CTC are planning to start coached swim sessions in the 25m pool at Leisureworld, Bishopstown between October and December. The sessions will be coached by Brian Clifford, who took the Churchfield sessions in the Spring. The time available to us is 9-10.00pm on Tuesday evenings. There is also the possibility of having a morning session on Wednesdays from 7-8 (or 9.00am) with just 2 lanes. For those in some long distance work we are investigating the possibility of getting a lane or two in the 50m pool in Limerick twice between now and Christmas, these (50m pool) would be only for experienced swimmers capable of covering 4-6000m in the session. To make these bookings we need to gauge interest from the members, so anyone interested please email admin@corktri.com with “Swim Sessions” in the Subject Line and indicate which of the sessions you are interested in. We can take about 40 people for Tuesday evenings and 10-12 for Wednesday mornings. Members can sign up for multiple sessions.
Well done to all club members who took part in the Blackwater Tri this weekend, especially to Eric Wolfe who was 1st in the men’s race, and Lizzie Lee, the winner of the women’s race with Aoife Mahony in third place.

A new season of swim classes, for all levels of Tri-athletes, will commence on Wednesday September 8th at 8.00pm. The course will run for 6 weeks at Lota pool, Brothers of Charity, Lower Glanmire Road, Cork (40 Min. Classes). We will improve your stroke and help you swim more efficiently - and as a result, faster. We will also give you advice on how to train properly and smartly (Interval Training). Those interested in improving their swim times for Triathlons can expect to see a strong improvement. Brian Clifford swam for Ireland in the 1972 Olympics. He is also a qualified Swim Ireland Club Coach. Diarmuid Herlihy is the fastest Irishman to swim from Europe to Africa (Gibraltar Straits – 2007 ). Both are involved in Coaching swimming on a full time basis and are Licensed & Insured by Swim Ireland.
The course will concentrate on:
1.Frontcrawl stroke technique (Body, Legs, Arms, Breathing, Timing and Coordination)
2.Increased stroke length (Correct recovery and propulsive phase)
3.Swimming smoother faster and more efficiently {Gaining greater feel/catch of the water}
4.Swimming aerobically (Correct breathing pattern)
5.Personalized training plans to suit ability.

2010 CTC TimeTrial League Results
Well done to some of our triathletes who participated in a very challenging and strategic race yesterday at the inaugural Paddy Games. Two fine cyclists in the club were serious contenders for….
In an out and back course, they raced to the turnaround only to falter some bit and fail to make a fast turn around the cone. In the sprint to the finish line, one slid off the rear of the peleton (literally….), while the other needed a push start after mechanical failure. Congrats on getting to the finish!
