London, England Swim Seminars - September 11th and 12th

After the great success of the Mallorca camp, I've been offered the chance to go to the UK and teach many athletes and coaches on how they can improve their swimming. I'm really looking forward to this trip, and hope any of you who read this from the UK can make it to the clinic!

TrainingBible Coaching Swim Clinic with Elite Coach Jim Vance
Featuring Underwater Video Analysis

Tri Dynamic is delighted to offer triathletes of any ability interested in improving their swimming this unique opportunity to receive swim coaching & underwater analysis from Jim Vance. Jim is an Elite Coach for TrainingBible Coaching and an 8.37 Ironman PRO. TrainingBible Coaching is owned by the legendary Triathlon and Cycling Coach, Joe Friel, who is the author of the best selling ‘Triathletes Training Bible’ Series. Jim Vance was a guest speaker at the prestigious 2010 Global Open Water Swim Conference in California where the topic was "Building the Mindset and Performance of a Front-Pack Swimmer". Jim Vance will only be in the UK for a few days and places will be limited to ensure that each participant gets the most possible attention.

More Information

This clinic is designed for triathletes and coaches, as an opportunity to learn and understand the principles of triathlon swimming and apply this directly to athletes. There are two choices for attending the clinic;
  • One is full-service with information directly for the participating athlete, who would like to be videoed in the water
  • The other is for athletes or coaches who are not interested in getting in the water and have footage taken of them swimming but desire to learn the principles of triathlon swimming and how to apply them to athletes.

There will be 4 sessions to choose from over the weekend. Please indicate at time of booking which session you would like to be in. However places are strictly limited and will be allocated on a first come first served basis. On the booking form you will be able to select the session that you would like to attend. If that is not available you will be offered the next best option. Please note that you will not be able to change your session once you have booked and there will be 10 videoed swim places and 15 coach/non videoed places per session.
