Aquatic Greetings,
 
I trust you are already back in the pool working off your turkey, ham, green bean casserole & pumpkin pie!  I definitely need another week to recover.  Here’s an update on what’s happening with TI and my business, heart2swim. 
 
The FS Series and I recently co-sponsored an Easy Freestyle Workshop at Gypsy Divers Aquatics, and it was a tremendous success.  We were maxed out at 10 participants, motivated to learn and attain greater efficiency in their swimming, specifically for improved endurance and results in their triathons.  More EF workshops will be scheduled in Raleigh, as well as other venues in other cities.  The first clinic in Charlotte is set for Jan. 9th!  If you are interested in setting a workshop up in your area, let me know.  You can learn more about Easy Freestyle at ww.fsseries.com.
 
Group lessons will begin again at Rex Wellness in Wakefield starting Jan. 23.  There will be two levels of TI classes offered, with the level 2 being for those who have some experience w/ TI technique.  Both will last 5 weeks, and take place on Saturday at 8:30 & 9:30am.  Lessons are open to members and non-members of Rex.  Please call or email w/ any questions, or call Rex directly at 570-1511.
 
Finally, remember that private and semi-privates are always available, so don’t delay in getting started in your training for the 2010 tri season.  I am also coaching a Masters group at Rex Wellness, along w/ USA Triathlon Coach Tracy Doherty.  Our mission is to provide a team atmosphere where each swimmer can meet their individual goals, while receiving both training and technique.  T2 Masters is $10 to drop-in for members and $20 for non-members, & runs from 5:30-6:30pm on Friday.  All levels of swimmers are encouraged to participate!  Next practice on Friday, Dec. 4th.
 
Please check out my website at www.heart2swim.com, which is looking sharp w/ my new logo!  Special thanks to TI swimmer, Jill Zaremba, for designing this logo, which was in my head but not on paper.  Also, I am indebted to RAJE outdoors, http://rajeoutdoors.com/, owned by Robbie and Adrian Jensen, for their help w/ my site and making the video of my swim at the Lake Royale Triathlon.  RAJE is a real asset to the triathlon community w/ their presence at many events and very popular "i tri" gear.
