Testimonial from a previous open water swim clinic participant:
The clinic was fabulous. There was a guy there from Zoot talking about their products and letting us borrow suits for the clinic. Thank God! is all I can say because Saturday was one of the coldest, rainiest days of the summer! Once I was in the water I felt like a little cork because I kept bobbing up to the surface. I couldn't keep my legs from flipping up behind me because I was so buoyant! I felt like a kid in an anti-gravity suit or something! The coaches led us through drills and personally commented on our technique and suggested ways of improving. It was just so cool to be in the open water and to be swimming. It was dang cold, but I was very psyched. We also practiced mass starts and swimming in a tight group of people. Kinda scary, but again, safe environment so I could see how it felt. I didn't do any distance that day but feel confident that I could go there with a friend and practice. As soon as it get warmer, that will be my primary swim place.
