Total Immersion Coaches Training on the horizon

It seems like I've been talking about getting certified by Total Immersion as a teaching professional for so long! Actually, I've only been out of UNC Hospitals since July 1, but so much has happened since then.

I've been busy handing out business cards with my credentials and contact info, hopeful that the networking will bring interest and students. I have had my first person sign up, another heart recipient. Yea! I have also gotten lifeguard/CPR/First Aid certification from the Kerr YMCA. So, my "street cred, or better water cred" increases to another level. Hard to believe I got lifeguard certified 25 years after the first time.

I will start teaching TI lessons on Saturdays at the YMCA, which will hopefully bring greater interest in private lessons and TI workshops. The potential is so huge in the Triangle area, especially due to a significantly large triathlon population.

TI means Olympic-style swimming, like a mighty fish in the ocean!
