Do you want to have the BEST open water or triathlon swim of your life? Then this clinic is an opportunity that you do not want to miss! Karlyn is a Hall of Fame swimmer from KONA, HAWAII that travels the world teaching swimmers and triathletes, of all ages and abilities, an easier and faster way to swim.

Karlyn would love to help YOU too. The Faster Freestyle/Open Water Skills and Drills combines swim technique and open water strategies so that you can improve your times in the pool AND in the open water. After the clinic you will be a better swimmer.

This fun and informative event will cover the following:

  • Faster Freestyle mini-clinic 
  • Effective open-water strategies, tactics, sighting and drafting
  • Breathing techniques for all types of conditions
  • Learn how to relax, FLOAT and swim straighter

Using a variety of examples found in any aquatic environment and keeping the language simple, Karlyn delivers a fun and fast paced clinic designed to help swimmers and triathletes of any age or ability to swim faster with less effort.

Cost is $95 and includes a custom silicone swim cap, supporting material and snacks
