Subject: Swim Lessons Near Renton

Hello all,

I just started swimming again for the first time in over 20 years and I am interested in getting some swimming lessons as long as they aren't cost prohibitive. I checkout the TI book from the library and it makes sense and all, but I am having difficulty and bringing some of the translation from paper to water. I was on the swim team for several years as a teen, but all that really amounted to was going to practice every morning and being told by the "coach" to swim X number of laps and then going to a meet every now and then.

As I have only swam twice so far, obviously, my endurance at it is really poor, but after reading a fair amount about it, this might be a great chance for me to "relearn" correct form before I start grinding away and re-enforcing poor form as I build my endurance. I did a quick search online and found one pleace near where I live and while the price is certainly right, I'm not sure they are what I am looking for. (www.swimmerslane.com)



Thanks,

EZ

Not necessarily to near Renton but I took lessons last fall/winter at the Rainier Beach Community Pool, part of the Seattle Parks department. It was really reasonable for 6 or so classes. It is a group class but we got a lot of good attention and advice to start with.

Also check with Henry Moses Aquatic Center? they are only open during the warm months I believe but they might offer something or have advice for other areas to check.

Rainier Beach is a great pool. I swim there on Friday's during the winter months.  Tukwila might be another option to try. Not too far from Renton either, also a nice pool.

There is a tri group, We Raise the Bar, that has a great techniques class they offer at the Covington Aquatic Center.  You can check their web site for the cost.
