Memphis Area Triathlon Clinic

Minimum requirements for joining the clinic: Must be able to swim at least 100 yards freestyle non-stop. This is not a ‘learn to swim’ class. It is for swimmers who can already swim and are interested in becoming faster and more efficient in races. Bring bike, shoes, helmet, etc. for full transition set up. Once we learn techniques we will practice a 3 sec time trial swim start going directly through the transition and bike mount line. Repeat until tired.

• Each Clinic covers the same material. (One & Done)
o Open water strategies
o Types of Training structure in the pool
o A little about the physics of freestyle
o Short freestyle warm-up
o Assortment of Drills for technique correction
o Efficiency / distance per stroke
o Stroke correction
o Meet ‘THE CLOCK’ – How to get the most out of your time in the pool
