Join Coach Anne Torrez for an open water swim clinic to learn all you need to know to be ready for your triathlon or open water event! We will cover skills including efficient sighting, "seeding" strategy, managing race anxiety/panic in the water, simulation of race start, surging, passing, cornering buoys, drafting and swimming in crowded/choppy waters.

Open to all open water experience levels. For safety reasons, you must be able to swim ~100 yards comfortably without stopping (any stroke, no pace requirements). In the small group format, we're able to go deeper on skills that participants want to work on, and provide more individual feedback for each swimmer. Skills covered will include sighting efficiently, cornering/turning, race entries and exits, stroke technique, pacing, swimming close to others, surging/passing and more. If desired, swimmers will receive individual feedback about technique/form while in the water.

PERSONAL SWIM BUOYS ARE REQUIRED FOR THIS EVENT. You will not be allowed to get in the water without one. You can purchase one HERE [https://www.blueseventy.com/collections/accessories/products/buddy-bag] with code 2026triityourway for 20% off. This code is also valid on other gear on their website like wetsuits, goggles, swimsuits and other gear.
