2 Day Age Group Swim Clinic

– Measure your swim stroke rate distance and swim speed to help you train more efficiently –

December 6, 2018 – Triathlon Ontario, the recognized Provincial governing body of Multisport in Ontario, announced it is offering a two day swim stroke analysis clinic at the Toronto Pan Am Sports Centre on December 27th and 28th. The clinic will be led by former Swim Canada head coach Pierre Lafontaine and Provincial Development coach Greg Kealey.

Have you ever wanted to know when or why you slow down in a race? Is your stroke breaking down or slowing down? Our swim analytics clinic will give you the hard numbers and then back it up with some expert stroke correction solutions.

Using proprietary Triton Wear swim analytics software our coaches will provide a detailed report of stroke rate, distance per stroke and swim velocity over multiple distances. We will then work with you to improve your swim stroke mechanics, through proper balance, timing and rotation – identifying the freestyle stroke’s “power centre”, providing immediate feedback to each athlete.

Join former Swim Canada and Australia head coach Pierre Lafontaine and Triathlon Ontario’s Provincial Development Coach Greg Kealey for 3 hours over 2 days of informative, professional coaching and make significant changes to your swimming for 2019. Spots are limited to 20.

December 27 3:30pm – 5:00pm

December 28 9:30am – 11:00am

Location:
Toronto Pan Am Sports Centre

Price:
Current 2018 or 2019 Triathlon Ontario members: $150
Non-members $175

Triathlon Ontario Adds Mental Skills Support to Provincial Development Program

– Integrated Support Team now includes mental skills, nutrition, sports science, bike maintenance and fitting and swim data analytics –

October 17, 2018 – Triathlon Ontario, the recognized Provincial governing body of Multisport in Ontario, announced a partnership with mental performance solution provider Elysian Insight, that will offer Provincial Development Program athletes assistance with various mental skills such as focus and distraction control.

ITU draft legal triathlon is a dynamic and demanding sport, requiring more than just physical strength, but mental strength as well. Its not always the fastest who wins but the toughest and in most cases it’s mental toughness.

Much like physical training, mental performance training is about finding gaps in the athlete’s ability to maintain focus while ignoring distractions and creating positive internal feedback for the athlete.
Triathlon Ontario recognizes the importance of developing these skills and introducing this aspect of training to young athletes along the development pathway and therefore are excited to add one of the country’s leading mental performance teams, Elysian Insight Mental Performance Solutions, to its Integrated Support Team.

Elysian Insight joins an Integrated Support Team that currently includes nutritional support provider Madeline Yungblut, sport science service providers, PEAK Centre for Human Performance, bike fitting and maintenance providers, Flying Monkey Bike Shop and swim analytics platform to provider TritonWear.
