The lane assignments are selected to keep swimmers of equal ability together. If you are not comfortable in the pool, we suggest that you include some adult swim classes in addition to swimming with Triathlon Manitoba. A Junior Coach is on-deck on Monday to provide stroke correction and run the workout. On Wednesdays, the Coach works with the adults and kids. A typical workout is 90 minutes long and covers 2000 to 4000 meters depending on your ability.
Shorter workouts exist for developmental swimmers.
Each workout is broken into a warm up, stroke correction drills, main swim set, and a cool down. Workouts vary with time of year but front crawl is usually emphasized as the main stroke. Specific triathlon swimming activities like timed 1500m swims, mass starts, sighting, and head up drills are included in the workouts to help prepare athletes for the racing season. A cheque payable to Triathlon Manitoba is preferred and can be given to the Coach. Payment is expected before you swim.
