I would definitely be interested in a future swim class.  The class helps me push myself and brush up on drills which I need.  Thanks for inspiring us! – Jean Hagood

Your Saturday morning swim program is one of the best, friendliest, most efficient training programs I have ever done.  Based on my experience in the swim program, I was looking forward to participating in your more comprehensive tri training program in the future.  … your efficient and effective use of our training and instructional time and the fun, humor and sensitivity you convey in the activities.  Thanks for all that you have done for women athletes in Austin! – Elizabeth Colvin

I have learned so much from your program; I can’t even express how much of a better swimmer I have become.  There are so many things that I learned.  To start, I learned how to relax in the pool (something that had been hard for me to accomplish before your class).  I also learned how to be efficient swimmer.  I understand why it is important to count my strokes and how to decrease my stroke count by being in my streamline (ready) position. I now understand why balance is an essential part of swimming.  

The drills, although at times tough, have helped so much.  I especially liked the last class when we did several drills.  It helps when you change things up during class.  I never got bored! Thank you so much. — Michelle Doty

I’m so happy to have found a class that is geared to training for triathlons, but is women only and accepting of people of all abilities.  I really feel like I have gained enormous amounts of confidence in swimming in open water, because of the technique that Lisa taught- and because of her confidence in us, her students. — Judy Shipway

The program was suggested to me by a friend. When I started the program I was pretty scared to swim with my face in the water. I did the Danskin last year and did the side stroke and I was not comfortable in the open water. I will be doing my first open water event this weekend on June 4. I am so much stronger now than when I began the classes and more confident in my swimming. Now I will see how I do in the open water. I can’t thank you all enough for helping me through my fears. I can now actually say I am enjoying my swimming and look forward to the pool. I have already recommended the classes to several of my friends, family and clients. –  Kris Sorenson-Hyatt

I finished my first triathlon and much thanks goes to you for your help with the swimming portion.  I would never have been able to finish the swimming if it weren’t for your help and encouragement.   I really need to continue to improve so I was wanting to sign up for the 10 week summer course. I’m so happy to have found a class that is geared to training for triathlons, but is women only and accepting of people of all abilities.  I really feel like I have gained enormous amounts of confidence in swimming in open water, because of the technique that Lisa taught- and because of her confidence in us, her students. — Kathy Carr

When I started Lisa’s program, I was barely able to swim 25 meters without gasping for air – and given that I had committed to Danskin triathlon in 12 weeks, I really needed some help.  At the end of the spring program, I was able to complete my first Danskin race – and now will be swimming in a one-mile open water swim this year.  By learning drills to improve my stroke and structured workouts to improve my endurance, swimming has gone from being the “dreaded” portion of the triathlon to my best event.  — Carol Lynn Langer 

Thanks for your kind words of encouragement.  I  LOVE  your swimming program and all the positive attitudes and anticipate doing it for many sessions to come. Sara’s classes are just great.  She is so energetic and encouraging and knows just how far to push (and then some). — Sarah Pruiett

This is a great program.  I learned so much and the coaches were excellent! They actually took the time to watch and advise.  The attention we mermaids received is unlike any other swim class I’ve taken!  Also, I’ve enjoyed your newsletter.  Very informative!  Thank you! — Christi Lockhart

I would recommend this program for any level athlete.

The coaches are always willing to cater to your individual needs. It is a great size and takes place in a nice pool in a central location. You always feel like you got a great workout, it is well worth the money! I have been swimming competitively since I was 10 and this is the best class I have ever been in. Again, I would recommend this class to anyone wanted a great workout in a structured but relaxed and friendly atmosphere! – Merete Thune
