TI Swim Course

I participated in the Total Immersion swim clinic this weekend. I found it very interesting. When asked at the end of the last session on Sunday if I felt I gained anything, I replied with a concerned face that I had actually lost something: about 13 strokes (over 25m). My speed was the same - about 30 seconds. Time will tell if I can cement these gains and be able to actually speed up a little, but I think there was a lot of food for thought. I am confident that this technique will help me swim more relaxed.

Grant Molyneux is one of 3 people in Canada certified to teach TI. He also does run clinics based on a 'technique' called "Chi Running" and is the author of the book Effortless Exercise. His profession is as a coach and he has many long distance or "skype" clients, as he calls them. If there is enough interest he would come back to do the swim clinic and/or a run clinic.

If you think you might be keen, let me know and I can either give you his info or arrange for him to come down.
