Total Immersion Clinic in Kansas City

I would love to nominate the pool at Prairie Life Center in Olathe. I don't the authority to make it happen, but will try to talk to someone this week who might.

Sounds cool. I think there are a few of you guys swimming there now!

There are several triathletes in the Master Swim class. We doften do some TI drills, so others may very interested. I'll check around this week.

Are you in the AM group? I swim there too, on Tues and Thurs nites and sometime on Sunday.

Yeah, I've been doing the 6 AM Tues, Thurs swims for a few months now. Kelly has helped me with TI drills to improve my technique.

I'd be interested in attending it when you get it setup. I don't have any suggestions on where to have it though. I use the Jewish Community Center (its next to Sprint where I work), but I am pretty sure they will not be willing to close down the pool during normal hours.

I've alerted Hap (the STL TI Coach) about Loretta at PLC Olathe. Hopefully, she will help get the ball rolling.

BTW, can a non PLC member attend the Masters' Classes? I work out at 24hr fitness.

Thanks for Haps email. Loretta said she has been trying to get ahold of him, but there has been some breakdown in communication (I don't think the email address she has for him is correct....can't remember for sure).

I think you would be best served asking Loretta about joining the Master's Swim group. I think it's $10/day for a day pass, but maybe she will cut you a deal....couldn't say for sure.

I don't know about non-PLC members attending Master Swim classes. My suggestion would be to talk to Loretta about that. Do you happen to have an idea what the cost would to attend such a clinic?

I'm not sure how PLC works for master's swims & non-members. When I was looking around at gyms (to find a new one with a pool) to join, I seem to remember them saying you needed to be a member there to go to the class. (All classes are at no extra charge for members). But I could be confused.... maybe that was the JCC. Best to check with the directors at the gym. Still, if you're going to go even twice a week, if it is $10 a pop, you'd be better off to just join.
I do have some guest passes if anyone wants to come try it out first. Just PM me, or you can always stop by and they'll give you a free guest pass at the desk.

Mike, I'm doing the same master's class as you (6 am Tues/Thurs). I just started going a few weeks ago. I'm in the far north lane by the windows (the slow lane ). You should stop by and say hi before class sometime. I've only really met the other people in my lane and the instructor so far.

David, So this makes at least three of us here at Sprint (you, me, mars). Small world. We'll have to do a BT lunch sometime.

For anyone attending the TI Clinics they are $495. You can put a $250 deposit down. Its a bit pricey. I was lucky in that my office paid for half of it. I footed the rest of the bill, but TOTALLY worth it.

You could also do payments if needed (I think) if he schedule's it far enough out. I think you'd have to do it by phone.


Well, if it gets too pricey at PLC, I will just stick with the 24hr fitness pool. I know that JCPRD has Masters' cards for the pool at Roeland Park. You would swim with the KC Blazers.

JCC requires you to be a JCC member but then I think the master's swims are free.


Yeah, that would be fun. Send me your Sprint info...

Yes, JCC masters classes are free if you are a member.
