Class Info
The swim leg of a triathlon can be an intimidating challenge for an athlete who hasn't spent much focused training time in the water. Often even the most accomplished athletes in other disciplines need some extra help to get a kick start on the swim - but it's totally conquerable. ANYONE can master the swim. It just takes some education and then some good solid training.
The objective of this 3-week class is to give the participants a clear understanding of the elements of a comfortable, efficient freestyle. With a low coach:swimmer ratio and drills that break down the mystery into easy-to-understand movements, you'll learn about proper breathing, position and propulsion. At the conclusion of the 3-week session, you'll be ready to move ahead in a structured workout either on your own or with a group.

What to Bring
Goggles
Goggles are essential! Everyone seems to like a different variety. The right pair for you will fit snugly and comfortably. We'll have some extras on hand

Tight-fitted Swim Suit
Women's suits are all tight fitted, but men's traditional swimwear is board shorts or swim trunks. Not here! Men - come in a Jammer ! (see above) or a speedo if you prefer. Either will make your experience 100% easier.
|
Fins
We'll have you use fins while learning the basics. This will really speed up your development. The TYR Flexfins with the longer blade (above) are ideal and are available to purchase at a discount with clinic registration.
