Swim Coaching-MI

Based on all the ST advice I’ve received, I finally hooked up with a swim coach.

The Ann Arbor Tri Club had a swim clinic I couldn’t attend but I contacted the gal putting it on and had my first lesson this a.m.
Wow is all I can say.

I’ve had classes thru the local rec center geared toward triathletes and this gal blew them outta the water – no pun intended.

Her name is Valerie Richardson: www.coachval.com

I *highly *recommend her for anyone in the Ann Arbor area.

So worth it, just in one lesson, by correcting my breathing & form I took 4-5 arm strokes off my 25 yard average.

great to hear!!! Keep it up. I think this was suggested in the other thread but check out the Ann Arbor masters groups also. I have swum with them from time to time when in town and they are a great group. I think they swim at Fuller pool in the summer and at the rec center off of Brooks Street in the winter.

That’s great! I’m glad to hear that you found a couch that is so helpful. Sounds like you’ll be tearing up the lakes by the end of the summer.
