Description
Total Immersion Swim Camp
Nanaimo, British Columbia
This camp is designed for beginner and intermediate swimmers seeking Total Immersion instruction in the pool and open water. Our philosophy is Kaizen swimming; creating continuous improvement by setting your intention to improve one swim skill at each session.
This is a technique-focused camp, teaching you front crawl technique and with an emphasis on converting to the open water. Swim with greater ease and flow, which allows you to swim long distances utilizing thousands of effortless uninterrupted strokes. Our camp is perfect for triathletes seeking to exit the water fresh and ready for the bike.
It is highly recommended that attendees be able to swim 200 yards/meters comfortably to obtain the greatest benefit from this experience. Also, familiarity with the Total Immersion drill sequence using balance, streamline, and propulsion.
