TOTAL IMMERSION SWIM CLINICS: The Total Immersion (TI) approach to swimming has been successfully adopted by thousands of people.. triathletes as well as people just wanting to become better swimmers. The TI approach is to use the whole body to move in a streamlined and balanced way -- "like a fish". There will be two Total Immersion swim clinics offered at Multisport World 2012: TI Endurance Skills and TI Speed Skills:
TI Basic Balance Clinic: The Total Immersion Basic Balance Clinic is for "advanced" beginner to intermediate swimmers and is designed to teach you how to swim with significantly more ease and a noticeably smoother freestyle stroke. With a focus on teaching you how to achieve a "weightless" feeling by cooperating with gravity, you'll learn to save energy, calm your kick and feel more comfort and control.
TI Speed Skills Clinic: The Total Immersion Speed Skills clinic is for athletes with intermediate to advanced swimming skills looking to swim FASTER (past experience with a TI clinic a definite PLUS). The goal of this 75-minute clinic is to show athletes how to master the “math” of speed -- the optimal combination of Stroke Length and Stroke Rate that brings more speed with less effort. The clinic will have you use a Tempo Trainer to (1) discover the range of stroke counts best suited to your height and skill level and (2) "hard-wire" steady pacing skills into your brain.
