Subject: RE: Swim Coach Twin Falls, ID Hi Andrew, I just moved to Twin Falls from Kona. I've been asking around about everything -- biking routes, running routes and swimming. I've pretty much have given up on swimming since I've been here but I was told at the YMCA on Elizabeth to talk with Eric about a Masters swim program they do at 5:30a.m. (too early for me since I work the swing shift ). Not sure if it's an official Masters program or not but he (Eric ) is a triathlete and may be able to point you in the right direction for a swim coach or give you some pointers.
I just found out yesterday that there is a running club here so I'm anxious to see what that is about. Still haven't found where to bike. Not a lot of country roads with any kind of shoulders that I've found so far. It's scary enough to run them, not sure I want to ride them with traffic climbing up my backside as fast as they drive around here.
I learned to swim in Kona with one of the best coaches ever - Steve Borowski (a former teammate and assistant coach of Mark Spitz back in the day ). If you ever get to Kona definitely stop by the pool and talk to Steve. He'll get your swim stroke smoothed out in no time. I went from not knowing how to swim at all to doing the Ironman World Championship in just two years ( my swim time was 1:15 for the 2.4 mile course ). That's how good of coach he is. Anyhow, I was told Eric is the man to talk to about swimming. Hopefully he can get you squared away.
Take care, Randy |
