Jeremy and Callie Give a Swim Lesson

Freestyle, Breaststroke, 2 types of competition-legal tuck turns, and Shark-Fin drills to improve arm technique during freestyle.

The lesson uses in-water and underwater video as well as a casual presentational style that is "instantly effective without being wordy".

Jeremy raced the Monaco Ironman 70.3, the Longhorn Ironman 70.3, and the Highland Lakes 15 mile open water Swim (9:14:16) in 2008. Jeremy's first triathlon of the 2009 racing season began by taking 1st place at the Cap Tex Tri on the 400 m swim against 255 other athletes (racing in the First Tri distance rather than Sprint as the result of a registration snafu).

Callie went to Colorado high school state swimming championships in the 50 m freestyle distance and trained extensively to race in the 50 - 400 m freestyle distance.

Together they teach swimming using video to accelerate rapid progression (typically 1-on-1 clients go from 25 m swimmers to 2000 m swimmers in 4 - 8 weeks.) In addition they race together and Jeremy & Callie are a relay team racing in the 2009 Masters Championships in freestyle.

Jeremy can swim 200 m of open water in 2:06, (a 16:48 min/mile pace), slowing down to a 23 minute / mile pace in on open water multi-mile distances. Callie is consistantly at 2:57 - 3:08 on 200 m and 25 min/mile on freestyle open water multi-mile distances.

An interview with myself:

1. What do you do (when you're not filming MB videos)?

I am training for my first Ironman 70.3 triathlon in about 6 weeks. I give swim lessons 1-on-1 to triathletes, primarily excellent runner/cyclists struggling with the swim or trying to improve their time on it.

I've been free diving lately too, to relax and because there are lots of fish in the lake I swim in that hang out near a submerged car about 30-50 feet underwater.

2. When and how did you learn whatever it is you're an expert at?

I learned to swim at an early age, with my mother putting me on a swim team at 7 years old. I swam competitions up to 1000 m that year.

I do swims of...
