TRIATHLON SWIM SKILLS: For many, the swim is the most challenging part of a triathlon, but it doesn't have to be. The swim is the shortest part of a tri and with proper form and technique anyone can finish the swim feeling strong, relaxed and with more energy.

The Triathlon Swim Skills clinic offered at Multisport World will be led by Neil Cook (head coach, Asphalt Green Triathlon Club) and Josh Gold (Triathlon Coaching and Programs Manager at Asphalt Green). The goal of this 90-minute clinic is to help you (1) improve your body position in the water to reduce drag and (2) improve your stroke and breathing technique. This clinic also includes underwater videotaped stroke analysis. During the video review, the coaches will point out your areas of strength and areas in need of improvement and suggest specific drills to improve your open water swimming technique.
