SBR Fun Swim Clinics 2026: Growing the Austin Triathlon Community, One Swim at a Time
Open water swimming is where triathletes are made — physically and mentally. Here’s how SBR Fun is supporting athletes of all levels in 2025
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)
