Check out our Triathlon swim squad news letter updated most days. Click here Fitness goals operates swim squads specifically designed for Triathletes or regular fitness swimmers looking for solid workouts. These squads will help you develop your technique and fitness for events under the guidance of Ali Dennis, Fitness Goals coach who is now an endorsed swim coach with Triathlon NZ. Enjoy the support of group training in a professional environment. Distances range from 2-4km over an hour + session. There are 3 to 5 lanes that cater for various speed swimmers.
Generally squad sessions are either speed/ endurance or strength/ endurance based with some occasional specific technique and performance sets. Each squad member is linked to our weekly updated web site news letter which includes the outlined programme, advice tips, motivational stories from other squad members and other benefits. Recommendation: I strongly recommend you do the "Gliding on!" improve your freestyle swimming 4 week course before starting in the squad. This course will get your technique up to scatch and teach you the drills we use in the squad environment without the intensity. If you end up on the wait list this would be a good use of your time while waiting. Testimonial:
 Needing to improve my swim performances in my triathlon races, joining Ali Dennis' triathlon swim squad was one of the best decisions I've made. Swimming with Ali has not only helped me to refine my technique after numerous one on one sessions, but also helped develop my swimming strength, speed and race confidence. The supportive, fun and strucured atmosphere belies the deep talent and excellent results that have come from not only myself, but other athletes in this squad. These days, I regularly exit the water in the top 5 places, setting me up for a great bike and run, I've been selected into three world championship teams for 2009 and I'm now the current Wellington Standard Distance Triathlon Champion. Thanks Ali! Te Kawa Robb
