WHAT TO BRING:
For the classroom: Pad and pen for note taking.
For the pool: An extra suit and towel if you want dry ones for the afternoon swim, an extra pair of goggles - just in case. We recommend that male students wear a Speedo-type brief or close-fitting triathlon swim shorts, rather than loose-fitting swim trunks, which can make balance even more of a challenge. Nose-plugs can be very helpful in avoiding distraction in Sweet Spot, in wavy conditions.
What about fins? ‘Kicking challenged’ swimmers may find fins helpful in achieving ease, but since we began using the "TI Buddy System" in balance drills, the percentage of those choosing to wear fins has dropped from 30% to under 10% of a typical class. And most students move along pretty nicely, once we advance from balance drills, in which all propulsion comes from the kick, to "Switch" drills, in which core-body rotation provides most of your propulsion.
DIRECTIONS: From the San Diego International Airport head west. Make a slight left toward N Harbor Drive. Turn left at N Harbor Drive and go for about a mile and a half. Turn left at W Grape Street. Make a slight right to merge onto I-5 S. Take the State Hwy 75 exit toward Coronado and merge onto CA-75 S. Turn left at CA-75/Orange Avenue. Turn right at 6th Street and BBMAC will be on your left. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to call us at the office at 845-256-9770.

CANCELLATION POLICY: Weekend workshops: NO REFUND will be issued for cancellations LESS THAN 8 days prior to the scheduled workshop unless a doctor’s note can be provided. For cancellations at least 8 days prior to the scheduled workshop, any monies paid above the $250 deposit will be refunded in full. The $250 deposit per person remains non-refundable, but may be transferred to any future workshop within one year of initial registration.
