TRI-4-MS Swim Information

With our training partner PacWest Athletics of San Francisco we provide coached pool and open water workouts. The program is run by experienced Ironman triathletes and coaches from PacWest and mentoring supplied by both Tri4MS team members and PacWest team members.
 

Key benefits of the Swim program

The swim program cater to individuals at all level of fitness. The program is perfect for triathlon and distance swimmers. The training groups are arranged by swimmers levels typically maintenance, comp, pro and race. Most athletes regardless of their fitness level  will move between groups as they prepare for racing and recover from races or injury.

The Tri programs train together on Sunday mornings at IVC Pool in Marin for coached swim drills. These drills are designed to increase a swimmers speed and overall performance. Open water swims take place at Aquatic Park in SF on a informal schedule, typically Wednesday nights, Tuesday Mornings and Friday's (morning/evenings). The open water swim schedule is flexible to help accommodate team members work schedules. The open water swim always has an experienced swimmer in the group for safety and that swimmer works with new members to get them accustom to the open water environment.

All swim training is supervised by either swim coaches who help with technique or swim captains who swim in the groups and provide encouragement, support , safety and one on one advice during the swims.
