Race-Specific Swim Clinics
Brite Coaching’s pre-race swim clinics are designed to help athletes arrive at race day prepared, confident, and technically sharp. Each clinic focuses on the specific race or skill set ahead, combining targeted instruction with structured open water practice.
Across each session, athletes review course dynamics, expected conditions, start strategies, buoy turns, pacing approaches, and tactical positioning. Key race scenarios are rehearsed in the water so that race-day decisions feel familiar and automatic.
These clinics are well suited for triathletes and open water swimmers who want to refine execution before major races or develop the skills required to swim efficiently and confidently in open water.
Coaching
Clinics are led by Brite Coach Liam Clawson-Honeyman, former national-team open water swimmer and USPORTS champion.
Sessions combine clear technical instruction with practical in-water application. Athletes receive feedback from paddleboard observation as well as in-water demonstrations, allowing for real-time corrections and a clear understanding of how skills translate into race conditions.
The focus of each clinic is to convert technical knowledge into reliable execution under race-like conditions.
