Training Days 2 & 3

OK, so I missed a day. So far, the training has been fantastic! We use the Total Immersion Studio, which includes 2 Endless Pools. EP generate a current that simulates open water, such as the ocean. You can adjust it from creeping along to wicked fast. When swimming full-stroke freestlye, the ideal is to set the speed which allows you to remain in place. I realize it is not only an ideal learning environment, but an exceptional place to train.

The number of intructor candidates is few, which has provided significant personal training from Total Immersion Founder and CEO (Chief Excecutive Optimist), Terry Laughlin. The most interesting person I have met is an Ironman Triathlete from South Africa, who resides in Capetown. She will oversee TI for the the entire territory of SA, after completion of training.

My excitement to begin instructing Total Immersion in NC increases each pool session!
