I enjoyed a fun year of triathlons culminating at the Barrelman Tri in Sept. I have a lot to learn and looking to spend the winter learning better swim technique. Any recommendations for an instructor or coach that can help?
If you are look Tri Specific swim training then look at a team in Hamilton. Its called TriHart. Webesite is www.trihartriathlon.com.. I think... Look for a website with a big lion as a logo! Lee Hart is the coach and he trains a range of athletes from Elite to Ironman distance. He has a swim background and specializes in swim portion of the multisport. They train at Mcmaster for the most part and plenty of people come from oakville or burlington. Goodluck and let me know how it goes.
I'm way late to the party here, but you might also look for a masters team.... I swim with Oakville Masters, and have cut my swim times down significantly. Tough to get in, though, as there is a waiting list.... so you may want to submit your name early.
This month we talk with gsmacleod, aka Coach Shane MacLeod on his coaching philosophy, his approach to gadgets, training plans, missed workouts and strength training.
