FASTER FREESTYLE SWIM CLINIC in Melbourne, Australia on Saturday, May 2nd, 2026 hosted by Hall of Fame Swimmer Karlyn Pipes and St. Kilda Triathlon Club
If you’re a triathlete or swimmer that is unsure of what to fix, tired of conflicting advice, or just plain exhausted from working really hard but not getting any faster, then this clinic is for YOU.
This clinic is designed for swimmers and triathletes of all ages and abilities who want REAL results. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of what actually makes you faster and how to keep improving on your own.
Clinic Highlights and what's included:
• Step-by-step stroke progression
• Learn to swim faster with less effort
• Feel the power of a wide entry, early catch stroke
• Custom silicone swim cap, detailed written materials
The clinic will begin with an hour-long interactive discussion, then move into the water where we will build your stroke from the ground up, starting with breathing and body balance and progressing into an efficient, powerful freestyle. The clinic wraps up with a Q&A session.
Total time: 3.5 hours
Water time: ~2 hours with frequent stops for feedback, drills, and refinement
Cost: Normally $195, but we are extending a 40% discount to our Aussie friends

Here are some suggestions to help prepare for this event:
IMPORTANT! If you get cold easily, please consider bringing your wetsuit. I try to find the warmest pool available but even in 82-degree water, you may get cold. Even if you do not wear it, it is nice to have the wetsuit as an option.
Arrive early: Please arrive at least 15 minutes prior to the start of the clinic. If you have never been to this pool, please allow even more time due to traffic, getting lost etc.
What to bring: An open mind, water bottle, snacks, towels, goggles. If you get cold easy be SURE TO BRING YOUR WETSUIT. You do NOT need equipment such as paddles, kickboards or buoys, but fins are ok.
