DESCRIPTION: Learn the most up-to-date Total Immersion stroke mechanics that have transformed thousands.  The TI Effortless Endurance Freestyle Workshop sets the table for efficient swimming by developing proper alignment and balance in the water.  This builds a reliable foundation upon which we addd core rotation, proper limb orientation/movements, and breathing skills. Our carefully planned learning sequences ensure you'll make near-instant progress.  In only on day, we guarantee you will walk out a better, smarter swimmer.   Teresa is in the water with you, providing hands-on help, video analysis and personalized feedback.

Swim smarter, not harder at our TI Effortless Enduance Weekend Workshop in Burnaby.  Improve technique & gain lasting efficiency.

WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?  

The three foundation skills of effortless swimming:

1. Cooperate with Gravity Most swimmers fight gravity trying to stay on top of the water. We teach you to find your natural equilibrium by sinking into weightlessness. Learning to relax into the water breaks the "survival-stroking" cycle and frees your arms and legs for more efficient use. The goal is to learn to access and work with, not against, external forces. You will learn effortless swimming for triathlon.

2. Building Long-Term Efficiency Once you understand that you must swim "through the water" -- and mindful that water is almost 800 times denser than air -- we teach you to reshape your entry approach to minimize drag, cutting through the water like a torpedo in good swim posture.  Each stroke moves you farther and faster with less effort while conserving energy.

3. Balance & Body Position Conventional thinking about swimming treats the body as having an “arms department” that pulls you forward and a “legs department” that pushes you forward. In Fishlike Freestyle, you swim with your whole body in coordinated movements. We'll teach you to propel with a simple 2-beat kick, relaxed and rhythmic weight shifts, rather than arm-and-leg churning.

4. Breathing Made Easy Once your body is aligned in good posture and stable in the water and easy forward propulsion is achieved, we teach you the mechanics of breathing easily as you swim. No more raising the head to take a breath, exhaustive breathlessness, or worries about choking. The air is free, take all you need, we will show you how.
