Beginner Swim Clinic & Underwater Filming
The 2-hour swim workshop is a "crash course" in freestyle swimming efficiency for competitive, recreational, and fitness swimmers and triathletes. This is the quickest, most effective way to learn the essential skills and proper technique of swimming. Open to participants with no prior formal swim training or intermediate students wanting to brush up on their skills.
Clinic will include:
- Individualized stroke instruction
- Enhanced technique and coordination
- Improved balance, alignment, rotation and the reduction of drag
- Teaching of drills to help common problems
- Instruction on swimming specifically for triathlons
Underwater videotaping (1-hour in-water session and 2-hour classroom session) allows a swimmer to see areas where stroke revisions will improve efficiency and performance. This is an excellent opportunity to better understand each swimmer's technique. Texas Triple Threat will explain why the participants are not swimming as well as they could be. The staff will teach the athletes how to be their own best coach and how to build an effective and enjoyable training program that makes the best use of what they learn at the swim clinic.
Total Cost - $125
Clinic ONLY (no videotaping) - $45
- Registration fees are NON-REFUNDABLE, NON-TRANSFERABLE.

"Thanks for the instruction last night. I'm amazed at the level of technique involved and look forward to learning more. I'm going to try it on my own for a couple of weeks and then get with you for a private session. Talk to you soon and I enjoyed the class last night. It was worth every penny."
