A Total Immersion Open Water Swim Camp will take place at Cape Croker Park from Friday evening on August 27 through the afternoon on Sunday August 29, 2010.
Total Immersion (www.totalimmersion.net.) is a new approach to swimming founded by expert swim coach Terry Laughlin that helps people learn to swim more efficiently, faster and with less effort. As Terry says, you’ll learn how to swim “like a fish”!
Our swim camp will feature Total Immersion certified instructor Eric Quane and assistant instructor Karin Hornblower, as well as open water swimming specialist Kelvin Landolt (Head Coach of Toronto’s Downtown Swim Club, and the 2010 Zoot 4KM Fastest Male swimmer).
