Description
We are proud to offer four swim clinics for Adult swimmers and triathletes who seek speed, efficiency and confidence in the water.
Prior to the clinic, participants are expected to have basic swim skills, and able to complete 25 yards without stopping, assistance or the use of gear. We recommend that participants are able to complete a swim session of at least 600 yards upon arrival to the clinic.
Two pool clinics will be held at the Green Meadow Country Club in Alcoa, TN. Two open water clinics will be held one each in Lenoir City, TN and downtown Knoxville, TN.
Each clinic stands alone, presenting different relevant content. It is not required to participate in all four, but swimmers will maximize the benefits by attending all. Price discounts are available when you register for two or more sessions.

In addition to open water competitors, Lana coached High & Middle School swim for six seasons plus works with the very newest Adults learning to swim for the first swim.
