Coach for swim - Triathlon Week

luckiecharms20 · 05-16-2006, 12:18 PM

Does anyone know where I can look for a coach to help with my swimming? I know HOW to swim and I can swim atleast a mile but I have really poor form and technique and I would like to improve upon that and learn different strokes. The only stroke I know how to do is freestyle. Every place I have looked only offers beginners learn how to swim swim lessons and it is not what I am looking for. Also I am a college student so I can't just try out for highschool swim team or anything.

Anyone have advice let me know !

Thanx,
Felicia

Try joining the club swim team at your university... if they have one. I went to NC State and was on several club and Intramural teams. Cross Country is another one that might improve your running... hell we even had a triathlon club. Check it out.

You might try joining a master's swim club also. I had never swam competively until tri and the extra instruction helped. Good luck.

Look for a Masters Swim program or some other sort of club to join up with. Many Universities and Colleges have clubs. Look into it, they may not be big clubs on campus but they are there. Good Luck.
