Mid-October update

Just a few things to share with you about TI swimming. For the next week, any online orders over $50 from TI at www.totalimmersion.net, will have free shipping. It may give you a good opportunity to pick up some DVD's for yourself, or a fellow swimmer for the Christmas season. Always remember to use my discount code, coachbrian, for 10% off your order!

The upcoming Easy Freestyle clinic is scheduled for Sat, Nov 21st, at Gypsy Divers in Raleigh. This 4 hr workshop will give the novice or advanced swimmer a fantastic beginning to moving w/ grace and efficiency through the water. Read more and register at www.fsseries.com

On November 6, a new Masters swim program will begin at Rex Wellness, T2 Masters. I will be coaching alongside Tracy Doherty, who is a very accomplished pool and open water swimmer, personal trainer, and USA Triathlon Coach. We have named it T2, representing "Training and Technique." It is frequently said that Masters programs offer great training, yet provide little focus on good technique. Tracy and I are committed to combing the two, making an ideal aquatic environment for training and learning! It will be a one hour practice, weekly on Fridays from 5:30-6:30pm. Details on cost will be forthcoming, but members and non-members of Rex Wellness will be able to participate. If you are interested, please notify me via email asap, which will help us w/ planning.

I recently swam in the Lake Royale triathlon at Louisburg, NC, and posted a video of my swim on Youtube. Please check it out and share w/ anyone who may be interested in what TI swimming looks like, and can accomplish. I was able to come out 2nd in my wave of 30+ swimmers. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qo6tDhQDnNQn

Finally, there has been significant interest from swimmers in the Charlotte area. If you, or someone you know, may also be interested in a TI clinic in Charlotte, please let me know. Hopefully, we will have one before the end of year.

Just keep swimming!

Here's a link to the youtube clip of Team USA's A Relay at the World Tx Games. Team UK blazes to a gold, and we firmly get silver. I am leading off in the backstroke leg, wearing a navy legskin suit and red cap.

Special thanks to Bill Wohl for providing this clip! Enjoy.
