On Sunday the 23rd February we held two sessions in the TotalImmersion technique of swimming in Fermoy Leisure Centre. The methodology of TotalImmersion technique is to help triathletes to swim more efficiently and to learn how use less energy while swimming.  The course was run by Melissa Duncan from The SwimStudio based in Co Laois. Training covered both classroom and pool lessons.  As part of the course each club member was videotapedso all the participants got an individual valuation and critique of their ownswim. Members were recorded at the start of day and again at the end of the dayto see the improvement in their swimming technique. It was a very interestingand educational day and all the participants greed that they had learned somethingnew and lots of different techniques to practice going forward.
