Stroke Improvement and Refinement (SIR)
Do you want to kick your swim up a few notches? Do you want to compete and represent EA in the endurance swim community?
Levels 3 and 4 are waiting for you!
As with all the other EA programs, you'll work with certified coaches who walk you through pre-written workouts that will build your endurance and speed...they may even push you a bit out of your comfort zone!
This program combines USMS-based drills with Total Immersion techniques for a high-intensity workout that improves stroke mechanics and overall fitness. It is designed in a progressive structure to ensure no one gets left behind. Suitable for intermediate and advanced swimmers.
In these levels, you'll learn:
-
The 4 competition strokes and underwater kicking
-
To use the pace clock
-
To read and execute written workouts with minimal coach input
-
Starts, turns, and finishes
So, whatever your motivation to swim—triathlon training, open water swim races, meets, or just staying healthy and fit—SIR is the program for you!
Open Water Swim:
This topic-specific program uses US Master Swimming swim drills and Total Immersion Swimming techniques. We'll meet select Sundays, 7:45am at Riverside Marina. New dates are posted on Signup Genius, at least 7-10 days out, based upon WeatherBug app predictions. You must be able to swim in water over your head, at least 100 yards, at your own pace. These clinics are open to anyone with a desire to swim in the river, not just triathletes.
