Swim Camp in Beautiful Kona, Hawaii
Karlyn offers:
Aquatic Edge swim camps may include the following:
Couple or 1-3 person mini-campsThe mini-camp offers a great deal of private and semi-private interaction with Karlyn and offers a flexible schedule that can be spread out over long weekend, a week or longer. You decide when and where you would like to meet and what you would like to focus on. The mini-camp is a GREAT way to get a taste of what Karlyn teaches. You will swim faster right away!Mini-camp scheduleSession one: A Faster Freestyle clinic at Karlyn’s house followed by each person receiving a private one-hour lesson in the Endless Pool with videotaping and analysis. See the Private Instruction page for more details about this session.Session two: Open water swim clinic at the Kailua Pier, the start of the Ironman World Championships. The clinic will start with an ocean safety talk, and then cover open water strategies, sighting, and navigation and whole bunch of cool OW drills and skills. Then we go for a swim with Karlyn swimming right by your side watching your technique and offering suggestions. The distance of the swim will depend on ability and time. Third session: This is the tricky part as your options are many! We can meet at the Kona Community Aquatic Center and work on the "other" strokes...fly, back and breast while we review your "new" freestyle. We can also work on turns, streamlines, pacing and workout strategies. OR, we can return to the Endless Pool to review how your new technique is coming along, OR head back to the ocean. That’s the beauty of this session...you get to decide what will help you best reach your swimming goals. Cost: $595 for one. $495 per person for two. $450 per person for a group of three. Does not include airfare or accommodation. Five and six day Aquatic Edge swim campsYou will spend a week enjoying the beauty of the Big Island while improving your technique, fitness and confidence in the open water. Karlyn’s goal is to teach you how to swim faster with less effort with the main emphasis on Freestyle technique, open water swimming accompanied by coached training sessions at the pool. There will also be some inclusion of the "other" strokes...back, breast and fly, as well as information on nutrition, motivational training and strategies for racing. Basically...we will cover it all! There will be one or two sessions a day that will be spread out to allow for rest and relaxation. Or, for those crazy (but lovable) triathletes that feel the urge to go out and ride a bike or run, you can do that, too!Cost and schedule: Karlyn is working on offering a package that would include the camp, accommodation in a private home, breakfast and some meals. It will not include airfare or transportation. Please contact Karlyn fasterfreestyle@gmail.com for more information.

The weather on the Big Island of Hawaii is some of the best in the world with an average year round high of 80-85 degrees and a low between 75 (summer) and 65 (winter). Off-peak travel times for Hawaii are September, October, November, January, February, March, April and May. The is October and is a GREAT time to visit, but it can be very crowded, so book early!!!AccommodationFor a variety of choices in condos and houses, visit Vacation Rentals By Owner at http://www.vrbo.com/vacation-rentals/usa/hawaiiAnd specifically: http://www.vrbo.com/vacation-rentals/usa/hawaii/big-island/kona-coast/kailua-kona . I am located in Kailua-Kona, but also look at an area called Keauhou. Places like Captain Cook or Waikoloa, are wonderful places to stay but are a 30-50 minute drive respectively. For an inexpensive studio-type hotel right in the heart of Kona Village, I suggest the Kona Islander Inn http://www.konaislanderinnhotel.com/ Air travelAirlines flying direct or non-stop to Kona-Keohole International Airport (KOA) are: American, Alaska, United, Hawaiian, Delta and Northwest. WestJet and Air Canada also have regular flights to KonaMahalo! |
