MPI's Tri Open Water Swim Clinic
PENSACOLA BEACH, FL. - On April 2nd, Multisport Performance Institute (MPI) conducted it's first Tri Open Water Swim Clinic at the beautiful Portofino Island Resort on Pensacola Beach, FL. Nineteen athletes showed up for the one hour dry-land presentation followed by an hour of demonstration and practice of Open Water Swim techniques in the Santa Rosa Sound.
The Clinic taught athletes everything from how to train and race in Open Water to how to puton a wetsuit properly. Once down by the water, the athletes practiced Open Water entry techniques, sighting off of MPI buoys, drafting and Open Water exits. With two MPI buoys strategically placed and a kayak in the water, MPI Coaches offered a safe and controlled environment for athletes to practice much needed early season swim techniques.
As triathlete Mark Morris stated, "As always Coach John and Coach Mark were inspiring. Awesome class and thank you for all of the tips. Can't wait for the next one."
The next Tri Open Water Swim Clinic will be held on Saturday, April 23rd starting at 7:00am. If interested in attending this FREE clinic, athletes must register. Registration will be limited to the first 20 athletes who sign up. For more information, click here.
