Hello hello! :) I'm 16 years old and would like to compete in a triathlon. The problem? I am no good at swimming and barely passed the minimum lap requirement for graduation; sad I know. If you're wondering why I don't just compete in a dualthon it's because they don't host many around where I live and I want to conquer my weakness in the water. I don't have enough time to join my high school swim team and train for a triathlon, so I was wondering if USMS can help? My stroke needs major work and since I'm under 18, the possibility of attending swim classes with elementary school'ers terrifies me. :eek: Do any of you have suggestions as to what type of program I should enroll in at USMS or should I look for another program? Thanks for your help.

You might try looking at http://www.clubswim.com to see if there is anyone in your area registered with them. I have taught a few that have contacted me through them. Private lessons may be the way to go if you only want to learn freestyle. Other lessons programs-Red Cross, Y have a curiculum that combines learning many skills.
