Still Cruisin'

TI is moving along. Next TI taster at the Y is Nov 15, from 12:15-2:15 pm. It is open to anyone, members and non-members, for FREE! It offers some classroom time, yet mostly pool time. The group lessons start earlier, Wed, Nov 5, and there is still space available. Register at 562-9622.

As I continue to expose others to TI instruction, it is great to watch the ripple effects and the buzz created. One of my newest students, who is also a personal trainer at the Y, took a lesson, and immediately felt the difference. She is an avid triathlete, with a great appreciation for health & fitness. In fact, I now have to train once in the gym for every time she takes a TI lesson. I've had my first workout emphasizing core muscles, and I am feeling it!

There is also a good possibility that TI programs will be offered at the new Rex Wellness in the Wakefield subdivision in North Raleigh, scheduled to open Jan 1st. This will be a state of the art wellness facility, with a 25 yd pool, as well as a warm therapy pool. What is unique about this facility is that it is medically based, and includes folks undergoing some sort of rehab. Of course, it is also offered to the community. I am very amped about the possiblility of teaching Total Immersion as a part of Rex Wellness, both private and group lessons. In 2001, Rachel was born at Rex, and one month later I underwent surgery to have a cardiac defibrillator implanted. So, you could say that Rex is close to my heart.
