Swim Tip From Karlyn & Winter Swim Camp Escapes! -
Swim Tip From Karlyn & Winter Swim Camp Escapes! August 10th-13th four-day camp in Kelowna, BC, Canada August 26th-29th four day camp Manomet, MA (south of Plymouth) Sept. 2nd-10th eight day/eight night camp Sarrande and Himare, Albania Sept. 14th-22nd eight day/eight night camp Ortigia, Sicily
NEW!! FALL Faster Freestyle Swim CLINIC just south of BOSTON Tuesday, October 21st from 5:30 to 8:30 PM in Duxbury, MA at the Percy Walker Pool hosted by Hall of Fame Swimmer Karlyn Pipes.
Faster Freestyle Swim Clinics are designed to help swimmers and triathletes, just like YOU, to find an easier and faster way to swim.
Karlyn learned this super-effective Faster Freestyle NOT from a coach or a video! She learned by experimenting, and then repeatedly testing, her Faster Freestyle technique in her Endless Pool...a scientific environment that provides immediate feedback as to your speed and effort. Most slow swimmers are swimming slow for a reason...they are simply doing too much. Karlyn figured out that the less you do, the faster you can go! In this clinic, yoi will simulate the drills Karlyn experimented with in her Endless Pool, so you will start to FEEL the difference between faster and slower, and easier and harder.
PLEASE TAKE THE CLINIC...you will be glad you did! A new and improved swim stroke will also give you something to be excited about working on over the winter season.
Duxbury, MA: Tuesday, October 21st from 5:30-8:30 PM at the Percy Walker pool. It’s warm and perfect for teaching you how to swim faster with less effort. Space is limted to 10. Registration link below! Please share.
