We start the off season with a need for a swim committee, to get the swim program going. The swim program was hugely popular last year but Ken will not be able to organize it this year so we need someone else to step up to assure that it goes forward. Ken and others can provide the framework for the program and get the venue set up, but the club needs a person (group) to manage the program through the year. Rich is interested in coaching again as his health permits and we expect to keep the program in the same time slot on Sunday afternoons. We will have workouts and guest coaches for times when Rich is not able to make it. If you are able to help get this program going, let us know. I would like to see a group of 3-5 folks to split this responsibility to make it easier for each person.

Thanks Cate! We'll be in touch to set up a meeting about this. Still looking for others to share the load.

I am not sure what I can offer (certainly not swimming advice) but I am willing to help. I attended the first CCSU Masters swimming session on Tuesday and I
liked the coach. She is willing to schedule a training session on Sundays if there are enough swimmers. Has this option been considered? Cheers, Choukri

I may be able to help out on an occasional basis from a coaching perspective if Rich needs the help. I coached all levels for about 15 years on and off
including running a pretty successful swim stroke clinic for about 5 years in the Southeast. I'm not looking to get back into regular coaching (too busy),
but I'm hoping my new work schedule will allow me some additional free time this year for training and helping fellow triathletes out as well. -- Karl

I really liked the Sunday swim program last year so would be glad to help out to insure this program runs again this year.

I just joined HEAT and wondering if there are any swim practices that are geared toward beginners?

Hi Sherry,
Have you seen the post entitled "New Place to Swim"? I am a beginner/OK swimmer and have attended the past 2 sessions on Tuesday and Thursday at CCSU, and I plan to continue attending this program for the whole 2009-2010 season. The coaches are very helpful and in my opinion highly competent. Once they assess your swimming level, they will provide you with a program that matches your ability. The only problem for many is that it starts very early (5 to 6:30 AM) but that time works very well for me. The coaches seem to be open to starting a practice session on Sunday afternoon; but they need to know how many swimmers are likely to attend. Best of luck and welcome to HEAT. Choukri PS: I forgot to say that I am also a relatively new HEAT member; I signed up after I registered for 2010 Ironman Coeur D'Alene (either because of poor judgment or because of the name). |

I can also help organize the Sunday swims. I am not a certified coach but I can probably substitute coach as needed. My phone 860-808-4232

Chourkri-
I just re-read your post and see that practice is at 5am. Unless we are swimming in espresso that probably won't work for me. I am just not a morning person. See you maybe Sunday at the picnic. PS: I am also fairly new liz |

Hey Rob -- right now I believe they are on Tuesday and Thursdays at 5AM.
I'll be getting back to Lauren as soon as we hear about Cornerstone but it's likely they will start a Sunday late afternoon session starting in Nov. Walk-in in only $3 with punch passes available. Details will be posted. |

I think I have missed out on getting into the Plainville sessions for swimming. Any more details available about the CCSU program? I could actually make it
to the early morning workouts.
Also, are you coordinating the membership dues? I think I joined about this time last year. Thanks! Nancy Hi Nancy -- your membership doesn't expire until 12/1/09 but you can renew anytime. I send out a reminder email. membership@ctheat.org
