Swimming Clinics and Training

™ 
Tri Faster's Swim Faster and Swim Faster Express clinics are perfect for competitive swimmers, triathletes, or anyone looking to improve their freestyle (front crawl) and to be more comfortable in open water races.  Hundreds of athletes have gotten faster by attending one of these clinics. Each clinic includes analysis of your stroke, drill instruction, and mass start practice. The full version also includes videotaping and more time for learning the drills. Upon leaving, you will have a better idea of proper freestyle technique and understand which drills to focus upon to overcome any personal freestyle technique issues.

Swim Training

Prepare for your upcoming triathlon swims like you never have before. The Tri Faster Swim Training program offers purposeful, directed swim workouts geared towards helping you achieve your swim peak for your key events. Practices will be supervised by two on-deck coaches, Lauren Jensen (who has had over 2000 triathletes learn through her Swim Faster system of coaching) and Tracy Haun (Head Swim Coach of the YMCA Barracuda Swim Team).
