Gauging interest
Hey Loco's, for those that haven't met me yet, I'm Nick Sommers. I'm a college swimmer and have been a triathlete for 4 years now (apart of the team for 2yrs), completing 4 fulls and 7 halfs. I know swimming can be extremely hard for folks and want to help out the team. Therefore, I want to offer swim "lessons" or guidance, especially for technique. I've been teaching adults for some time now and also work with children. Ideally, during my college season we would meet on Sundays to work together. LMK if this is something we'd want

@Joel Arnold I would fully agree yes. The longer the distance, the less kick that should be incorporated. Train with kick and race long without to save for the bike and run. Sprint and oly tri's I generally try to keep it consistent though. I've gotten calf cramps before on the swim, which is the only fear I have when kicking on distance events. For half's and full's I would argue that you only need to do enough to keep your body rotation and body line in check. LMK if that doesn't make sense and I can attempt to explain a different way.

@Dani Fischer those look beautiful. Let me think about it a little bit before I say yes or no, just a lot of money to drop as a college student. If you sell to someone else first though don’t feel bad. I’d totally understand. Thanks
