Sheila Taormina, a 4-time Olympian, to lead a Tri Zones Swim Clinic

Swim Clinic hosted By Tri Zones Training
Sheila Taormina, a 4-time Olympian (gold in swimming '96, 2 x triathlon '00,'04, pentathlon '08) will be  Austin over Labor Day weekend, and Tri Zones Training is very excited to announce that we are scheduling 2-hour hands-on swim clinics with her.  Depending on the level of interest, we may schedule multiple clinics to accommodate our Tri Zones needs.  The class size will limited to 20 so that individual stroke attention may be given.  The fee for the clinic will be $65 to Tri Zones members.  Included in the clinic price will be a copy of Sheila's new book, Call the Suit, and a pair of strength cords for dry-land exercises, which she will demonstrate during the clinic.  The clinic begins with an out-of-water classroom and Q & A session, and is then followed by a dryland and in-water swim session. Attendees will learn what it means to "feel" the water as well as how to develop the strength and flexibility that is required for faster swimming.

For more information on Sheila, go to her web site to read more about her and her new book: http://www.sheilat.com
Sheila is a 4-time Olympian in 3 different sports (swimming, triathlon 2x, pentathlon), a gold medalist in 1996, a former World #1 Ranked female triathlete, and a World Champion.. Sheila has worked with the Danskin Triathlon series in the past, and has a great enthusiasm for working with all-women's groups and events.
This clinic will benefit all swimmers, from beginner to intermediate/advanced, you will all learn how to improve your stroke.  Note that you do need to be able to swim freestyle stroke, as this is not a teaching-you-how-to-swim, but improving on what you do in/with the water to make you a better more efficient swimmer.

If you are interested, please reply by posting here and we will be keeping a "roster of interested swimmers." Signups will be available on a first-come basis. 
Exact dates to be determined but we are looking at Thursday evening, 9/2, or Friday evening 9/3, or Saturday morning, 9/4 -- Signup information to be forthcoming!!!  But get your "name in the hat" now!!!  Space is limited!

here is what the editor of her book says.....

Hi Sheila:
I have started giving out the books and it's fun to watch people flip
through the pages and comment on how beautiful it is. I know it's
going to help many people. It certainly has helped me. I participated
in the Calgary Half Ironman last Sunday. My swim time was 4 1/2
minutes faster than any of my previous races!  I was thrilled coming
out of the water. I am still slow, but this margin of improvement was
signfificant.  Thanks to you and your book!
