Triathlon England / Swim Smooth Open water Coaching Day a success!

Published:

Ripon Racecourse was the host to yet another successful Triathlon England open water training day held on Saturday 12th July in partnership with Swim Smooth.

Fifty-three lucky participants booked on to the day, which was also being organised in conjunction with the largest club event in the country, Ripon Triathlon.  The participants were among the first in England to receive the new Swim Smooth Open Water Training Guide, along with a fabulous pink swim cap.

Louise Barley one of the day’s participants emailed to say “ I Just wanted to say thank you for the training day on Saturday.  I arrived with excitement, sat through the presentation filled with anxiety, hopped into the water a trembling wreck but emerged an hour later with a smile on my face!!  It’s given me hope that I might be able to reach my goal of a long and slow 1.2 mile swim at the end of next month in the Zell am See half Ironman”.

Nine of the regions BTF Coaches also shadowed the swim smooth coaches on the day, learning news skills and coaching points, but most importantly had the opportunity to share their own knowledge and experiences.

A few pictures are available on the regional facebook page.

These days are likely to be organised again in 2015.  To be added to the contact list, or to register your interest as a coach or participant, then please email michellescott@triathlonengland.org
