At first he was BAFFLED as to why these athletes were not able to swim properly! He then became angry with the status quo, and went on a mission to save swimmers and triathletes from all the misinformation and techniques that….well, basically don’t work that are commonly taught out there.Kevin coaches sessions for swimming masters and triathletes in the U.S., and conducts a variety of clinics, private lessons, and video-analysis of personal swim style with critique and correction. He has helped professional Ironman triathletes reach their goal, but his passion is to give the new triathlete the confidence to be successful in (and ENJOY) the swim portion of the race.Kevin is an active contributor to Triathlete Magazine, Inside Triathlon Magazine, Men’s Health Magazine, and popular websites, Active.com and Beginner Triathlete.com, and Trifuel.com, focusing on issues, tips on swimming for beginners, and helping triathletes overcome their swimming challenges and set new PRs.Kevin has competed in several triathlons and open water swims, but these days focuses on the 1-mile open water swims. “They are fun, I can challenge myself, and let the triathletes have the land sports!”Links:https://www.triswimcoach.comhttps://www.freedomlovin.com/---------------------► Intro Music Credit: LAKEY INSPIREDTrack Name: "5 Min Call"Music By: LAKEY INSPIRED @ https://soundcloud.com/lakeyinspiredOriginal upload HERE - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCNLL...Official "LAKEY INSPIRED" YouTube Channel HERE - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOmy...License for commercial use: Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported "Share Alike" (CC BY-SA 3.0) License.Full License HERE - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...Music promoted by NCM https://goo.gl/fh3rEJ
