I often hear comments such as: ‘I’d love to try a triathlon, but I couldn’t do the swimming part’, especially when you’re expected to jump in a mosh pit of countless others when that triathlon finally arrives! I’m here to change that way of thinking. I started in that very same predicament, not coming from a swim background. I learned the hard way by not getting any technique help when I embarked on a triathlon training program way back in 1986. I muscled my way through and almost drowned in my first Tri!

Hiring a swim coach was the next step to avoiding that experience again, and through coaching I learned to relax and enjoy the event!
