Glendon TUESDAY Swims 8:00-9:30pm
The TTC swim program is aimed at helping participants develop a strong, efficient, stroke then add further fitness and power to the equation. The result is fitness, strength and speed.
Ample opportunity will be given for those more experienced swimmers to maximize their volume while new swimmers will only swim as much as they are comfortable with.
All participants will benefit from ongoing feedback from the coach.
While we welcome all levels, we do ask that you are able to swim 100m continuously before starting the program. This is not a Learn-to-Swim program. If you have any questions about your current fitness ability please contact training@torontotriathlonclub.org
Please note: there are no credits or refunds available if you miss a class due to illness, travel, hitting snooze etc.

Beginner Swim Clinic: Technique & Form Focus
This clinic is designed for swimmers who can already complete a 25-meter lap of front crawl, but want to refine their technique and improve their swimming efficiency. It’s perfect for those who are looking to take their skills to the next level by receiving personalized feedback on their stroke mechanics, breathing, body position, and overall form.
4 weeks - 60 minutes each!
Throughout the clinic, participants will work on key aspects of front crawl, such as:
Each session will include drills, individual stroke analysis, and constructive feedback from our experienced coach to help you build better habits and feel more confident in the water. This clinic is ideal for anyone who wants to make their swim workouts more effective and enjoyable by improving their technique.
Note: This clinic is for swimmers who can already swim at least 25 meters front crawl. If you’re looking for a learn-to-swim program, we will offer another Learn to Swim clinic later in 2025. If you already took our Learn to Swim clinic this would be the perfect next step for you.
Strongly recommend swimmers bring a pair of swim fins, pull buoy and freestyle snorkel - look on Amazon or try Splashables in Etobicoke, where TTC members receive a 20% discount).

What people are saying from previous years:
“When I signed up for the TTC camp, initially the draw was Collingwood. Who doesn’t want to train on those scenic country roads. But what I experienced surpassed my expectations. The accommodation and routes were fantastic, the camaraderie uplifting and I came away with a solid weekend of training under my belt and new friends. Great value.”
About the accommodations:
1. The Chalet experience: We have 4 almost identical chalets across the road from Blue Mountain Village. Each chalet has a complete kitchen, 3 full bathrooms, 1 half bath, a hot tub, a steam bath, 2 gas fireplaces and a washer/dryer. The chalet is equipped with cable tv, DVD/VCR, high speed internet as well. You will provide your own food (self-cook) - meals are not included in the camp.
2. Camp only. For those with accommodation in Collingwood or those that prefer to find their own accommodations, this is a great option. All activities and events are included and the daily meeting and end spot will always be at the chalets close to the Blue Mountain Village.
Each Chalet has:
3 Bedrooms with 1 queen bed (sleeps 2) 2 bedrooms with 3 beds - Triple Room (some bunks)
When booking the Queen rooms and if you will be sharing, one person will register and pay for the full room and your roommate will register for "shared queen room" (if they are participating in the camp). Email us to let us know to add your roommate to the room list. They will need to email us for the registration code.
*You must be a current 2025 TTC member to participate in any training-related activities of the camp.

Swim Bike Run: Elevate your triathlon game in just one day!
Our full day triathlon skills camp is a comprehensive training day designed for newer athletes who are looking to enhance their triathlon skills and abilities, or seasoned members looking to improve their times. This camp provides a unique opportunity for triathletes to come together to learn from each other and train under the guidance of experienced coaches. The day begins with a brief welcome and overview of the days objectives. We will then divide the day into small components to better focus on each aspect of triathlon. In the swimming session we will breakdown the common fear with open water swimming and participants will learn techniques such as proper breathing, body positioning. We will focus on open water swim skills such as sighting, drafting turning and navigating through a crowd. A wetsuit is strongly recommended. During the bike session participants are coached on bike handing skills including mounting, dismounting, cornering, and will receive instruction on gear selection, hill climbing and descending. We will break for lunch and hear about nutrition for triathletes as well as demystifying and understanding transition. Participants will have an opportunity to practice transition skills as well. The running session will talk about basic form and mechanics as well as pacing strategies, and activation exercises to prevent injury. Throughout the day there will be breaks and opportunities for participants to ask questions and receive feedback. At the end of the day there will be a group Q & A session to address any outstanding questions on programming, races, injuries, and future training. Overall this full-day triathlon skills camp is an excellent opportunity for triathletes to improve their triathlon knowledge, tri skills, meet other athletes, receive expert coaching and guidance.
