Who: All members of TCSD, newbies, triathletes, swimmers, runners, cyclists, and friends who are interested in competing in triathlons but are having anxiety about the swim.
What: Preparation is the key to making it through the swim. “Getting Through The Swim” is a 2 hour clinic designed to prepare you for race day. You will learn how to swim first on land by learning proper body position, timing, breathing, and tricks of the trade. We will cover some of the same cutting-edge skills as my Beginner Swim Clinics. We will also discuss swim training, racing strategy, proper equipment, water safety followed by a short Q&A. After the lecture portion there will be an optional demonstration and an opportunity to practice your new skills in an informal coached session. We will swim in the warm and shallow 84 degree pool!
When: Thursday, January 21, 2010 - lecture from 6:30pm - 8:00pm and an informal “coached” swim from 8:00pm-9:00pm.

What to bring: This is an indoor/outdoor clinic. We will also be doing a lot of movement. Please dress accordingly in loose comfortable clothing that will allow you to move.
