MPI's Second Tri Open Water Swim Clinic

 

 

PENSACOLA BEACH, FL. - On April 23rd, Multisport Performance Institute (MPI) hosted their second Tri Open Water Swim Clinic at beautiful Portofino Island Resort (www.PortofinoIsland.com).  Attending the clinic were 19 athletes of all abilities on an absolutely fantastic weather day.  "We couldn't have askedfor more perfect weather.  In fact, this Spring has been perfect training weather here in Pensacola!" said MPI coach, John Murray. 

 

The Clinic began with a 50 minute presentation covering all topics important to Triathlon Open Water Swimming (breathing, kicking, sighting, pacing, swimming in a crowd, drafting, navigation, etc.).  A review and demonstration of correctly putting on a wetsuit was then given along with some pre swim tips.  The group then began swimming in the smooth waters of the Santa Rosa Sound on a swim course marked by MPI buoys.  "It was a great group today! We got some great practice in today with lots of instruction." said MPI coach Mark Sortino.  

Next up for MPI, 1-Day Tri Camps!
