Triathlon Skills Swim Program

We developed our triathlon skills swim program for triathletes or open water swimmers who want to enter the new season confident in the specific skills necessary to perform well in race day conditions.

How to effectively sight and draft are two skills essential to a good swim, but are far too often not practiced.  The race start is a high energy situation that can either leave you frustrated and gasping for breath, or in a place where you want to be.  This too, is something that we will work on in class.  When it comes to wetsuits, it's proven that use of a wetsuit will allow you to swim faster, further, and with less effort.  We will address this as we spend some time during this program in our wetsuits.  For those of you who do not have a wetsuit, we will provide for you, free of charge, the use of a new wetsuit during class. 

The purpose of this class is to work on triathlon specific skills - as such, participants should come to the first class already able to swim 400 yards.
