔥

Go get it Ari !

Ay I saw that Stormlight archive book!

I remember that episode of that podcast

Do you still have a discount code link for the tri suit you were wearing last season? I forget the brand

The price just kills it, peloton tread+ is 4k with a huge screen. I love my peloton tread+ the belt is way better quality as well. I was hoping it was more around 3k and I would buy an extra

Have fun training in Australia! Ya Lucky bas%ard! Are you up for an OW race when you get back to the states?

aussies are swim legends!

You must do a Mona Fartlec around that lake, ask your training buddies they'll know what I mean😊

someday you'll be as good as me at swimming. maybe.

Gotta come train at gold coast and sunny coast

I thought I recognized that lake in Ballarat

Next time you can move to Ethiopia to learn how to run hahaha, just kidding I envy u a lot, hope u achieve everything you want this year. Cheers.

Great video high quality, come to Melbourne before you leave

Best thing you could’ve done, I would’ve gone to J.R up in Queensland but anywhere will do.

Pool direction, CW or CCW? Opinions?

I’ve been so curious what you’re doing down there

This is a great video. Are you scouting for a 50m pool to use when you get back home?

A lot different but an awesome video man

Yes!

What an intro!

Oh, wow. This should be good.

No beating me out the water 😅 😂

Just finished watching and I'm about to hit some legal drafting work and switch over to the Lofi Girl for some tunes. Was enjoying your music in the background, and randomly thought "wouldn't it be cool if there was a like a Lofi Girl Ari Klau equivalent channel with his music and whatnot I can stream while I work?" I dunno, probably a lot of work to get working, especially the live stuff . . . but if you could commission some cool repeating animation-maybe some cycle workout grind?-and put your music in the background? Eh . . . I'd listen. Now to legal drafting . . . :-(

This vid is so good

As an Australian “beautiful sunny summer, in Ballarat” is a sentence I don’t think anyone has ever said 😂

Great content, also way to get uncomfortable and to reach for new heights with racing.

Nice one Ari……when’ LS joining you 🤷🏻‍♂️

Go Ari go 🏊‍♂️🐬

Why you guys wearing double jumpers in summer? 😮 Its like 35°C degrees on the east coast

best music in the game

I want to do this

Of all the Americans, id say Ben Kanute is the top swimmer. He always stays in the front pack.

Learning to swim is so super tough.

I know you love your coffee so make sure you get to Melbourne! ☕️

If you get down to the Mornington Peninsula drop me a line. Would be happy to take you out for a ride

Congrats Ari. Strug pro no more. 😅

If someone whinged like that during a set when I grew up coach would make the whole group start over and do it butterfly. Welcome to Australia. The old days were the best.

Did I hear Coach Scott from NZ ? Scott Ballance ?

Good video

Beautiful weather and beautiful women, who wouldn't want to move out there!

Badass dude. Best of luck down under.

Jacko better get you a CHiKO roll before you go home. Aussie super food.

No one could think to title this video 'Ari and the Sheilas'?

A couple weeks ago you said you had a coach and was trying a different training plan, is this a different plan or are you still coached by the same person?

Holly cow, 1:10/100m pace for swim, I never realised how fast these guys are going, I don’t think I could reach that pace doing an all out 100m, let alone a full triathlon swim 😮

How long do you plan on being in Aussie for

Water or min water

Love your video, "but you are what you EAT" does'nt look serious.to me " mate"😊

Head to Noosa Australia
