Our Commitment to the Austin Triathlon Community

At Swim Bike Run Fun, our mission is simple: grow, support, and strengthen the triathlon community in Austin and beyond.

Whether you’re training for your first sprint triathlon or gearing up for a 70.3 or 140.6, we believe every athlete deserves access to high‑quality coaching, supportive training environments, and a place where they truly belong.

We specialize in swim training clinics conducted in both the pool and open water, giving athletes the full spectrum of skills they need to feel confident on race day.

Why We’re Known for Austin Triathlon Swim Training

Open water swimming is where triathletes are made — not just physically, but mentally. It’s where confidence grows, fears fade, and athletes discover what they’re truly capable of.

At SBR Fun, we’ve built a reputation for creating welcoming, supportive, technique‑focused pool stroke training clinics and open water sessions that are open to all triathletes:

All experience levels
All clubs and teams
All race distances
All goals

We believe Austin triathlon swim training should be fun, focused, and functional, and every session is built with that in mind.

If you show up with a willingness to learn, we show up ready to assist you with heart, humor, and a whole lot of encouragement.

Train How You Race — Our Signature Approach

We believe the best way to prepare for race day is to train exactly like you’ll race. Every open water session includes:

Fully supported swims
Race‑rehearsal buoys
Low coach‑to‑athlete ratios
High‑touch, real‑time feedback
In‑water mentors guiding you stroke‑by‑stroke

This is the kind of training that transforms race day from intimidating to empowering.

NEW for 2026 — Long‑Course Swim Clinics (70.3 + 140.6)

Many of our athletes started with Level 1, leveled up through Level 2, and are now preparing for Little Elm 70.3, Galveston 70.3, and IRONMAN Texas 140.6.

This year, we’re expanding our offerings to support your long‑course goals.

70.3/140.6 Pool Training Clinic (Early February)

A focused 4‑week block to sharpen your stroke, pacing, breathing, and confidence before long‑course training ramps up.

Cold‑Water Open Water Clinic (Late February)
