Program Summary

Get a head start on your winter triathlon training with the Sea Hiker Triathlon Swim Pod. This is a swim practice for new to intermediate triathletes. Distance swimmers are also welcome, but preparing for triathlon swims will be the main focus.  Your coach will help you swim more efficiently over longer distances and the capacity to swim up to 1500-4000m.

Our focus will be on developing a good swim technique for your open water triathlon races. This program is a hybrid of fundamentals coaching, propulsion techniques and pace awareness practice. Our practices will be skill focused for the first three weeks and then we will build distance to 1800-2300m.

You should be able to swim 200m without stopping, even if it isn't pretty!

Join us for a fun, challenging and productive swim practice where you can make real breakthroughs in performance and confidence. 

Spaces: This swim pod is limited to 8 swimmers.
