Learn TI Butterfly - for Free!
The Total Immersion progression for butterfly is very effective for learning a misunderstood stroke.  In just 2 1/2 months, I learned fly well enough to swim it in a masters meet, in the 100M and 200M IM, and  the 50M butterfly events.  Now I want to sharpen my skills at teaching the stroke.  I'm looking for volunteers to meet me at my pool in Westminster once a week for 2 - 3 weeks to learn Butterfly.   Sessions will be from 7:00 to 8:00 a.m., and there is no cost!  Contact me if interested, 303-466-4615.


Union Reservoir in Longmont, CO allows open water swimming practice every Tuesday and Thursday from 6:15 to 7:15 p.m., and Saturdays from 8:45 – 9:45 a.m. from June 7 – September 20.  Join me on Tuesdays, starting June 10 for a TI open water swimming practice!  We’ll work on comfort in open water, sighting, swimming in a pack, drafting, wetsuit use, race strategy, maintaining composure in the fray, and other topics.  Wetsuits are highly recommended, especially early in the season!

Union Reservoir charges $6.00 per person for admission to the reservoir and open water swimming, payable at the entrance gate.  Cost to participate in a TI practice led by Brian is $15.00.  Pay Brian at the reservoir.  Contact Brian (303-466-4615) to verify prior to each session! Arrive by 6:00 to suit up and prepare to swim.
