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.
