Hamilton, Ontario, CANADA: JUL 18-21, 2024 – Beginner and intermediate swimmers join TI Coach Teresa Seibel to adapt the TI fundamental principles in open water. Our philosophy is Kaizen swimming: creating continuous improvement by setting your intention to improve one swim skill at each session.DESCRIPTION: I am so excited to host this camp that has been 6 years in the making! I will give you personalized instruction and you will have the benefit of learning from like minded swimmers. This is not a long distance swim camp. This is a highly interactive form workshop with personalized instruction based on your individual goals. The amount of swimming will be in the form of 100-200m drills/swimming where you’ll feel what form changes can do for you. On the final day, you get to choose your swim distance less than 1500m.
This is a technique-focused camp, teaching you to swim in open water with greater ease and flow, which allows you to swim long distances utilizing thousands of effortless uninterrupted strokes. Our camp is perfect for triathletes seeking to exit the water fresh and ready for the bike.
The Total Immersion Effortless Endurance – Level 1 workshop and Smart Speed Workshop – Level 2 is integrated with an open water workshop to give you an intense 3 day program.
Camp is limited to 10 participants.
WHAT'S INCLUDED:
• Expert Total Immersion swim instruction and video analysis
• Partial transportation from Sandman Hotel to area lakes. We will car pool with other campers
• TI swim cap
• Great memories and long lasting friendships
• Dropbox folder post workshop with downloadable videos of instruction
