8 Weeks to Rage: Swim Focus!
Get back into the swim of things and get ready for the Lake Mead season opener: Rage Triathlon!
Swim Las Vegas offers this race specific training program starting with 4 weeks of coached training in the pool, (to shake off the cobwebs, get back your technique and buildup your strength) and then 4 weeks of coached and kayak supported open water training to build confidence and hone your open water skills at Lake Mead along the actual Rage course.
We do quite a lot more than just lifeguard while you swim the buoy line. We actually have workouts in an open water setting and give you tips and technique advice while you are swimming. Each week of the 8 weeks, you will be given daily workouts to complete on your own schedule/time as “homework” prior to our next group session.
You will finish our program a more efficient, confident and technical swimmer ready to attack the Rage bike course relaxed and with energy. We’ll be focusing on energy conservation, swim efficiency and power phase development. Great for both beginner, novice and advanced swimmers/triathletes.
With three Rage distances to choose from: Sprint, Olympic & Half, we are committed to providing you proper swim training at every level in order that you finish your Rage swim better than you ever have.
