About the Event

IM 70.3/140.6 Swim Success Bundle (Feb 1 & Feb 28)

Goal: The ultimate "Bridge" program to move you from technical pool drills to open-water confidence.

This comprehensive two-part series is designed for long-course athletes who want to stop "fighting" the water and start their race with a calm, efficient stroke.

Phase 1 (Pool - Feb 1st): We strip down your stroke to find and fix "leaks" that waste energy. You’ll leave with a 4-week practice plan to reinforce these new habits.

Phase 2 (Lake - Feb 28th): Put your technique to the test at Walter E. Long Lake. Includes a cold-water entry clinic followed by a supported 1,000yd or 1.2-mile practice swim.

The Result: Athletes who complete both sessions report significantly lower race-morning anxiety and more energy left for the bike and run. Bundle and save $25+ over individual registration!

Level 1: New Triathlete & Novice Clinic (March 1st)

Goal: Build a rock-solid foundation and eliminate swim-start panic.

Perfect for novice triathletes who are comfortable in a pool but feel gassed after 50 yards or dread the chaos of the open water.

Master Breathing Rhythm: Learn the "calm breath" to keep your heart rate low and stay in control.
Optimize Body Position: Stop your legs from sinking to reduce drag instantly and save your "bike legs."
Confidence Under Pressure: Specific drills to help you feel safe and capable, even in a crowded wave start.
Requirement: Must be able to swim 25 yards continuously.

Level 2: Intermediate Triathlete Clinic (March 1st)

Goal: Shave minutes off your personal best with tactical mastery and efficiency.

For seasoned triathletes who have the endurance but lack the speed. We focus on the high-level technical shifts that allow you to swim faster without working harder.

Stroke Power Analysis: Professional feedback on your "catch" and "pull" to maximize your distance per stroke.
Advanced Sighting Tactics: Master navigation skills that allow you to sight without breaking your swim rhythm or slowing down.
Racing Strategy: Learn the tactical moves of drafting and efficient buoy turns to take the tightest line on the course.
Requirement: Seasoned triathletes looking to take their racing to the next level.

About Austin

Austin is a city of about 965,000 people (2021) on the southeast edge of the Hill Country region of Texas, making it the fourth-largest city in the state and the 11th-largest in the country. It is the capital of Texas and a college town, and also a center of an alternative culture away from the major cities on the US coasts, though the city is rapidly gentrifying with its rising popularity. Austin's attitude is commonly emblazoned about town on T-shirts and bumper stickers that read: "Keep Austin Weird." Austin is also marketed as the Live Music Capital of the World due to the large number of venues.
