Winter triathlete swim program (technique & developing race pace)

Are you looking a swim breakthrough? Have you been stuck at a pace for a long time? Are you frustrated when others seem to swim faster so effortlessly? Do you finish the swim leg of a triathlon feeling drained than your should? Do you struggle in the open water?

Swimming is the most technique-driven of the three triathlon disciplines, and if any of the above scenarios feel familiar, your issue is most likely not just endurance — it’s form and technique. With spring races on the horizon, commit to improving your swim leg.

Strong technique enables even pacing, a straight swim, and the most efficient Triathlon swim leg that gets you out of the water sooner and with less energy deficit.

The program provides a coached progression of technique refinement, working extensively on reducing resistance through efficient body position & alignment, and developing & maintaining momentum through efficient stroke timing and catch technique. Coupled with technique refinement, this program will be focused on building a sustainable race effort. Swimmers will also be trained in pacing skills, and developing a strong sustainable pace.

Participants will receive individualized feedback, and in addition to weekly group sessions, will be provided with two to three additional swim workouts to do on your own to reinforce skills learned in class. 

Designed for ALL PACES and experience levels, this 13-Wk program will pinpoint your areas of improvement, introduce skills and drills to “fix” your stroke, and then put those skills to practice. The class is limited to 16 participants so there is lots of individual attention. We will have 4 lanes of a 25 yard pool dedicated to the class so that there is adequate space for swimmers of all abilities.

All participants must be able to swim 200 yards continuously.

Note: * This program is a USAT sanctioned event. As such, additional USAT waiver fees will be assessed by USAT for NON USAT members. USAT Sanctioning 1) provides the gold standard of insurance protection for the program, athlete, and venue and; 2) delivers athletes peace of mind by ensuring industry wide safety standards. Startline Coaching recommends all athletes become USAT annual members rather than pay individual program USAT waiver fees.

A credit card processing fee of 3% will be assessed if a credit card is used for payment. Zelle payments are available without a processing fee. Additional $15 USAT one-day waiver fee(s) will be assessed at program check-in for all NON USAT members. No refunds are available for this program.
