Basic Swim Technique: Balance and Comfortable
Do your triathlons start when you
get out of the water?
Do you feel like you swim like a rock?
Do
lifeguards tell you your going the wrong way in open water swimming?
One of the biggest fears of triathletes is the swim portion of
the race. A race is not won with a great swim but it can be lost with a poor
swim. We can help you eliminate your anxiety about swimming while becoming
balanced, streamlined, and confident with the open water swim portion. You will
feel comfortable and competitive in the water. Individual attention is assured
with small class size and three coaches on deck. We will help you build an
efficient freestyle stroke.
Class includes:
- Before and after underwater video taping for baseline and
reevaluation
- Proper body positioning – maintain a horizontal and
streamlined position in the water and learn correct body roll
- Head position and movement
- Hand entry and recovery
- Yes, we are going to teach the Catch and power phase of the
stroke
- Improved breathing capability
- Open water swim technique – Sighting and swimming in a
straight line
- Every athlete will receive a Well-Fit swim cap and a water
bottle.
The class is designed for swimmer at all levels.
This class will be coached by:
Maurice Wills, Heidi Sarna, Keith Klebacha, and Lara Battalini.
