ORU SWIM SESSIONS CONTINUE.
Details:
You will need to have a signed waiver of Liability to Participate: Download ORU Waiver
Each Tuesday night and Thursday night (except holidays and weather closings), on-going. From 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm (NEW TIME!) at the in-door pool in the ORU-Kenneth H. Cooper Aerobics Center. A splendid 50-meter pool (just about open water for us weak swimmers).
It is FREE for TAT members. We have lanes 5 & 6 of the pool reserved for that one-hour period. Show the front desk your TAT membership card, and also check in with our lane-monitor in the pool area. If you haven’t signed the ORU Liability Waiver (see above), make sure you do before you swim!
ORU Dress Code Applies: men-NO SPEEDO briefs; women-NO 2-PIECE SUITS. Tri-shorts should be ok.
We’ll have a TAT member there to give some work-out plans, and get you going. Mostly, this is to provide an opportunity for triathletes to get together during the early-winter months to train, improve stroke technique and efficiency with practice, and have fun commiserating and looking forward to the 2010 Triathlon Season.
Note: this was a great success all last season. So, we have extended it. This is a major benefit of being in TAT. (If you are not a member, go the the “membership” and ”join” page/post to sign up on-line.)
Be prompt! We have only that hour, so you need to be ready to get wet and train at 6:00 pm exactly. Watch the clock–we cannot abuse the hour we have without risking it all.
Location finder:
Building numbered “14″ on the map, near 81st Street in the southeast corner of the ORU campus.

Training or Coaching.
These sessions are for training. Those organizing the session are triathletes just like you, also looking for a good workout. They are not coaches, but may be willing to give you some pointers. If you need or expect serious coaching on your technique, there are several coaches and schools in the area. For example, Janet Wilson, a TAT member, is a USA Triathlon Certified Triathlon Coach. Check out her services at www.coach-janet.com.
Open-Water Training:
Check the forum for the latest on OW swiming excursions. There are opportunities each week, generally.
