Since the majority of triathletes are very guliable (stupid usually) probably makes sense to advertize this way. This reminds me of the Paid Infomercials on TV for Extenze. THIS IS BILLIE MAYS FOR!!!!!!!!

TCSD,
If you're struggling with your swimming, then this lecture you will not want to miss! I have heard from plenty of people who have dropped considerable time from their swimming OVERNIGHT, after just listening to this lecture, and applying it to their swimming.
What: "Learning and Understanding the 3 Most Important Technical Aspects of Swimming"
When: Wednesday, December 16th, 2009 6:15 - 7:30 PM
Where: Nytro
Who: Anyone who is struggling with swimming, or wants to get faster in the water!
This lecture will help athletes understand what they want to accomplish in the water, not just throwing one arm in front of the other.
Even if you've already been to this or similar lectures, I've improved it with some new concepts, analogies and aspects which will help you improve your swimming OVERNIGHT! If you haven't seen it, then don't miss this chance!
Hope to see you there!
Jim

When I was swimming regularly and in good shape, I was able to build up to running 6 miles nonstop in my 3rd run in 5 years (with NO talent for running). I was able to build up to a slow 25 mile hot, hilly bikeride in a few weeks (also no recent history on a bicycle). Neither of these very mediocre accomplishments required technique instruction nor much sport-specific training.
On the other hand, I see a lot of very fit runners and cyclists who have poor technique and cannot relax in the pool to manage more than 50 yards without needing a rest. The leaner they are, the more they tend to struggle against sinking.
So - in order to excel, yes, technique is very important in all 3 disciplines. Fitness is also very important in all 3. But with goals to just finish a triathlon, technique is most important in the swim despite fitness levels.
