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.
Coach: Nic van Beurden

Virtual Cycling Monday and Wednesday
Time: Monday and Wednesday mornings from 6:30am - 7:45am.
Do you want to make 2025 your strongest year ever on the bike? That starts by getting into a consistent routine, following a progressively structured program. Leave the program design/workout selection to an experienced coach and simply focus on doing the workouts. A 75-minute morning workout is a very efficient way to fit a key workout into your day. Note that you can adjust the level of each workout for when you need to go easier or want to go harder. Enjoy the virtual yet social aspects of these workouts.
These workouts can be done on any platform and with any type of trainer (non-smart trainer, smart trainer, power meter, no power meter, Zwift, Trainer Road, no software).
Join us for rides, where we will focus on different aspects of cycling to get you stronger.
Platform: Zoom - link will be sent in confirmation email when you register

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.
Refund Policy:
Refunds can be issued up until April 15th, 2025 (one month prior to the event), less 25% deposit fee.
After April 15th, no refunds.
