NC Swim Camp
Intro: Join Coach Trent Hayden (President Cape Fear Triathlon Club, USAT Triathlon Level 1, Youth and Junior Coach), and Coach Kitty Clark Cole (Vice President Cape Fear Triathlon Club, USAT Triathlon Coach, Certified Dietician) for an open water swim clinic at world famous vacation land Wrightsville Beach and Wilmington, North Carolina!
Camp Overview: Typical Swim camps usually are exclusively done in a Pool. The North Carolina Open Water Swim Technique Camp will be held exclusively in the open water at Wrightsville Beach. Athletes will learn how to take the swim technique from the pool and apply it directly to the race environment in the open water. In addition, Wrightsville Beach is one of the most unique open water swim environments in the entire United States. Athletes will experience swimming in the open ocean, tidal rivers (location of Ironman North Carolina 70.3), and back bays all directly adjacent to the beach! Athletes will each be recorded with specific technique instruction catering to the athlete's needs. After swimming each day we will then start our nutrition seminar. The seminar will begin with what we have found works best for endurance athlete's whether they are looking to focus on performance and/or body composition. We will then change the focus to individuals and set you up with a plan catered to you with ongoing support through your season.
