Triathlon & Open Water Swim Training in Marin County

Efficient Stroke. Smart Pacing. Race-Day Confidence.

Triathlon and open water swimming require more than fitness, they demand efficiency, strategy, and the ability to adapt to unpredictable conditions. Too often, triathletes put in countless pool hours but arrive on race day unprepared for the realities of open water: sighting, pacing, buoy turns, and staying calm in crowded starts. Without structured coaching, athletes risk wasting energy, losing direction, or falling behind despite being fit enough to succeed.

That’s where my program comes in. I provide a clear, progression-based approach that bridges the gap between pool training and race-day execution. Every session builds confidence, efficiency, and the ability to perform under pressure.

What I Teach

Open Water Stroke Refinement
How to adapt your stroke for open water: sustainable rhythm, efficient sighting, and adjustments that conserve energy over long distances.

Pacing & Energy Management
Understanding your true swim speed and how to control it so you can finish the swim strong without draining energy needed for the bike and run.

Customized Training Plans
For athletes who want more than private lessons, I design race-specific training schedules tailored to your distance, timeline, and performance goals.

Race-Specific Skills
From sprint to Ironman, I help you master the small but critical details:

• Confident starts and positioning

• Buoy turns without losing momentum

• Breathing under pressure

• Building stamina without burnout

Who I Work With

I coach triathletes and open water swimmers of all levels, from first-time local sprint athletes to Ironman competitors. Each lesson is individualized, blending technical refinement with real-world strategy to ensure you show up on race day prepared and confident.
