Jon Bird Swim Camp April 9th & 10th

After several years racing the elite ITU circuit for Canada, Jon Bird is returning home to Calgary for a weekend workshop on Triathlon Swimming. Sharing some of the cutting edge concepts he has gained training at the National Training Centre in Victoria. The focus for the weekend is on increasing performance and confidence in the pool. With the aid of underwater video camera, swim snorkels, swim specific paddles and cutting edge drills; Jon is looking to pass along the tools to improve your swim and change the way think about training and racing.
The weekend aims to give each triathlete specific feedback and information directly related to increasing performance for this upcoming race season, and this opportunity will assist athletes in the development and visualization of their swim stroke. This course is limited to 15 participants and the cost is $300.00 a person

This cost is being used by Jon to fund his upcoming season in a points race to qualify for Pan American Games and the 2012 Olympics.

Hope to see you there
