Albany Community Triathlon

Between July through September at the Albany Aquatic Center there is a new coached workout happening on Sundays at 9:00-10:15 AM. This is a 13-week series designed for triathletes and open-water swimmers to improve swimming endurance, speed and form.  First half of series focuses on endurance and second half on aerobic output, with a variety of technique work included throughout the series. Final session is 9/24 — the week before the Albany Community Triathlon!

The sets will regularly include distances of 300 to 500+ yards to help swimmers prepare for triathlons of a variety of lengths. Swimmer baseline times will be established and compared to goal times. Each work out will include a technique element.  Heart rate will be used for feedback on level of effort for below and above aerobic threshold swims.

This series is coached by Lessly Field, a life-long swimmer and a certified Level 2 USMS coach whose focus is fun and providing tools for swimmers to achieve their goals.  Free to quarterly/annual paying Albany Armada Masters Swimmers.  Drop-in fee, $10 per session. Pay on deck.  Swimmers must be registered with USMS for insurance liability ($45).  Special guest coaches will make on deck appearances, including Coach Carol Nip, the 2017 Pac Masters Coach of the Year and others.
