Good morning all,

I notice that many triathletes struggle with swimming.  I also know that a lot of people wish they could have personal/group lessons, but don't know where to begin or who to ask.

Over the X-Mas break, I was talking with my brother-in-law about his 2nd/3rd job, coaching a high school swim team and also coaching a Club team.  I asked him if he would be interested in coaching triathletes in swimming.  Of course, planning this is in the ground stages, but since he has coached for nearly 10 years already, a former college All-American, and hopefully someday a triathlete, I thought triathletes would be a good fit for him.

He currently lives in Red Wing and rents the pool out there, but I am in discussions with him to come closer to Minneapolis for lessons.  However, if you live near Red Wing, I bet lessons could start even sooner!

What are your thoughts?  Anyone out there need swimming lessons?  If I could get enough people with interest, perhaps he could start a Master's swim class for MN BT'ers.

Thanks for allowing me to think out loud, 

 

Ryan

I'd be interested if it ended up being a weekend thing and depending on location.  Were you thinking a community pay-as-you-go pool?  I have some non-BT tri friends who'd be interested too.

I would be interested - depending on time, location and cost.

I'm currently in St. Paul right near the Woodbury border.

Sounds good everyone.   I am hoping for some more interest so that he can make it cheaper for everyone.
