CVA Tri Club: SWIM WORKOUT!!

We had our first “CVA Triathlon Club” swim workout this morning! There were only a few people interested, and a couple of them couldn’t make it to this lesson. We met with Andrea and Cindy at the Y for an hour-long lesson (they called the class “Triathlon Performance” which I thought was pretty cool! It sure beat “Trying Not To Drown 101”).

Here’s Rudy and Trent looking pale, tired, weird beefy as we were getting ready to start:

Then the guys got some instruction from Andrea:

Cynthia and Sarah were a little more advanced then Rudy and Trent, so they worked with Cindy. Here they are discussing some kick drills:

Rudy and Trent started off SLOWLY, but soon they were making good progress! Andrea had me show them (nearly) perfect form once the drills got a little more advanced. Here they are working on some of their drills:

Trent working on his breathing.
Keep that lead hand up!

Here’s Cindy working with the girls at the far end, and Andrea working with the boys in the foreground:

After an hour, the girls had made improvements in their form, and the guys made LEAPS and BOUNDS in their swimming ability! Here’s the 5 of us as we were wrapping up:

Cynthia, me, Sarah, Trent, and Rudy

Thanks Cindy and Andrea!! I think us guys will be back for another lesson in 2 weeks! These guys are now PUMPED to be swimming! Before, they were really freaked out!

I think the tri club is going to meet for our first BRICK workout on Friday morning. I'll just be watching, because Pharmie and I are doing the Liberty Triathlon on Saturday!
