Triathlon Swim Clinics
The pool sessions consist of a three-part clinic focusing on gaining confidence in the water, and developing proper stroke technique. Basic stroke technique will be demonstrated, each swimmer will have his or her technique assessed, and suggestions will be made for improvement. We will also prescribe drills to help modify technique. All clinics are part-informal lecture, part-workout with a Q&A period. We will conclude with an open water swim and race clinic.
1st Pool Swim Clinic
Friday, May 27th: 8-9pm @ West Islip High School Pool
We will begin our first in a series of pool swims to get our athletes acclimated to the water with stretching exercises, basics of swimming, tricks of triathlon swimming, and drills. We will progress from this first clinic over a three-week period.
2nd Pool Swim Clinic
Friday, June 3rd: 8-9pm @ West Islip High School Pool
We'll continue to build on the previous clinic, refining stroke technique, and adding drills. We'll outline how to train for the swim, and provide workout suggestions. We'll include a Q&A period to help athletes through the training process.
3rd and Final Pool Clinic
Friday, June 10th: 8 -9pm @ West Islip High School Pool
We will finish the final pool clinic by continuing to build on the previous two clinics and offering a final question and answer period following the swim session.
Moving Outside!
The outside training clinic will be a similar format to the pool swims. First we will discuss proper technique and offer tips in the discipline(s) covered that week, then practice what we have learned in the pool in the open water.
4th Open Water Swim Clinic:
Saturday, June 18th: 8am @ Sunken Meadow State Park
Grab your wetsuit and join us! At our open water swim session, we will continue to cover proper stroke technique, as well as swim starts, open water techniques, sighting and equipment. We will hit the water with some mock starts, look at and assess our athletes' individual abilities, cover race specific strategies, and answer any questions. Bring your bicycle, as we will follow the swim with a short bike on the course. Strategies for transitioning from swim to bike will be also be discussed and practiced.
