This was a phrase used by a new swimmer to TI. She and her husband came to Rex Wellness for a one hour semi-private lesson, which went swimmingly, of course. I believe semi's are a great way to learn TI, and keep costs down a little. For these two swimmers, they just wanted to not dread the swim in local sprint tri's. They are not alone, in wanting to enjoy the water and not just survive it.
At the end of our lesson, she wanted to try to integrate some of the focal points we had been working on. To her delight, she successfully swam the entire length of the pool w/ a greater sense of ease and efficiency. It is rewarding to help someone come to the realization that swimming well is not complicated. This couple has made a terrific start in their TI journey.
I was pleased to inform her she was now officially a 'freestyler.' Seeing the smiles of new TI swimmers is one of the best parts of the job!
