About: |
For many, swimming is the
most daunting aspect of triathlon. The skill
level involved in swimming is much more
comparable to golf or tennis than it is to
biking or running. Join the head coach of
the Ottawa Triathlon Club, Geordie
McConnell, who will provide you with both
the theoretical and the practical keys to a
relaxed and efficient swim stroke.
You'll walk away having learned and
practiced the fundamental
which will give you the opportunity to
establish solid swim technique in a very
short time. The clinic will include a 1 hour
talk and 1 hour in the pool.
Highly recommended equipment: |
- We recommend you
consider purchasing a pair of fins
(flippers) and swim
paddles. (The facility has a very limited
supply so don't count on there being the
proper size for you.)
- These tools are
incredibly useful when working to
improve you swim technique.
- Where to buy the
equipment: Fresh Air Experience,
Bushtukah, Aquasport

Testimonials: |
"I've been lucky to have some
very good people try to teach me, but last
night was something special."
Brian
"I was impressed by how much could be done
is such small amount of time.....thank you!"
J.B.
“It helped me
recognize my strengths and weaknesses as a
swimmer and gave me a series of drills and
tools to work on improving my efficiency in
the water. It is a really well thought-out
program and lots of fun too!”
Lisa
"Your program promised an improved,
efficient swim stroke and it delivered. I
had no background in swimming but I always
felt comfortable in the classes and was able
to progress at my own speed. I practiced
your drills and I've gone from not being
able to do one lap at the pool to doing 30.
I don't feel panic all the time swimming and
I actually enjoy it to the point I'm like a
torpedo now in the pool. I went from taking
over 30 min for the 500 m to doing it in
under 12 minutes at the Limestone Tri in
Kingston this year."
Garry
"Just last year I could hardly complete a
200M alive. I knew the OTC gave swimming
lessons but I was too embarrassed to
register since I thought everyone would be
much better than me. But I got up the
courage to enrol in Geordie's 5 week OTC
learn to swim course. At first I was not
sure how drills like learning to swim on my
side or with a flutter board and flippers
would help me but my progress was immense.
In 5 weeks I had become a much better
swimmer and I left the class with a drill
set I could do on my own to continue my
development. Fast forward a few months later
and I’m now swimming a 200M with ease and
speed. I’m amazed at my own progress and I’m
looking forward to see just how much more I
can improve."
