Fall classes/clinics

TI greetings,

The tri season is about to finish for 2009, and the time to plan for next year is NOW!! I am very grateful for the rapidly growing interest in TI swim technique and training, and the new opportunities that have arisen. There are two options that are now available for this fall:

1) Easy Freestyle Clinic at Gypsy Divers in Raleigh, Sat, Nov 21st from 1-5pm. This 4 hour clinic is co-sponsored by the FS Series, and will provide plenty of pool and classroom time to begin or enhance your journey to successful swimming. Learn how a balanced and efficient technique can transform your triathlon experience. Lengthen your stroke, save energy and reduce your strokes per length (SPL). Two instructors in attendance. Cost is $165 and you can register at www.fsseries.com

2) Group Classes at Rex Wellness Ctr. in Wakefield. Two levels of Total Immersion Classes will be offered starting on Sat, Oct 10, beginner and advanced TI. These are 5 weekly one hour sessions, for members and non-members of Rex Wellness, $125 for members and $175 non-members.
The format will be similar to the EF model, focusing on balance & technique, achieving some mastery of TI principles and focal point drills. TI level 1 required for entrance to TI level 2, unless approved by myself. More info can be obtained from Rex Wellness at 570-1511. No class on Halloween weekend.

And, if you or someone you know is struggling w/ anxiety and/or water phobia, Rex offers a very basic class called "Getting Your Feet Wet," which is ridiculously cheap at $64 for non-members, and very helpful. In fact, several people have swum freestyle and breastroke for the first time in their lives!!
I love teaching this class!

I will be offering a free TI clinic on the eve of the Lake Royale Triathlon on Sat, Oct 3rd from 5-5:45pm, for all registrants. Then, I will join the swimmers in the lake on race day, as a member of a tri relay, the Total Immersion Racers. You can sign up for this season finale triathlon at the FS Series site, www.fsseries.com

I hope to see you at one or more of these upcoming events!!
