Mother and Daughter Team

My daughter and I are interested in training for our first mini-triathlon
experience ( or any race experience for that matter) could you advise on a good clinic in mid-atlantic states area or other best way to begin.

Hi Deborah,

Thank you for contacting TriathaNewbie.com!

It's so great to hear that you and your daughter are working together in your triathlon training. I'm sure it will be a very rewarding experience for you both. We did some research online for workshops in your area and found a swim workshop that we love to recommend called Total Immersion Swimming. We’ve used the DVDs and Books (see below) and it has insanely improved our swim technique. We also found a triathlon club called 2010 Mid Maryland Triathlon Club Annual Membership. We don’t have any recommendations on this club, but you can certainly write us a recommendation if you decide to train with them.

Please let us know how it goes!

Be well,
~Niki
