I'm excited to work with BEST on improving my swimming. As a professional triathlete, the swim leg of the triathlon is critical for setting up my race and putting me in a position where I can win races. Not growing up as a swimmer, making improvements in the swim portion of triathlon has been the biggest developmental challenge for me as an athlete. I will be working with BEST because Coach Brackin's expertise and experience coaching athletes to the top level speak for themselves. Combining her personal coaching tools with the technology of the Endless Pools and DartFish, I'm confident we will find and correct inefficiencies in my stroke. I know the swim gap to my competitors is not primarily an aerobic engine or strength issue, so most of it lies in technique. Working with Coach Brackin's methods and tools to give me continuous feedback on my stroke, I know we can take my swimming to the next level. |

SBR Sports Inc. makes the three premier products TriSwim, TriSlide, and Foggle. TriSwim has three great post-swimming products that prevent my hair and skin from drying out from chlorine. In the TriSwim line are shampoo, conditioner, and lotion. I'm no longer getting comments about "straw hair" or getting dry, itchy skin after swim practice. TriSlide is a spray-on skin lubricant to prevent chafing and skin irritation from training. I've been using TriSlide and even on the hottest, most humid Austin summer day, I come back from a long run 100% chafe-free when I use TriSlide. The spray on application is also MUCH more sanitary than the competing roll-on skin lubricants. Foggle is an anti-fog product in convenient single cloth packaging. I keep Foggle cloths in my swim bag to avoid annoying fogged up goggles during practice. Look for these product in your local triathlon or swim shop or visit www.sbrsportsinc.com |
